How to produce Olive oil..

Olive oil is important to many people. It’s a bit difficult and long process to produce olive oil. I will write the steps of producing olive oil.

First, between September and December; the olives are harvested by hand or with sticks and rakes. Then, they are collected on nets beneath the trees. After that, leaves and small stones are removed and the olives are run through a washer to remove any impurities before crushing. Next, within 24-36 hours of picking, the olives are crushed by granite millstones. The step after that is that the olive paste obtained is layered on mats which are put under pressure from a screw or hydraulic press. Then, the liquid produced is collected and put through a centrifugal separator to separate the water and impurities from the oil. Finally, after centrifugation, the oil is obtained.

As you can see, it’s a long and difficult process but by following the previous steps carefully you will end up with a high-quality olive oil.
