The Traditional Method for Producing Olive Oil
Olive trees are carefully cultivated, and many will produce great olives for hundreds of years. The quality of the olive depends on the soil and weather during the growing season.
The ripe olives are harvested and taken to the mill as soon as possible after picking.
Giant stone wheels are used to crush the olives into a mash
The mash is spread onto thin mats that are stacked into a press. As pressure is applied, oil and water seep out. No heat is used, hence the term "first cold pressed."
After pressing, if the oil is judged to be excellent, any water is separated out, and the oil is filtered to remove small bits of fruit or pit. Some oils are left unfiltered by preference. At This Stage We Obtain The Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Oils that are judged deficient after the pressing are sent to a refinery where defects in color, taste and aroma are removed by industrial processing without compromising its healthy characteristics.
