: Olive Oil Production

: Bilinmiyor

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."
