Olive Oil Extraction

Olive oil extraction begins with harvesting healthy olives, which are then washed and crushed into a paste. This paste is gently churned or malaxed to allow oil droplets to concentrate, while avoiding heat that could affect quality. The mixture is then pressed or spun in a centrifuge to separate the oil from water and solid bits. The resulting liquid is filtered to produce pure, extra virgin, or virgin olive oil, preserving its rich flavor and beneficial properties. This process emphasizes minimal processing to maintain the oil’s quality, aroma, and nutritional value.
