Hello Steemians!
After my post on how harvest olives for olive oil now I' m going to show you how the olive oil is produced by the olives.
First of all the sacks with the olives are transported to the oil mill, they are allowed to a big funnel, then start their transfer to various machines for their processing.
The leaves, small branches and any small woods are removed and the olives are washed.
The clean olives are transported and driven to the crusher, where the olives are crushed and pulp is made.
The pulp is poured in large containers and the mixture is continuously stirred at 20° C, on the surface begins to appear the oil.
Then the pulp is led to a machine called decanter, this machine by centrifuging separates the liquid from the solids, ie the oil from the olive kernel.
Afterwards, these liquids are driven to other centrifugal machines, which by adding water separate the pure olive oil.
The olive oil is then placed in a container and then in transport barrelrs, weighed and transported to our stainless steel containers and is ready for our food.
See the process better in the video I taked.

20C - Is that considered "cold pressed"?
And how much different was the process in the "old days", before electric machinery?

Exactly it's "cold pressed" for a better quality.
This is very interesting but I did not live this time.
I've seen only some handmade machines in old oil mills.
What I know is that the process was the same, just as today's electric machines, replaced them with hand-held machines that were human-or-animal driven.
I recently learned that it still works, an old oil mill with the old way of producing olive oil.

I can still feel the smell of the seeds crushing and essences that are extracted from the olives at my nostrils. The smell is so heavy.

This smell is the compensation of tiredness from the harvest and it is more intense when the seeds are unripe.

Good post! Do you also have any information if they use the olive kernel or olive cake for other purposes?

Yes the olive kernel is used for the kernel oil which is not for foods must be mixed with fresh olive oil to be for foods and is used mainly for frying.
Also the olive kernel is used as a combustion material in heat-generating burners.

You have point.
I think the marble press is done the oldest years.
Thank you for your labels.

Τι ωραία παρουσίαση, πραγματικά μας χρειάζονται τέτοιες εικόνες για να θυμηθούμε πως το λάδι παράγετε έτσι και όχι στα ράφια του σούπερ μάρκετ...

The olive oil wants a lot of effort to harvest and process and its high nutritional value makes it a luxury in the non-cultivated countries.

Great lifestyle, close to the earth. Olive oil has been an integral part of human life for thousands of years; it is a gift from God, the olive.
