Olive Oil Mill
The Olive Oil Mill is the space and the set of activities that make the fruit become juice (olive oil).
For us, it is a huge juicer!
As simple and as complex as this.
- Simple because what we need to have at the mill is a big juicer. So it is, the mill equipment has only mechanical means, just like our juicers we have at home to squeeze an orange.
- Complex, because as it happens with other fruits, we must be very careful so that this juice does not deteriorate and lose its properties.
Our fundamental objective in the Olive Oil Mill is to take care of the fruit so that it retains the maximum quality that it had at the same time of picking it from the olive tree, which is where the fruit had its highest quality.
Timing and quality controls and excellence are essential for this to happen.
Olive Oil Mill – Processes
Various processes are carried out in the mill. The reception and triage of the olive, the “yard” work (cleaning, weighing and temporary storage in hoppers), the grinding of the olive, the activities of the room (shaking, squeezing spinning, filtering, decanting), the cellar activities (stored, racked) and packaging activities.
