The company we visited is located in a small town in the south of Sicily. In this area there are many olive trees and there is a great production of olive oil.

The Italian team is going to show you all the steps to produce olive oil, that is one of the main productions of our land and it is well known all over the world for its superb taste.

Olives

Olives are harvested in the autumn and winter. Green olives are picked at the end of September to about the middle of November. Blond olives are picked from the middle of October to the end of November and Black olives are collected from the middle of November to the end of January or early February. Most olives today are harvested by shaking the boughs or the whole tree. Another method involves standing on a ladder and "milking" the olives into a sack tied around the harvester's waist. Another method uses an electric tool, the “oliviera”, that has large tongs that spin around quickly, removing the fruit from the tree.

Olive oil

Olive oil is a fruit oil obtained from the olive (Olea europaea; family Oleaceae), a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin. It is commonly used in cooking, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soaps and as a fuel for traditional oil lamps.

Olive oil is used throughout the world, but especially in the Mediterranean.Over 750 million olive trees are cultivated worldwide, 95% of which are in the Mediterranean region.

First step of the production

The oil production starts here, in this machine called “tramolina di carico”, where the olives are put inside. They go through the machine and into a wagon.

Page 8: Oil olive production

Second step

This is the wagon that carries the olives to another special machine in order to clean them from their leaves.

Page 9: Oil olive production

Third step

Here the olives are washed with jets of warm water and sent to a machine called “tranciatore a martello” where a hammer crashes the stones of the olives.

Page 10: Oil olive production

Fourth step

Through steel pipes the olives are sent in the “coclea”, where a turning spiral smashes them creating a paste.

Page 11: Oil olive production

Fifth step

This machine is called “Decanter” or separator with orizontal axis. It separates the oil in two parts: the oil that still contains water from olive residues.

This is a separator with vertical axis that separates the good oil from the water it contains.

Containers

These are steel containers that perserve the oil produced by the company.

These containers are used to perserve the olives

This is an old oil millstone, used in the past to crash olives.

TEN RULES FOR GOOD OLIVE OIL

Feed the plant every year and cut lightly every two years, before olives start growing

Do the necessary chemical treatments to obtain good olives After treatments, wait for the right length of time before

picking them up Pick up the olives when they reach the 50% of maturity, that is

when half of them becomes violet in colour Avoid olive damage while picking them up Don’t pick olives from the ground Use wooden boxes to transport them Press olives within 48 hours since their harvesting Press olives with a small amount of water at low temperature Save oil in steel containers in a cool place
