The image illustrates the process of olive oil manufacturing.
In general, the production of olive oil primarily relies on machinery and simple tools. The process consists of seven steps, beginning with picking olives from the trees and culminating in the oil being placed in stores for consumers to purchase.
The main ingredient is olives, which farmers collect in baskets and wash in cold water. After washing, the olives are transferred onto a conveyor belt that leads to a tank for crushing. This step results in two by-products: olive paste, which is used to produce the oil, and olive pits, which are discarded.
The olive paste is then placed into specially designed bags with numerous holes, which are subsequently fed into a pressing machine. This is followed by a step that separates any excess water from the oil. Finally, the oil is packaged and delivered to stores for sale, allowing the cycle to begin anew.
