The diagram illustrates the various stages involved in the production of olive oil
Overall, the process consists of 7 main stages, beginning with olive collection and ending with distributing the olive oil for storage and sale
The process starts when olives are gathered from olive trees. These olives are then subjected to a process called rinsing with cold water to remove any dust. After that, the cleaned olives are transported through a belt to the smashing machine, where they are crushed and separated into olive paste and olive stone. Once this stage is complete, the paste is put into special bags that have holes.
In the next stage, the bags are pressed to extract the liquid from the paste. The mixture, which contains water and oil, is then separated by using separating systems. Finally, the pure olive oil is ready for packaging, storage and sale. This detailed process ensures that raw olive is carefully transformed into high-quality olive oil products.
