The diagram illustrates the process of producing olive oil from olives.
Overall, the olive oil production process consists of seven consecutive stages. This process begins with the harvesting of olives and ends with the sale of the finished olive oil.
The first step is to pick the olives from the trees. After that, the olives are cleaned and washed with cold water. During this process, the dust and dirt on the olives are removed. Once this stage is completed, the olives are crushed using a special machine, which produces olive paste and separates the olive stones.
In the next stage, the olive paste is placed in bags with small holes. After that, these bags are pressed, and liquid is extracted from them. This liquid contains both oil and water. Then, the oil is separated from the water in a special machine.
Finally, the finished olive oil is stored in containers and then sold in shops.
