Process
The given diagram depicts the stages of olive oil production
Overall, it can be seen that olive production is a relatively complex process. The process consists of seven stages beginning with picking and ending with distributing the olive oil for storage and sale.
To start with, olives are picked from the olive trees. After that, the fresh olives are washed in cold water and rinsed several times until they are adequately clean. Then the olives are put on a belt before being put in a smashing device in which they are smashed and separated into olive stones and olive paste.
In the fourth stage, the olive pasta is placed in a pressing apparatus where it is pressed to get the maximum possible liquid. In the sixth step, this liquid is put in another separating device in which it is separated into oil and water. The water and oil come out through separate outlets. Finally, the oil is bottled for storage and later distribution in the market.**
