The traditional hydraulic pressure extraction method is no longer able to meet the quality, hygiene and safety requirements of modern oil extraction technology. For this reason a new centrifugation method was devised, which is taking the place of traditional machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brief comparison between the two processes can explain how the final product is affected.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

CRUSHING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After discarding the larger twigs, the olives go in the molazza (millstone), where two large granite wheels crush and mix them, producing olive paste.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

OIL EXTRACTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The olive paste is placed on discs of woven nylon fibres, called fiscoli, with a dispensing machine. Then, the fiscoli are placed in a powerful hydraulic press which allows the extraction of the oil and the vegetation water from the pomace.<\/p>\n<\/div>

CENTRIFUGATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While traditionally oil was separated from the vegetation water by decantation, today centrifuges are used even in pressure systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

LEAF REMOVAL AND WASHING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olives are cleaned from twigs and leaves by suction, as they would otherwise give the oil an unpleasant bitter taste. The olives are then washed to get rid of soil and other impurities.<\/p>\n<\/div>

CRUSHING AND MALAXING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clean olives go in a powerful centrifuge that turns them into a smooth paste.
In the following phase, called malaxation, the oil particles combine into bigger droplets, preparing the paste for the next phase \u2013 oil separation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

CENTRIFUGATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paste goes in a horizontal centrifuge, or decanter, which divides the oil from the pomace and the vegetation water. It will then pass through a second centrifuge, which dries it further, ensuring a better preservation of the product.<\/p>\n<\/div>
