Olive Oil Production Process
The Olive Oil Production Process involves a series of carefully orchestrated steps to extract oil from olives while maintaining quality and purity standards. During this process, olives are transformed into the golden liquid that offers numerous health benefits:
-
Harvesting: Ripe olives are handpicked or harvested using machinery.
-
Milling: Olives are crushed to a paste to release the oil.

This meticulous process ensures that the olive oil retains its nutritional value, antioxidants, and distinctive flavor.
