Olive oil extraction

Olive oil extraction is the process of taking the oil out of the olives. It starts by picking the olives from the tree and then washing them to get rid of any dirt or leaves.

Next, the olives are crushed into a paste using machines that squish them. Then, the paste is mixed and stirred to help separate the oil from the rest of the paste. The oil floats to the top and the other stuff sinks to the bottom.

After that, the oil is separated from the paste by pressing it. This is like squishing a sponge to get water out. The oil is then filtered to get rid of any leftover pieces of the paste.

Finally, the olive oil is stored in bottles or containers and is ready to be used for cooking or eating.
