GRINDING AND PRESSING
Today olive oil is still very similarly gained as it has been gained since thousands of years.
The production method consists in grinding the olives, stirring or kneading the paste and finally gaining the oil through pressing.
The pulps and the stone can be crushed in the mill by the granite millstones or by more modern and faster olive presses made up of hammers.
Through the kneading the paste is gently stirred in order to break the emulsions of oil and water that are formed while grinding. This will help the final pressing.
