The Essence of Olive Oil Production Facilities
Olive oil production is integral to crafting premium olive oil. A production factory serves as the pivotal point where olives are processed into the edible oil we all enjoy.
Contrary to the common belief that olive oil production is straightforward, it requires significant effort to transition from having ripe olives on the trees to holding a bottle of the finished product. Let’s explore the intricate olive oil production process.
Olive Oil Production Process: A Closer Look
Producing olive oil is an intricate endeavor, broken down into three primary stages: harvesting, milling, and refining.
Harvesting
The journey begins with the harvesting of olive trees, typically done biennially to ensure optimal fruit production and quality. The method of harvesting—whether by hand or machine—depends on the scale of the operation.
Milling
Following harvesting is the milling phase, where olives are depitted and ground into a paste known as "pomace." This paste is then pressed to extract oil, which, unless further refined through chemical treatments or heat, becomes the olive oil we use.
Refinement Process
The oil undergoes several stages from production, including separation in continuous systems without human intervention, purification through hygienic filters, and storage in stainless steel tanks. Our extensive experience allows us to package the oil using filling machines, preparing it for consumption in a seamless, turnkey operation.
Cost of Setting Up an Olive Oil Production Facility in 2023
The investment required for an olive oil production facility varies based on the chosen equipment and the necessary operational space. On average, costs range from $500,000 to $3 million, covering equipment and construction expenses. These estimates may adjust based on your project's scope, providing a general idea of the expected investment for 2023.
