This allows us to avoid washing the olives. Washing the olives harms the oil that will be obtained for several reasons: the olive swells with water, the water harms the phenols in the oil, there may be microorganisms that pass through the water to the olives and the oxidation process is accelerated.
It cannot be forgotten that in the autumn, unlike most farmers, we no longer throw chemicals on the tree, in fact, we only throw copper in the spring. Therefore, since the olive appears on the tree, no chemicals are thrown on it. If anyone is afraid that the olives, if not washed, could carry any dirt, they should bear in mind that at the end of the oil extraction process the paste is centrifuged at many revolutions and thus the oil is separated from any impurities that may be present. After harvesting the olives with the vibrator, the olives are transferred to a trailer that has a grid with small holes to sift the olives and remove any small branches and some leaves that may be present.
​
Next we move on to the mill. Here the first step is to separate the olives from the leaves that have remained.
This is done with a blower that makes the leaves fly away and the olives, being heavier, fall. This process is a little dirtier and for this reason we do it in the reception area outside, in front of the mill.
​
Then the olives are taken to the mill. There the first step is to pour them into a knife grinder. This grinds everything and turns it into a paste.
