Thinking about making your own olive oil? This guide from The Olive Centre explains what beginners must understand before starting. Budget machines under $10,000 often fail to produce real extra virgin olive oil, which requires proper crushers, malaxers, and decanters. The article covers each stage of extraction, from breaking down olive pits to controlled malaxation and centrifugal separation.
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) owes much of its flavor, nutrition, and shelf life to the way it is extracted. One of the most critical steps in this process is adjusting the decanter centrifuge, a machine that separates oil from olive paste. This article explores how key settings—such as the choice between two-phase or three-phase systems and the differential speed (Dn) between the drum and screw—directly shape the quality of olive oil.
