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.

Despite its modest scale in global olive oil production, Australia continues to play an increasingly strategic role in the global supply chain... thanks to its quality-driven focus and growing domestic appetite for premium extra virgin olive oil.

At harvest time, it’s easy to get swept up in the rush of processing your olives, but remember... the care you take during harvest and processing will show up in your final product. Lab tests provide a window into the quality and authenticity of your olive oil, helping you meet quality standards and identify areas for improvement.

Efficient and high-quality olive oil extraction depends on fine-tuning multiple process variables. Below are critical control points and potential adjustment areas within modern olive oil production systems:

As global extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) production expands into non-traditional regions with varying climates and agroecological conditions, producers are facing a new wave of operational complexities. Join leading agricultural scientist and processing expert Pablo Canamasas as he unpacks the evolving challenges in EVOO extraction and explores strategic solutions tailored for industrial-scale operations. In this exclusive video, you’ll gain insig

Maintaining the cleanliness of your Oliomio olive processing equipment is essential for ensuring hygiene, peak operational performance, and the long-term durability of your machinery. Below is a recommended cleaning procedure for key components of your system:

The study, which focused on the ‘Ortice’ and ‘Ortolana’ olive cultivars, found that this technology achieved a mechanical harvesting yield of approximately 97%, highlighting its potential to significantly enhance productivity and cost-effectiveness in modern olive farming. If you are looking for small-scale olive oil processing machines, olive oil processing machine prices, compact olive oil processing equipment for boutique groves, olive oil ex

For businesses and serious growers considering olive oil extraction, the idea of owning a machine for under $10,000 may seem like an attractive entry point. However, achieving high-quality olive oil requires advanced extraction technology that meets food-grade standards. The extraction process is highly technical, demanding specialised equipment to maintain oil integrity and efficiency. This guide will help you understand the essential components
