Micronised Mineral Talc

To aid the processing of high-moisture olive batches

How talc works:
When applied during the malaxing stage talc helps to absorb the extra moisture in the paste, allowing it to knead better and therefore extracting more oil.
The Talc then exits with the waste, without leaving any traces in the final oil.

Does not contain Quartz

2 types of talc are currently available

K40 Talc:
