How Olive Oil is Made

Olive season typically runs from October to early January. We catch the tail end of the olives this year...  After picking and pruning the olive trees the olives are transported to the local olive press. In ideal circumstances 100 kilos of olives will yield 20 kilos of olive oil.  Typically the press will take 10-12% of the oil as their fee.
