Environment Oil production and sale virgin Olive Virgin Catalunya Tarragona Flix

In Oliflix we promote an ecological environment because ecological farming means that producers must respect and protect the environment also.
In the elaboration of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, besides the oil, we also obtain the “orujo” (the paste of the olives after pressing). Part of the “orujo” is used to heat the rooms and to obtain warm water (it is the BIOMASS), and the rest of the “orujo” is sent to other companies that extract oil from the “orujo”
The “alpechin” which is the vegetable water from the olive itself, is a very pollutant by-product for the acuifer systems due to its high content in organic matter. See the organic fraction in Appendix 1 and see the main components of the mineral fraction in Appendix 2.
In our programme for promoting the environment the “alpechin” is used as an organic fertilizer for sunflower, corn, barley and olive tree farms.
