of the olives. Olives are hand picked from the olive tree and directly
transported in boxes so that they do not suffer any damage. Olives
are cleaned of remains of dirt.

Immediately
after olives are weighted, taken to the storage silos and afterwards
they are ground by granite stones.

In
the interior of the Oliflix house we find the heart of our craftsmanship,
the Granite Mill, the basic principle in our elaboration
of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cool Pressed of maximum
quality.
-
When
olives have been ground by the granite stones, they are emptied
into a receptical for the olive bulk.

From
the first pressing in cold we have the first olive juice, the EXTRA
VIRGIN OLIVE OIL.

The Oily Must that comes from the press goes to these deposit
wells.
-
This
liquid is made up of vegetable water from the olive itself (alpechin)
and oil. They are separated due to the difference in density:
Oil 0,916 / Alpechin 1,052
The result is that the oil floats because it is lighter and
water stays at the bottom. This is due to the difference in density.
- Experiment: We will need ½ glass of water and some oil. In the glass
of water we add some oil, enough oil to cover all the surface. We
will try to mix them using a small spoon and stirring well. Once
this is done, let the mixture go down and see how the oil and the
water separate completely.
