·Our Mill

The word almazara stems from arabic and signifies "place where the olive is squeezed". From this process olive oil is mainly obtained.

The olive is received in the yard and deposited in a hopper. From the hopper they pass to the cleaning line where the dirt is removed (leaves, earth). From here, once weighed, they pass to the grinding line inside the mill. During this process the olive is ground, beaten and the oil extracted (centrifuges) from the pulp by density (two-phase system).

In some mills, before grinding, the stone is separated from the olive.

The higher quality olive oil is obtained directly from the olives by means of mechanised methods. Later the oil is decanted into decantation tanks and stored in a warehouse. The tanks, for the good quality of the oil, are stainless steal, easily cleanable with a tilted or conical base to assist with the filtering of impurities.
