How to make Olive Oil

Olive Oil is one of the best cooking items. In this essay, I will explain how to make Olive Oil, so that you can see the wonderful wonders of Olives. Have you used Olive Oil?


The first step for making Olive Oil is obviously picking the Olives. The best way people collect Olives is by using big machines to put all the Olives in a big bag. The machines shake the olives off of the trees and they put the bags underneath to collect them. Then they ship them away to Olive Oil factories.

When they get to the factories, the first thing they do is to wash the Olives. The reason they do this is to wash the twigs off so the twigs aren’t in the Oil when it is made. This happens quickly so the Olives are fresh. Then they are put into a grinder, which grinds up all the Olives. If they are grinded too quickly, they will get too hot, which means the oil can't be used.


Next, they are put into a presser, which takes all the Oil out of the ground Olives. The rest of the Olives aren’t wasted, and are used for fertilizer or Animal Feed. When the Oil comes out of the press, the Oil is gold. When the Oil is out of the presser, the Oil goes to a centrifuge, which spins the oil to separate the water from the Oil. After this process, the Oil should be lighter.

The Oil then reaches its final stage. The Oil is first put into dark black or green bottles. The reason the bottles are black is because if the sun get onto the Oil, it will affect the quality of the Oil. Then, the bottles get labelled, put on a conveyor belt, boxed and then get sent away to shops, were people buy the Oil.


As you can see, making Olive Oil is more complicated than most people would think. Now you know how to make Olive Oil. What are your thoughts on the process?
