Jeanne Louise Calment (21 February 1875 - 4 August 1997) lived to be over 122 years of age! She stated her health regime was to have two teaspoons of olive oil a day. She took one orally, and used the other as a skin lotion and she “only has one wrinkle, and I’m sitting on it!”
As somebody who harvests trees in Kalamata for Kalamata olive oil, I found the system interesting in Italy, though I would always be first in the press, while everything is still cold, so that I can have my olives cold pressed. I end up with slightly less oil per kilo of olives, but the oil is much richer and tastier. Also, I'd be interested to know how much oil you get for each 50 kilo sack of olives?
Really interesting thank you. Such a romantic process. I can see the joy and pride in his face when he shows his bottle of oil against his trees. Well done
Fascinating process. Beautiful trees. I am just wondering, if this would be considered cold pressed if it uses boiling water during separation process? Is there a way to make it cold pressed yourself?
Cold pressed is cold pressed. The hot water does not alter the olive oil, he could've done his own pressed olive oil but it is a labour intensive process at a small scale and it makes local factories alive
Hopefully my 125 olives are gonna make it to harvest this year. For processing, I grind with big new garbage disposer. It heats up and stops unless I add water, but works pretty good. Then I use an electric ice cream maker to malox the mashed 45-60 minutes. It is put on a slightly ramped sheet of stainless steel and drains pure, clear evo., while waiting to load the mats for pressing. I am currently building new, larger processing plant. This year there is good fruit set and now the desiccating summer is here Before the monsoons. I have only enough water to give four to six gallons per week to each tree. Hopefully (as in prayer) monsoons will come this year. Without monsoon the olives get shrivelled on the tree. The past many several years of wind, drought, freezes, and me have resulted in 99% failure. 1% I learned something about trees, and myself. Yep, faith and miracles.
I've seen in regular tree gardening, not olives. But the pounding a PVC pipe into the ground closer to the roots and then pouring the water in a couple of pipes hammered into the ground to prevent evaporation.
@@stanlevox2291 Yes, Season 2023 I buried the drip system with only emitter above ground because animals were chewing the pipes. This was very successful. The crop load was heavy, but shriveled beyond use. I got about two ounces of beautiful oil. So, by October I saw the trees were in very good shape, but not the olives. So next bloom I intend to trim off at least half of them, giving the trees a better chance to sustain the fruit. No monsoons in 2023. Still no rain, but maybe next week it will. This year, I think I will bury the emitters in the pipe, it is difficult to maintain them that way though. Also, I think I am going to sell off some trees. Thanks for your interest.
Hi Tiogo, here in tunisia, we get from our own olive trees (my family farm) around 3.5 litres of oil from 15kg ofolives. You do the maths 😅. That depends of the tree variety and if it was well cultivated...
I really loved to watch this video, thanks for posting. I'm Italian and it makes me so proud to see that we share the same love for Olio d'oliva extravergine 😊
Great video I bought a house in greece that has 25 olive trees and I want to make olives for eating but also want to make some oil so this was a great video to watch
Thank you for the vid! I have 70 trees on the property I just moved to & plan on participating in a community mill day. How many days in advanced can I begin harvesting olives? (I have ample refrigeration to prevent fruit fly maturation). I don't have any machinery nor many people to help me, so I imagine I'll be picking for a few days.
Thank you so much for making this video my friend it’s beautiful. I love olive oil oil and all of its medicinal properties and it taste delicious. Thank you.❤
Thank you so much, David. The processing is awesome to behold! It encourages me to go to the olive farms, visit the processing machines, and taste the pure and newly extracted olive oil! It is plain to see however that the olive oil sold in grocery stores looks "refined" already---it does not look like lightly textured honey anymore as you presented it in this video.
Thank you. But I wonder how the final stage was accomplished in the old days when they did not have centrifugal separators. And did they also use boiling water in that processing stage (so much for "cold pressed", eh}?
I think it would be fun to design an easier machine or process to turn the olives to olive oil with less steps to provide relief to the workers without sacrificing quality of the oil. 😊

Light upon light. Allāh guides to His light whom He wills. And Allāh presents examples for the people, and Allāh is Knowing of all things. An-Nur 35
One mistake: The oil is lighter than water, not heavier. Before the days of centrifuge, they separate oil from water by skimming the top in a retention /separation container.
Step 1: tree. Okay i can do that Step 2: harvesting. Okay i can do that so far pretty simple Step 3: factory...? Step 4: i close the video and take several steps away 🚶♂️ Cool video though
Great Video. Questions. How many kg of olives do you get out of your 100 olive trees? How much oil do you get out of that? When they grind of the "stone" is that a seed oil now? Can you also use those olives for eating?
Please, i have intention in the furure to have a olivefield to produce olives in Marocco. ( with mu Maroccon husband) . Can you give some advice? What is the budget? Is there something i can read or see to learn about it? Thank yoy very much.
That's not a good Olive oil, it can be traditional but not good, when adding the boiling water the goodness in the nutrition componentes are "burned" and wasted, loosing then most of them and turning the oil yellow. Cold pressed Olive oil not letting the process paste going above 30°c its the way, then you get the most out of the nutritional components, getting a green Olive oil not "burned" and increasing your health overall.
Instead of growing wood and folag e can an olive tree be grown like an espailer like grapes to yield more vegtable instead of wood and folage like japenesse indoor factories.?
I have a 200 tree olive farm in Spain and last year I got 350kg fresh olives the year before I got 4 tons fresh olives. It depends upon climate, rainfall and pruning.. likewise the amount of oil per kg changes depending upon climate conditions, time of harvesting, type of pressing process I.e. a commercial mill will get a greater yield than a smaller hand or hydraulic ‘home’ process 💁 I have a film on my channel that gives our ratios and the cost of setup if you’re interested further.
Awesome video, I enjoyed it immensely! I have two questions, 1. Where do you live? What is the plant hardiness zone that you are in and 2. Once in that large bin, how much did your olives weigh and how much did it cost to process that amount of olives?
The extra virgin oil we buy in groceries are very comercialized. They look the same color to the one you compared. Your freshly cold compressed olives are more densed, cloudly and I think peppery. Yours is the best. Wow!
@@daviddomoney Thanks for the reply! Looking up olive trees & trying to make sense of things 🙂 -You mentioned it was ~100 trees: are all of them getting harvested? -Would you be able to share the weight of raw olives provided, to the oil producer? Online sources seem to be saying: "1 tree = 1 litre of oil" (and vastly more) - so I don't know if they're blowing smoke, if you don't harvest all trees, if the producer takes a cut of oil produced, etc 🙂. -Thanks in advance!
@@averagemoe7879 oops - late reply, but definitely much appreciated! 🙂 maybe in 3 years i can start growing my own trees & have olive trees be part of the picture 😂
Great video thanks for posting. It would be interesting to know the figures, for example how much did the crate wiegh and how much oil was produced from that wieght👍
Lovely video and getting the 1st taste of your own Olive Oil is special!!! I am new to Olive Tree management Do you by any chance have a video , about how to prune olive trees And I live in northern Italy, near Imperia When is the best time to prune my olive trees. Very kind regards
Mr David , could please make a video explaning in details what do you fertilise the olive trees , is it organic fertilizers or mix of manure , organic and some chemical fertilizer ?? lots of farmers witt appreciate if u could make it 🌿

Depend on the year-weather and type of tree. Big olives produce less oil. Good if you get 10 liters for 50 kilos.

...in that process, centrifugal force separates the olive-oil from the water because water is HEAVIER than olive-oil, NOT the other way around!
That little moan at the end when you smell it warms the soul ❤
Really enjoyed this video, what a great presenter !!
Great video I bought a house in greece that has 25 olive trees and I want to make olives for eating but also want to make some oil so this was a great video to watch
Wow, seeing the whole process from tree to bottle is amazing! Your passion really shines through. Thanks for sharing such a personal journey! 🌳🍈
Wow, I’d sure like to have some of that olive oil! Beautiful

If u have a walk-in refrigeration do it, is good. Take them for press once a week, once every two. Mill day?

Are the seeds somehow taken out before the process? WOW! I wish I could help make the oil.

Thank you for the nice explanation. We have olive oil trees but not extracting oil.
So cold pressed but heated afterwards o almost water's boiling point before being separated?
Like we do in Dalmatia 💚👏. Wishing you great olive harvesting season and liters of extra virgin olive oils 😊👍
is the oil realy heavyer than water? (in the process parting oil from water).....
ngl that electric rake was terrifying XD Imagine someone chasing you with that
❤❤❤ Can you share the address of this place. I would like to visit and taste the fresh oilve oil and by few bottles from this farm.
At the end it gets mixed with boiling water, now that is where your oil looses its virginity. Cold press means cold press
