  • Spain produces roughly half of the world’s olive oil. Most of that comes from a single cooperative in the south of the country, where 75,000 families work together to farm their groves. In 2022, Europe experienced its worst drought in 500 years, making it tougher for these farmers to grow the olives they need.

      That's the old method, vareado (from vara, long stick).
      The new method, the machine, a belt attached to a reciprocating engine goes round the tree trunk and shakes the hell out of it. If you have seen those "fat loss" machines that shake the belly, same idea. The whole tree, down to the roots, undergoes it's own personal earthshake.
      And yeah, that tree pretty much owes them cash, In the shape of olives.

    In my understanding, black (ripe) olives produce more oil per olive, but with less flavor. Green (unripe) olives are much more flavorful, but produce much less oil per olive. Oil from green olives is better to eat 'raw', on salads, etc. Oil from black olives is much cheaper, good for cooking, less complex flavors. Different varietals of olives may be better for oil, others for snacking on. Some are good for both.

    • @josemiguelmunoz6985
      @josemiguelmunoz6985 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      Yes, you are right.
      Keep in mind that we, the olive farmers, look for a optimum oil rate. The perfect oil rate with ripe olives would be 20-25%. If you harvest unripe olives you get a lower rate but the oil has an amazing quality. The olive oils from the green olives of "Picudo" variety is one of the best delicacies in the world but is also very expensive beacause of the harvesting method used in order to not damage the olive tree.
      For an optimum tasting remember to use unfiltered extra virgin olive oil from unripe olives (the first oil of the season) for raw use and filtered virgin olive oil for cooking, bakery, frying, etc.

    I think this video fails to address the fact that, even though it's one of the biggest producers and exporters, it's not for direct consumption. Most of these pure oils will be taken to other countries, where it's downmixed with some local oils to make the product as made in that other country.

    DCOOP screws the olive growers in their monopolistic plan on the market. A plan that consists of selling as much oil as possible even if it means doing so at very low prices and that now requires exclusivity from producers, even if they are not willing to pay them a premium.

      ¿Será posible que parte de su producción, la destinen a producir lotes de aceite de mayor calidad? Sé que en el caso del cava (vino espumante como el champagne) los grandes productores tenían un cartel, pero algunas familias y masías se rebelaron y empezaron a producir de esta forma, y hasta ahora les ha ido bien en el mercado domestico y el internacional. Incluso del prosecco, vino similar de Italia pero de menor calidad* han hecho así y aumentado sus ventas vertiginosamente, sobre todo en USA. Pero pasa que los productores mantienen un pensamiento campesino, mas autentico, pero rústico, y no tienen esa visión, que si tienen los grandes monopolios y su marketing, que busca ganancias cuantiosas pero pagando lo menos posible al productor.

En la zona sur de la provincia se encuentran las Sierras Subbéticas con una producción aproximada de 85.000 toneladas de aceite. Dentro de esta zona destaca la "Denominación de Origen Priego de Córdoba", que es donde se produce, con mucha diferencia, el mejor aceite, resultando todos los años ganador de casi todos los mejores premios internacionales.
      Todo el aceite de esta zona se comercializa y se exporta con la certificación de calidad que da la Denominación de Origen Priego de Córdoba.
      Hay que diferenciar entre el aceite que se produce a principios y durante el resto de la temporada. El primer aceite de la temporada se obtiene de aceitunas verdes y tiene un sabor tan intenso que no a todos gusta (a mí me encanta). Es verde y turbio y tiene una gran cantidad de aromas y matices. Este aceite de suele envasar sin filtrar. El problema del aceite sin filtrar es que lo sedimentos que decantan en el fondo del envase pueden fermentarse echando a perder la totalidad del aceite, debiendo consumirse en un plazo no superior a 3 o 4 meses. De ahí su dificultad para la exportación. El resto del aceite de la campaña, al ser extraído de aceituna madura, no es tan fuerte y resulta más dulce al paladar, siendo también un aceite de la más alta calidad.
      Por supuesto estamos hablando de Aceite de Oliva Virgen Extra, extraído por primera presión en frío, de forma totalmente mecánica y sin agentes químicos, ni mezclas de ningún tipo.

    Id just like to say that
    1. Drought won't kill olive trees that easily, these trees are built to survive in dry ecosystems.
    2. Too much water can negatively impact the quality of olives also.
    3. Even if you get the water, soil quality and pruning down right, you will still end up with varying returns on the crop year on year. That's just the nature of the game.

    I love using olive oil on the regular but I think this is another testament that we should consider reverting our diets to a more locally regional list of goods. While a boom in business is initially great for these producers, the global food exchange contributes to climate change, ultimately negatively effecting their crop yields. Sourcing our diet regionally is much more sustainable in the long run.

      Hey John. You don't need to buy from the farms. Just find a spanish store and buy the olive oil online (make sure the olive oil is extra virgin, not refined). Find the most common brands in Spain and buy some bottles.
      How do you know it's good stuff? Easy, just stop buying things with an italian flag or name. Italy never meant quality... At least here. That's just the image they sell to your country, but they perfeclty can be bottling dog pee and putting an italian flag on it.

      There is a brand from the south of the province of Córdoba named MUELOLIVA which produces high quality olive oil and exports to the US. I use to sell them a part of my harvest.
      Buy only extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) from the provinces of Córdoba or Jaén and try to avoid brands like Carbonell, La Masia or DCOOP.
      Never buy Italian olive oil. The quality of the commecial Italian olive oil is one of the worst in the world.
