Oil mill

Our company oil mill consists of a state-of-the-art processing system (Mori-Tem Toscana Enologica Mori) whose main objective is COLD EXTRACTION, constant cleaning, and the absence of oxygen during processing, which allows us to obtain a product of high quality.

The plant is divided into:

EXTERNAL AREA which includes

HOPPER/DEBRANCHER/DEFOLIATOR where the olives arriving from our fields are first cleaned of any branches, soil, or leaves
WASHER/DRYER the olives are washed and dried before crushing
CRUSHING by blades, the olives are transformed into pulp and then pass through a cooling pipe to lower the temperature of the paste before reaching the malaxers

INTERNAL AREA which includes

VERTICAL MALAXERS where the paste is kneaded for about 10/15 minutes in the absence of oxygen and at low temperatures
DECANTER where the paste ready for extraction, by centrifugal force, is separated obtaining oil and wet pomace
SEPARATOR by centrifugal force divides and removes all the vegetation water particles from the oil coming from the decanter
FILTER all our oil is filtered immediately after extraction

STORAGE

Our oil is stored in silos under nitrogen in a room with a constant temperature of around 15°C.
