The worlds finest oil 2012

At last some photos of our oil production
Ten crates of hand picked olives
 
 Transported to the family owned traditional mill
Into one big crate for weighing
Then on their way to the stone wheels that ground them into a paste
The paste is distributed onto round pads that are then put onto the big spikes and placed under pressure in the blue machines, soon the oil starts to pour.  It is cleaned and finally many hours later our faces light up as we see the finished product. 

Our very own, it is every bit as gorgeous as it looks, 40 litres of the finest oil I have ever made/seen/tasted.
