How I Produce Olive Oil Using My Own Olive Trees

I recently visited my small olive grove to start collecting my olives ready for pressing into fresh olive oil.

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!”

What a nice storyteller you are, David! I enjoyed it as if I were reading a short story or listening to music!

[@imransyed8192]

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

[@placidojr.menaje4067]

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.

[@luiscypher4284]

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, thanks mate! We've just taken on a 700 tree grove in Aus. You've given us some insight as to what we're in for!

I learned so much! What an extensive process. Respect.

[@dianacastillo498]

Wow, I’d sure like to have some of that olive oil! Beautiful

[@tomb8564]

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.

[@stanlevox2291]

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.

[@tomb8564]

@@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.

[@feltingme]

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?

[@TheLazyGuyWay]

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

[@apartmentsmiroslavvojnovic3302]

Like we do in Dalmatia 💚👏. Wishing you great olive harvesting season and liters of extra virgin olive oils 😊👍

[@tiogoala7654]

David, how much olive oil does 100 trees produce? Is it only one bottle as shown in this video? Great video, well done!

[@sayahifahd2494]

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...

[@robynbetteridge]

What a fantastic video 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Dragonheartmomma]

How much olive oil per tree do you get? Or how much olive oil do you get per however many trees u have? That looks like it tastes really good☺️

[@marciamariabressanelli7853]

Wonderful.. Can you tell how much you were charged to press your olives? In the end how much per bottle? Thanks 😊

Did you planted the seeds or the cuttings?

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

[@rhino3677]

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?

Lovely

[@SusanRuleyoutubeacc]

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?

[@daviddomoney]

Hi, I'm UK based but the grove is in Italy. Either zone 9 or 10. I can't remember the exact cost but the weight was about 25kg or 55lbs.

[@allannakhoul1752]

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.

[@andreasstylianou9025]

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

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!

[@DENISBY]

how much it cost

[@paulsinclair3401]

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?

[@andreasstylianou9025]

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

​@@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!
