Olive Pressing season is here. Hopefully you have a pressing time. Don't assume you can just show up with your olives. See Public Olive Mills for a listing of US mills with contact information and information added after publication of this newsletter. Several mills report olives dark on the skin which are nevertheless less ripe than their growers realized. This makes for a different flavored oil and lower yields.
Don't forget that The Olive Press has a community Press day in November - see below. Following is the latest information as of November 1 2005.

It is designed to increase yields, optimize flavors, decrease the bitterness sometimes found in traditional hammermills, and preserve anti-oxidants.

The oil is then passed through centrifuges and transferred to stainless steel tanks without filtering or further processing of any kind. We offer Stone and Blade milling with Centrifugal extraction.
