The Arbequina olive tree has medium-low vigor, open posture, medium density, early ripening, difficult shedding of thin and flexible branches, high productivity, good regularity, and medium-low oil yield.<\/p>\n<p>The leaves of olive trees are evergreen and cover the entire surface. They live for about 2-3 years and fall off in spring, making way for new leaves. They are somewhat narrow, 1-3 cm wide and 4-10 cm long; lanceolate with slightly pointed tips, entire, leathery, glabrous; dark gray-green on the upper surface, and paler and densely scaly on the underside (due to a significant pubescence that protects them from the cold); with very short petioles, smooth edges, and sunken stomata, allowing them to reduce water loss.<\/p>\n<p>The flowers are hermaphroditic or male, small, with a calyx of four sepals and a corolla of four white petals, two yellow stamens, arranged in long clusters in the leaf axils of the wood, and they have a pleasant aroma.

Since the olive tree is an angiosperm plant, it blooms between June and August, and is pollinated by insects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 -ml-1 h-7 visible\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 text-xs\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pr-2 lg:pr-0\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"AIPRM__sidebar-icon\" class=\"AIPRM__p-2 AIPRM__top-12 md:AIPRM__top-2 AIPRM__p-2 AIPRM__items-center AIPRM__transition-colors AIPRM__duration-200 AIPRM__cursor-pointer AIPRM__text-sm AIPRM__rounded-md AIPRM__border AIPRM__bg-white dark:AIPRM__bg-gray-900 AIPRM__border-black\/10 dark:AIPRM__border-white\/20 hover:AIPRM__bg-gray-50 dark:hover:AIPRM__bg-gray-850 AIPRM__cursor-pointer AIPRM__fixed AIPRM__right-4 AIPRM__z-30\" title=\"Open AIPRM sidebar\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1462px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; transform_scale=&#8221;84%|84%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||6px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-gemms-1n7m0yu\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-9\">\n<div class=\"w-full text-token-text-primary sm:AIPRM__conversation__response\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-39\">\n<div class=\"px-4 py-2 justify-center text-base md:gap-6 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-1 text-base mx-auto gap-3 md:px-5 lg:px-1 xl:px-5 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem] group final-completion\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"646bf0c1-70b6-4a7f-848f-8a39363e19a8\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light AIPRM__conversation__response\">\n<h2>NUTRITION<\/h2>\n<p>Our olive trees are nourished and cared for with special attention, and we provide them with the appropriate amount of nutrients that they cannot obtain naturally and must consume throughout their vegetative cycle, according to soil fertility and its physicochemical characteristics, and the nutrient reserves contained in the stems and old leaves.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, we establish a rational fertilization program, using fertilizers with different nutrient concentrations, according to the nutritional needs and the absorption rate throughout the various vegetative phases of the olive tree.<\/p>\n<p>Previous soil and foliar analyses provide us with a reference regarding the nutritional status of the olive grove, which is highly valid as a guide for calculating fertilization.

It is called &#8220;early harvesting&#8221; and does not mean that it is harvested prematurely, but rather in the early phase of its ripening. We only collect fresh and healthy flying olives (never from the ground) and using modern and fast harvesting equipment, by specialized personnel.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the area of the olive grove and the ripening stage of the olives, we combine different harvesting systems, classified according to their complexity and productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Some batches are harvested by hand, directly from the tree (they do not damage the fruit or the tree) and are allowed to fall onto a mesh placed on the ground to then be emptied into trailers (a very slow and costly process). Some batches are harvested using beating with a comb, which are mechanized rods with a comb or fine rake at the end. But the majority of the olives are harvested with buggies or tractors with a vibrating arm that attaches to the branches and trunks of the olive trees to make them vibrate until they fall onto a large collecting umbrella, spread out previously under the perimeter of the olive tree (they are highly maneuverable, quality, effective, and productive) And for the part of the olive grove planted in super-intensive, we use a harvester.<\/p>\n<p>We follow the strict rules, protocols, and guidelines of our field and mill management body, controlling each batch according to the ripeness and health of the olives, and the harvest hours (not in high temperatures and if it does not rain).<\/p>\n<p>We avoid delays in harvesting so that the olives do not lose their health and thus the quality of the oil we extract.<\/p>\n<p>We conduct thorough control of each harvested batch, to monitor traceability.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5036 alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/olivapalacios.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aceitunas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;2 &#8211; TRANSPORT AND RECEPTION&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Once harvested, the olives are transported quickly and in small quantities to the mill to maintain their freshness.<\/p>\n<p>We must prevent them from fermenting, oxidizing naturally due to stacking in trailers, or due to high temperatures, causing them to lose aromatic, flavor, or nutritional properties, which would result in unpleasant odors reflected in the oil produced (it would be &#8220;rancid&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the time elapsed between the olive harvest and its deposit in the mill is crucial: within an hour, we have the olives ready for oil extraction.<\/p>\n<p>The olive, upon harvesting and as time passes, under the sun and potential heat, and through the intrinsic fermentation process, increases a few degrees in temperature. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to unload them quickly, avoid stacking them for too long, and start the milling process as soon as possible (this also helps prevent the proliferation of any potential bacteria, as they thrive better at higher temperatures).<\/p>\n<p>The harvested olives are deposited in the reception yard. Ours is covered to avoid direct sunlight and better control external temperature changes.<\/p>\n<p>In the control booth, specialized technical personnel verify their quality, uniform ripening, and healthiness once again. We unload the olives into a hopper that, through regulatory food conveyor belts (white, not rubber), passes them through a mechanical blowing system to remove branches and leaves.<\/p>\n<p>The branches and leaves are deposited in separate hoppers for reuse as compost. The clean olives continue along the conveyor belts to the scale, where they are weighed, and the inputs are recorded in batches to control traceability (all at a speed that prevents stacking). From here, they continue along the conveyor belts to the mill.<\/p>\n<p>The time elapsed from olive harvesting to entering the mill does not exceed half an hour.<\/p>\n<p>We believe it&#8217;s not necessary to wash the olives. They come directly from the olive tree and are carefully maintained in terms of hygiene and preservation state. Therefore, we don&#8217;t see it as necessary (also, we don&#8217;t want to add more water to the process, as it would alter the sensory result).<\/p>\n<p>Our annual\/seasonal olive processing (milling) capacity is up to 3,500 kg\/h \/ 2,000,000 kg.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5036 alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/olivapalacios.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Aceitunas-suelo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;3 and 4 &#8211; GRINDING AND BEATING&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The mill is responsible for crushing the olives. We use a hammer mill, where we regulate the size of the sieve to be used, depending on the batch of olives being processed, and the speed, as we grind at a low speed to avoid increasing the temperature of the olives.<\/p>\n<p>The contents of the mill are transferred to the mixer through a food-grade pipe.<\/p>\n<p>The mixer is a double vertical, cylindrical drum, made of food-grade stainless steel. Inside, it has helical blades that slowly and continuously stir the broken olives from the mill, turning them into a homogeneous paste. The inner drum is surrounded by a jacket (a network of pipes) through which water circulates at a variable temperature to cool the outer drum, keeping the paste inside below 27\u00ba C (low temperature).<\/p>\n<p>This paste has no contact with the outside or direct oxygen, to preserve as many volatile compounds as possible and balance the bitter and pungent notes. It&#8217;s an anti-oxidative mixing process.<\/p>\n<p>During the mixing period, the oil\/water emulsion is broken and oil vacuoles (small oil molecules that become droplets) are generated.

On the other: the vegetation water (typical of the olive) and the remains of dry mass (skin, flesh, and bone). It is the pomace: husk + pulp.<\/p>\n<p>It is, therefore, a two-phase, biphasic system. Horizontal Centrifuge (biphasic): by centrifugal force in the paste, concentric rings are created, taking advantage of the high rotation speed and the different specific weight of the parts to be separated, i.e., by their densities.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, without oxygen, the decanter accumulates the pomace in the tapered part of the cylinder, the outer part of the rings, and through a valve it exits to the exterior.

To obtain oil free of natural residues, we do not allow pomace to pass through the diaphragm; and we allow a little oil to pass through the pomace tube.<\/p>\n<p>We treat the pomace again with a depitter.<\/p>\n<p>Through a mechanized system by centrifugal force, the stone (possibly some skin) is separated from the rest of the olive skin and flesh. It is blown and left to dry, manually moving it with shovels occasionally so that natural fermentation does not increase the interior temperature and cause a fire. Once dry, a large part of the stone is used in the mill as fuel for the boiler and a smaller part is sold to third parties. The rest of the pomace is sold immediately to those companies that centrifuge it again to extract all the possible oil (to produce crude pomace oil) and whatever may remain of the stone (to produce fuel).<\/p>\n<p>About the extracted oil, it is worth mentioning that the achieved aroma and color are pleasantly surprising.
