chart.You should note down the different steps of the process, for example ‘Harvesting’ + any additional information you will need to briefly present the process.

Step 1 = Harvesting: from October to February

Step 2 = Cleaning: the olives are brought to the mill to be washed in cold water in order to eliminate the impurities.

Step 3 = Grinding: the olives are crushed into a paste, this step is done using grinding stones.

Step 4 = Malaxing: the paste is filtered and formed into a sort of cake called a “scortin”.

Step 5 = Pressing: the scortins are then stacked on top of one another and cold pressed mechanically, this is probably the most important step.

Step 6 = Separating: this step consists of separated the oil from the rest of the olive components (water and solids), this is done by centrifugation.

Final step = Ready to be bottled

Listen to the questions and write your answers.

1. Once the olives arrive at the mill they’re going to be washed in cold water to remove the dirt and other impurities.
2. When the olives are finally clean they are crushed into a thick paste with grinding stones.

1. After being crushed into a paste, that paste is formed into a cake-ish shape called a scortin. The scortins are going to be stacked on top of one another in 25 to 30 levels.

1. Once the scortins are stacked they are pressed mechanically, it’s important to do so with only cold mechanical pressure.

1. Then the oil is decanted into a container where the oil is finally separated from the water by centrifugation.

1. The final step of the process is bottling the obtained olive oil.
