Large electrical olive grinding machine with millstones, Quinta Generacion Olive Oil Factory, Mendoza, Argentina
The Quinta Generacion Pasrai Olive Oil business, producing dried fruits, dehydrated vegetables and extra virgin olive oil, was started by the Muravnik Family in 1920. The production of olive oil can take up to four months. Oil, compressed out of an olive paste, is pumped into a series of tanks, from which the olive oil is filtered out. Here we see the first stage of olive oil production: a machine with a large millstone to grind the olives into a paste. The olives may be ground for 30-40 minutes, both to ensure they are well ground and to allow the fruit enzymes to produce oil aromas for good taste.
