  • What is the olive oil production process?
  • Flow chart of the olive oil production process. Flow chart of the olive oil production process. Olive oil is one of the most globally recognized high-value products, with 4 million hectares cultivated in the Mediterranean area. The production process involves many stages: farming, extraction, packing, and waste treatment.
  • What is the supply chain process of olive oil?
  • Many academics try to analyze the whole supply chain process of the olive oil industry and its different phases. These phases include farming, production, distribution, and by-products (Rapa and Ciano, 2022).
  • Where does olive oil come from?
  • As it constitutes one of the most recognizable high value products on a global scale, most of its production occurs in the Mediterranean area (67% of total production of global olive oil production, amounting to 19 million tons of olives and 4 million hectares).
  • Can physical technologies improve olive oil extraction process efficiency?
  • The olive oil industry has been operating for centuries, but in the last decades, significant attention has gone to the development of physical technologies that enhance the traditional extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) extraction process efficiency. Studies have validated such technologies at industrial scale in medium-sized olive oil factories.
  • What is the process of milling olives?
