Olive Oil Production Process:
1. The first step in olive oil production is the harvesting of the olives. Harvest timing is crucial as it affects the quality and flavor of the oil. Olives are usually harvested by hand when fully ripe or by shaking the trees to release the fruit. The harvested olives are then sorted to remove any leaves, twigs, or other debris and are washed to remove any dirt or dust. At Solana Vineyards, we are committed to using the best and most sustainable farming practices, ensuring that our olives are of the highest quality.
2. Next, the olives are ground into a paste known as the “mash.” The mash is then subjected to pressure in a process known as “pressing.” This separates the oil from the solid matter in the olives. The oil is then filtered to remove any impurities, such as bits of pits or skin. The pressing process is critical in determining the quality of the oil. At Solana Vineyards, we use the most advanced pressing techniques to ensure that our olive oil is of the highest quality.
3. The resulting oil is then placed in containers and left to settle. Over time, any remaining impurities will rise to the top, and the oil can be decanted into another container, leaving behind the sediment. The oil is then ready for bottling or further processing, such as blending with other oils or adding flavorings. At Solana Vineyards, we are committed to preserving the flavor, aroma, and health benefits of our olive oil. We use the most advanced filtration techniques to ensure that our olive oil is pure and of the highest quality.
Why Choose Solana Vineyards For Your Olive Oil Needs?

Extra virgin olive oil is considered the highest-quality oil, as it is made from the first pressing of the olives and has no defects or other impurities.
