World's Best Processing Services
The Big Olive has introduced to Australia the latest technology in olive processing equipment. Employing the 'cold press' Sinolia method of double extraction which has the ability to maintain the higher antioxidant and health benefits of the olive oil.
Olive Oil Processing & Pre-Harvest Fruit Testing
At the Big Olive we believe it is paramount to know when to harvest the olive fruit. Oil and moisture content is very critical in achieving optimum quality of Extra Virgin Olive oil. Olives should be harvested when the oil content is at a maximum in the fruit. Delaying harvest may compromise the character of the oil and reduce the yield. It is also important to monitor the moisture content of the fruit as it has a great bearing on the extraction efficiency during processing.
The Big Olive has developed a system and a service to the growers to assist them in quickly determining the optimum harvesting time for each olive variety.
Growers can register with us and by supplying us with approximately 200 grams of fruit to our laboratory, with the use of our infrared technology we can instantly determine the moisture/oil content and recommend the optimal harvest time.
It is important to register with us early enough in order to plan harvest and processing.
Olive Crushing & Processing
Jo Hani, the founder of the Big Olive designed and built the facility to accommodate the Rapanelli olive oil processing plant incorporating the ‘Sinolia’ Cold Press and Double Extraction method from both the Melaxer and Decanter. (Refer our Processing Method).
The Plant has been designed with expansion in mind to accommodate the processing of up to six lines to be in modular form in the future, hence being able to dedicate in the future lines to accommodate big olive growers under contract at the required harvest time without delay.
Contract Processing
For our regular contract growers we offer services second to none. As we consider these growers to be our staunchest allies in the growth of the olive industry in Australia, our most important goal is to process their oil incorporating a synergy of services in the processing deal and to provide the highest quality oil. Emphasis on cost savings in the provision of multi services can be incorporated. We would advise Growers to make arrangements early, well prior to harvesting time so we can both work toward making arrangement for storage and the eventual Purchase/Sale or Bottling of their oil.
We offer our contract Growers these benefits:
