For me its worth it...I dont have a high salary to buy quality delicious olive oil...so I make my own. Plus people love getting homemade olive oil for gifts.​@@LiakatHossain

Makes sense now why no one makes it at home.

Actually recently did this myself and was totally and 100% worth it. I did remove the pits ahead of time for another project that was just a bit of time and relaxing to do. Then after after extra ting via a press and with my hands the with the leftover mash I did have some pure filtered water slightly wam that I blended with under a vaccume (blendtec) blender to not oxidize too much and let the top float and siphoned off. It turned out really really good with the olives out of the garden. When working with a vaccume blender it really helps. And even when putting into storage I use one of those reverse wine pumps to remove all the air. Taste is phenomenal, absolutely stunning. Great experiment and model, thanks for sharing.

What a fun experiment! I'm the same, I just want to try making everything I use for cookin from scratch at least once in my life. Often I find the process of making these everyday ingredients more fun than actually cooking itself. It's like a little sciency/artisan project each time. Thank you for sharing your journey :)

I'm jealous. Ours died suddenly one year. I've had friends give me their olives when they prune, though, as most people don't want to deal with the work of curing them or doing anything like this.

Very interesting to see

To make 32 oz of oil you need approximately 25lbs of olives or 1 5 gallon bucket. Using your food processor, yikes, the amount of time this would take and the damage it would do to your blade, I can't imagine. Also you are skipping maybe the most important step, malaxation. After pulverizing the olives using whatever method you choose, you need to stir them, typically for at least 45 minutes. A kitchen aid with the dough hook on works perfectly for this step. You will begin to see the oil pooling up on the edges when it is ready. Then you press it. Malaxing will increase your yield by multiples I can't even guess, probably 5x. I use a garbage disposal at a temporary sink. Make a few gallons every year, this is an old video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hqBo09uonJuapMY.html

Finding out most of the olive oil in stores is fake so I'm thinking of trying to make my own. Much like everything else. It's all poison, and I'm trying to get my family healthy.

@Thethingswellmake

3 ай бұрын

Sadly, it's not very practical to make your own olive oil without specialized equipment. The only reason I did it was to give it a try with the olives that I would have otherwise discarded. (I had several kilograms and cured the undamaged ones, but used the blemished ones for this experiment. The leftover pulp was then fed to my hens. hahaha) I know what you mean, though. I try to find good, reliable sources for whatever I can and try to make what I can, but it's hard. I'm lucky when it comes to olive oil as here in Spain, you can find lots of places that make it locally and, in many cases, you can even take tours and see how they produce their oils. (Or at least see where they grow their olives.) It's often in the same places that have grapes for wine making. The bodegas often sell both. Hopefully, you can find a good source. I don't mean to discourage you, and really enjoyed the process and the oil was delicious, but... not sure I'd be ready to do that all of the time!

I've got seven big, mature olive trees on my property, and have attempted this a couple times, and have not been able to get any oil to separate from the olive water. The first time I did it I realized that I had the blender on at too high of a speed. The second time I slowed the blender down, but in both instances, I first crushed the olives with a mallet to remove the seeds. Could it be that I'm harvesting too late? I've been picking them when about 20-30% of the olives are starting to turn from green to black.

@Thethingswellmake

5 ай бұрын

Hmmm- that's interesting. Yes, you do need to use a very low speed to make sure you don't hurt the blender or blend up the olive pits themselves. Once I removed the seeds, I blended at a higher speed. I don't really know what else to tell you as I only attempted it this one time. I was surprised by how much oil I obtained just from the olives I would otherwise discard. (I had ordered olives for curing at home, and used the blemished ones, etc.) It may be due to a lot of factors: the type of olive, the time of harvest, the heat given off, or not, by the blender. (Maybe mixing with warmer water would help extract more oil), etc. This was a sort of experiment for me because I hated seeing the not-so-great olives go to waste.

I have no idea what varietal of olives I have on my property as they were already here when I bought the place. But It seems like there are at least 2 different types. There are a couple trees that produce olives that are a big larger, but less dense - they float and are very soft. While the other 5 trees produce smaller, denser olives. I live in California, and have a source for really tasty high-quality local grown and minimally processed olive oil from a small winery / olive oil producer, but they are 3 hours away, and the oil is about $50 a quart.

@@chrismiller100I'm not sure what variety mine were either. I live in Spain and have bought locally at the market or have been gifted them a few times when I went to help friends prune their trees. We had an olive tree ourselves at one point, but the tree died shortly after we bought the house. I think it already had some sort of termite infestation. (which is weird in a live tree, but anyway.) The olives in this video were from a year that I ordered over the internet. I had to order a huge amount at once, so I had way more than I needed. They were pretty dense, though, in case that helps at all. Oil here is generally quite inexpensive, but it did recently jump sky high in comparison. (It pretty much doubled over a few months, but remains cheaper than in most places.)

That's an interesting question. I'd have to look into it more, but I'll give you a guess meanwhile. When my olive oil is cold, it does somewhat solidify, but it's still more of a thick liquid. I know people make an "olive oil butter" by whipping olive oil and butter and using that as a spread. I've seen olive butter and assumed that pure olive oil butters would be hydrogenated, so not necessarily healthy and not something that could be achieved in a homemade way, but I've never really looked into it. I'll definitely put it on my "things to look into" list. 😏

Could you flip the container upside down and slowly let the water out?

@Thethingswellmake

Жыл бұрын

Perhaps, but it would really depend on the container as to how easy it would be to control. I'd suggest something like a bottle that goes from wider to thinner at the top so you end up with more of a funnel. The problem is controlling it so that it doesn't all go out of the bottom at once. The ideal, of course, would be a separatory funnel.

​@Thethingswellmake - there's a device called a "fat separator". It's like a measuring cup with a pour spout that feeds from the bottom. Since the olive oil will float on the top, it would work. It's typically used for soup broth to reduce the fat content, but still be able to keep the fat for other uses.

@@Thethingswellmake the bitterness is not a bad thing actually. And as far as the quantity goes, that’s really simple it’s all about hydration. All you do is put that in a big pot and reduce it by at least half and you could even go further to make a base removing as much of the hydration as you desire for the bitterness, you just have to understand that that can be balanced in specific uses with other ingredients, such as honey, sugar, natural fruit sugars, and or in some thing that has natural sweetness that you add some of your olive liquid to add bitterness that you need. For instance, it can be used as an addition to a salad dressing. You could actually turn this into a vinegar.

My reasoning for trying this out was because I was curing olives and many were going to be otherwise discarded. They either had worms or were smashed or blemished in a way that they would rot if cured. I was trying to do something that would prevent waste and this was an experiment to see how much oil could be obtained. I did try to use the water, especially in the first go, but the water was very unpalatable and I couldn't find uses for it. It is very bitter and nobody in my house wanted it. I'm actually unsure about the health properties of the water. Many plant toxins are in the bitter parts of the plants. That may or may not be the case here. In any case, I welcome anyone to try to use it. I do always try to use whatever I can, but just couldn't find a use for it because nobody liked its flavor in my house. (I generally give that sort of thing to my hens, but even they didn't want it in this case.) Unsure of it's benefits, in this case I ended up tossing most of it.
