What is the core of fresh olive oil? It is of course olive fruits. Olive is harvested in exorbitant amounts throughout the terrains of Spain. It is fitting that the Department of Food Technology from Extremadura in Spain conducted a research on the olive fruits and it came up with a great finding. The research was focused on the effects of extra additives for extraction of olive before production of extra virgin olive oil. The research found that extra water and talc powder which is added during malaxation stage of fresh olive oil for sale production reduces the overall yield and extractability of the natural olive oil. Malaxation is a method by which more oil is extracted from the olive paste.

The study further suggested that, when olive is harvested in the orchards there is a lot of water used. So this water in imbued within the olive fruits. When there is further water added in the extraction stage for olive oil for sale an excess of water is formed. Thus the yield of oil goes down. But this is a common mistake committed by both the harvesters and extractors. In the present scenario there is often a scarcity of olive oil in the market. This scarcity owes its source to the extraction process of extra virgin olive oil.

When extra water is added some of the health benefits of natural olive oil are also reduced. The oil extracted with excess water contains least phenols and thus does not have antioxidant properties.
