The idea of an olive press project is based on extracting oil from olive fruits, processing it, and then packing it for health and food use. The project includes a series of successive processes that are carried out very accurately according to the highest quality standards in order to maintain the quality of the extracted oil and provide a distinguished final product.
An olive press project in which healthy and ripe olives are collected to start the process of cleaning, removing impurities, crushing, reaching the paste, separating the oil and storing it – after purification and filling – in special containers.
In the final stages, the refined oil is packaged in bottles or sealed containers labeled with the brand name, production date, package size, shelf life and other information of interest to consumers.
In 2015 (2016), the global consumption of olive oil worldwide was about 2.81 million metric tons, rising to 3.15 million metric tons in 2021 (2022).
In 2021, the area planted with olives in Saudi Arabia reached 31,864 hectares and the total production reached 382,105 tons. It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia’s olive production has increased by 58.5% since 2015.
