Olive Oil Producers

Olive oil producers; It is one of the most curious subjects of companies that want to buy olive oil. They also referred to as olive oil producers. Meanwhile, we are producing under the brand Taha Kervan, which is one of the olive oil producers. Our olive oil production factory is located in Hatay, Turkey. We have compiled the most frequently asked questions for you. Then we can start now.

Olive Cultivation

Firstly, The process of producing olive fruit professionally by planting olive saplings is called olive cultivation. Secondly,Anyone who buys olive saplings and plant them in the ground under suitable conditions and maintains them can grow olives. Thirdly, Olive cultivation can be done as a hobby or commercially. As a result, those who grow olives with 5-10 olive saplings grow olives as a hobby. But, those who do this business with thousands of saplings grow olives commercially.

Companies that grow olives commercially produce table olives and olives for oil. Although the growing conditions are basically the same for both, the process is different. Growers of table olives harvest the olives when they are fully ripe or green. But there are different procedures for olives for oil. In order to obtain quality olive oil, methods such as early harvest application. Lastly, after the collection of olives we press without delay and turned into olive oil.

Olive Oil Production

We obtain most of the olives from olive trees, which represent peace in every period, and use for olive oil production. Because, the world’s demand for olive oil is met by olives grown in regions dominated by the Mediterranean climate.

Spain is the leading country in olive oil production worldwide. According to the latest information, Spain, which produces 1,600,000 tons of olive oil, ranked first in the world. The next country after Spain is Italy, which produces 250,000 tons of olive oil. Next comes Greece, which produces 220,000 tons, and Turkey, which produces 172,000 tons of olive oil.

Harvesting Process

Ripe olives should be harvested with great precision. The biggest reason for this is that the technique used while harvesting will affect the yield in the next years. While collecting olives, do not damage the branches. Harvesting by hitting the branches of the tree or shaking the trunk of the tree with a machine reduces the yield in the following years.

Crimping Process

After harvesting olives we transport them to the squeezing plant under suitable conditions. When you do not transport the olives under suitable condition. It damages and reduce the quality of the oil. It increases the acid rate. For this reason, after harvesting olives, pressed under appropriate conditions.

The squeezing process of olives generally divides into two as cold and hot squeezing. Top quality oil is obtained from the olives pressed with the cold-pressed method. An olive oil with a wonderful taste, smell, color and aroma is obtained. You can obtain a lower quality oil from the olives pressed with the hot squeezing method. However, those whose acidity is lower than 0.8% in 100 g of oil are classified as extra virgin olive oil.

Bottling

After the squeezing process is completed, the olive oil is kept in the boilers. Afterwards, the boilers connects to the filling line , and then again we fill them into your desired packages. We fill the olive oils that we produce under the Taha Kervan brand in 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 liter, 5 liter and 18 liter packages.

Olive Oil Producers Associations

Almost everyone living in the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts of our country has an olive orchard. While some of them cultivate olives as a hobby, others continue their lives with the money they earn from this business. But you will appreciate that the amount of olive oil obtained from 1 decare of land and the amount of olive oil obtained from 100,000 decares of land are different.

The most logical way to prevent the big producers from destroying the small producers is to merge. Small-scale olive oil producers can come together to achieve large-volume production and sales. All of these transactions are non-governmental organizations and their name is”Cooperatives”. Small businesses that produce locally generally sell olive oil as members of the cooperative in their region.
