Cold pressed olive oil having free fatty acid content of less than 0.1%

A process for producing cold pressed olive oil having FFA content of less than 1%;

• said process comprising the steps of:
• a. crashing the olive fruit to form a paste of olive oil, distilled water and none dissolvable solids;
• b. malaxing the paste;
• c. separating/decanting the olive oil from the none dissolvable solids;
• d. centrifuging the olive oil to remove distilled water;
• e. wherein at least one solid particulate adsorbent of FFA is added at least once before, during or after any step;
• thereby producing cold pressed olive oil having FFA content of less than 1%.

A process for producing cold pressed olive oil having FFA content of less than 1%;

• said process comprising the steps of:
• (a) providing cold pressed olive oil having FFA content of higher than 1% wt;
• (b) adding to said oil at least one solid particulate adsorbent of FFA and distilled water;
• (c) mixing said olive oil, distilled water and said at least one solid particulate adsorbent of FFA;
• (d) decanting/separating the olive oil and filtering said at least one solid particulate adsorbent of FFA;
• (e) centrifuging the olive oil to remove distilled water;
• thereby producing cold pressed olive oil having FFA content of less than 1%.
