Olive Crushing

This is when we crushed olives and pressed them. Another very inspiring day. There are many very important steps. First we picked the olives and then you must clean them and crush them. The crushing is important because it breaks the skin to allow the oil to come out when we press them. This here is the olive crusher.

The olives go in the basin and then 5 students line up along the beam and rotate the large rock around to crush the olive skins.
