(in one step)

Press your own olive oil

Which olives

From a number of olive varieties you can even produce oil in one step. Unfortunately, Piteba cannot give you any assurance about olive breeds that are suitable for this purpose. You will have to try your own olives to find out if your olives are suitable for the one step method or if you must first produce olive paste and press the oil with a fruit press. It seems that olives with a large kernel and little flesh give best results. These are the old varieties and wild olives.

How to proceed

Use fresh fully ripened oil olives. Fill the press with olives (including kernel) and push them into the press with the pestle while turning the crank. The olives should be around 25 - 30 ° C and use the burner for some extra heat.

The press cake comes out of the cap and the oil comes out of the oil slit. With the adjustment bolt, the pressure can be controlled. After settling, you have a clear cold-pressed olive oil. The detailed procedure is explained in the manual included with the D2 cap.

Transform your press into a grinder

Nut meal:

Use the D2 cap to grind dried press pulp into flour. Instead of drying, you can also lightly roast the press pulp for extra flavour. Fresh unroasted peanuts should always be roasted first.

Coffee:

While turning the crank, fill the press with roasted coffee and you will get well ground coffee.

If you want an extra fine grind, grind a second time. You can also sieve the flour and grind the coarse particles again to obtain a very homogeneous flour.
