Olive press
Olive press. This restored olive press dates to the beginning of the 20th century. It was used in the process of olive oil extraction, which separates the oil from the other fruit contents. The olive press was used after the olives were ground into a paste using large millstones. The machine works by applying pressure to the olive paste which separates the liquid oil and vegetation water from the solid fruit. Photographed at the Granada Science Park, in Granada, Spain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of history - the Olive Press. Restored to its former glory, this magnificent artifact dates back to the early 1900s and played a vital role in the olive oil extraction process. Located at the Granada Science Park in Spain, it stands as a testament to traditional agricultural techniques. The Olive Press was an integral part of olive farming during that era. Once olives were ground into a paste using colossal millstones, this remarkable machine came into action. By applying pressure to the olive paste, it skillfully separated the liquid gold - olive oil - from other fruit contents such as vegetation water and solid fruit. Steeped in industrial technology of its time, this historical marvel symbolizes Europe's rich heritage in agriculture and serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity. Its presence within Granada Science Park not only educates visitors about centuries-old methods but also highlights advancements made in science and technology over time. Photographed by Science Photo Library, this image encapsulates both nostalgia for bygone eras and appreciation for technological progress. As we gaze upon this restored treasure, let us reflect on how far we have come while cherishing our roots firmly planted in history's soil.
