sansa

<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>Residue from the olive oil mill is often called "pomace" in English
speaking countries because there is no special word. The Oxford
dictionary says it applies to any waste from fruit processing but
specially cider.

In Italian there is a special word"sansa" which is just for olive waste
and the name appears on olive oil bottles where the oil is extracted by
heat and solvents from the sansa.

I imagine there must be special words for it in Arabic, Spanish, Greek
and other Mediterranean languages.
