<pre>I'm sorry I've been away from NZ on business. I wrote earlier that I am off
to South of France and Spain 22 Oct - 24th Nov to look at all aspects of
production etc and in particular presses - wot sort of press best suited
for smaller blocks etc etc etc. I'm getting confused by the sheer amount of
info.
I would appreciate anyone replying who is actually using a press for a
similar sized grove as us and based on the following:
- 1400 trees - 90% oil
- growing organically
- will probably process fruit for 1 -3 other smaller groves who are growing
organically
- is it better to use the smaller centrifuge systems OR will the more
traditional presses do the job.
- can I sell the "sizzle" of the traditional press as we are developing our
grove as much for the "eco tourist" and farm stay market as well as
marketing our organic olive oil?
- There is no doubt that the traditional press "looks the part" more than
a centrifuge system- will the extra price at the Frantoio cover the slower
and costlier processing of the oil?
- is anyone using the Oliomio 100 yet - either in Australia or USA/Europe
etc.
These FAQ and many more to follow - is there a solution??
Kind regards

John Bishop
