Hello Jos!
The "lecca" is a sort of flat spoon to "lick" (in Italian, "leccare") the
oil from the surface of a tin.
It requires a particular ability to grab the oil and leave the water: with
a circular movement the miller takes the 2 millimeters of oil cropping up
from the water.
Now there are other methods to separate oil and water: I'm asking the old
millers here around to find a "lecca", so I can show you a photo of
someone using this tool.

Bye!

Please contact me about Ligurian oils. I need to find contacts for Raineri
