Olimaker is the first table-top micro-oil mill capable of continuously and automatically integrating all the processes necessary to obtain, instantly, quality extra virgin olive oil extracted cold.
This
is an innovation that will be officially presented at the XIX
International Fair of Olive Oil and Related Industries, Expoliva
2019, which will take place in Jaén from 15 to 18 May.
The
entrepreneurs Luis Serrano and Rafael Ibáñez are the creators of
the Olimaker patent. They have worked until obtaining a
prototype adapted to its functionality as well as in size and
ergonomics. The entire process is carried out in a five-litre glass,
which allows a maximum of three kilos of olives to be milled every 30
minutes. The glass is easily washable and, once the resulting
by-product, the alperujo, has been removed, it can later be
reused as an agricultural fertilizer or for other uses.
The
result is "a kind of Nespresso but for olive oil, designed so
that the user can instantly make his own extra virgin olive oil by
making his own coupages between varieties of olives",
explains Luis Serrano one of its creators.
The
applications of this project are many, as they adapt to both the
domestic and industrial environments.
"It
is aimed at olive growers who want to know the fat yield of their
olives and the quality of their oil; it is also aimed at the
olive-oil industry, as it is ideal for evaluating product samples;
and of course it is aimed at private customers and the Horeca
channel, as it makes it possible to make their own oils and
incorporate them into the kitchen".
Its
creators are researching to offer in the future bags of olives
already prepared to make blends and obtain specific extra virgin
olive oils, also enriched with new nutritional properties that
will surprise users.
"They
would be like the Nespresso coffee capsules but in olive bags".
They
are currently researching several lines of vacuum packaging to
maintain the properties of the olives, since by packaging the olives
in a modified atmosphere with established quality parameters and
traceability, they will have olives to grind at any time.
