At a boutique facility aiming for the production of niche and gourmet olive oil with maximum quality and high nutritional value,
our boutique olive oil extraction system with vertical malaxers and fully enclosed structure has been commissioned to completely preserve the phenolic compounds in olives.
The primary objective of the project is to completely eliminate contact with air (oxygen) during the olive paste preparation (malaxation) stage, reducing oxidation to zero to achieve high-grade olive oil rich in vitamin E, natural aromas, and high polyphenol content.
Technical Process and Vertical Malaxer Engineering
Unlike traditional horizontal malaxers, the malaxer architecture with a vertical construction offers a major technical advantage in the boutique olive oil process:
Minimum Contact Surface and Zero Air (Oxygen-Free) Environment: Thanks to the vertical geometry, the top surface area of the olive paste in contact with free air is minimized. The system, operating in integration with a fully enclosed basin structure, strictly prevents the oxidation of the paste.
Precise Homogenization and Temperature Control: With its special blade design, a vertical mixing dynamic is provided that releases the oil micro-droplets in the cell walls without crushing the paste. Temperature throughout the process is stably maintained within cold-press standards.
Precise Phase Separation (Boutique Decanter and Separator): The valuable paste protected from oxidation is directed to the high-precision centrifuge system, seamlessly separating the oil, vegetation water, and sediment phases.
Key Deliverables and Added Value
Record-Level Polyphenol and Antioxidant Preservation: Polyphenols, the most valuable components of the olive fruit, were directly transferred to the olive oil at a rate close to 100% without being burned or lost through air contact.
Flawless Organoleptic (Sensory) Profile: The color of the oil and its fresh grass and fruity aromatic structure were preserved; premium olive oil standards were achieved through a balanced pungency and bitterness.
Qualified Branding and High Commercial Value: Thanks to the vertical malaxer technology that makes a difference in boutique production, a final product fully compatible with market demands in the health-focused and high-price segment was obtained.
