Olive oil is made from crushing the fruit of olives. There are primarily 2 methods that are used in the world today. First is the continuous method, which crushes the entire olive into a paste, then separates the solids from the oil. Second is the integral method, which removes the stones from the olives before they are crushed. The integral method is favored by many because it produces 4 valuable products: high quality extra virgin olive oil, highly nutritious olive water, dry olive flesh for cattle feed, and oil bearing stones for fuel.

Olives grow very readily from seed, so much so that they are a serious problem in some areas such as Australia. If grown from a named variety, the fruit will probably not be as high in quality as the parent plant. Olives are usually propagated by grafting to increase both quality and production. yer OLIVES and AFRICAN OLIVES are incredibly invasive. When in seed birds feed exclusively on them and then wherever they fly is where they excrete the seed is where the plants start to grow. People like them cos they represent peace, yer maybe in their original country. But not here. stoopid imigrants.
