Here’s a fascinating fact, olive oil is technically a fruit juice! Olives are characterized as a drupe, a variety fruit with a fleshy outside and a single hard seed inside, like cherries and peaches. Just like many other fruit juices, olive oil is rich with antioxidants and other key nutrients. But the time from harvest to pressing can significantly affect the taste, quality and nutrient content of the olive oil. The typical turnaround from field to factory mill for an olive is 12-24 hours. Olive Truck, a mobile olive oil pressing factory and vendor, has cut that time down to around one hour with their state-of-the-art facility. Their mobile facility is able to press up to 500 kilograms of olives in an hour, delivering the freshest olive oil and capturing the true essence of the olive’s flavor while preserving all of the inherent nutrients. Each bottle of Olive Truck’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil is certified by the California Olive Oil Council, which holds the highest standards in the world for extra virgin olive oil.
