Life back in the days
The olive oil refinery consisted of two main parts. Firstly, the millstones that would rotate in a circle with the help of animals, mainly donkeys, and secondly from the press. The purpose in the first stage was to break the olives enough to form a dough. In the second stage, the dough was placed in specially made sacks (turvades), to be put into the press. The particular press would operate with the help of workers who would turn the round surface holding it by the handles in order to lower the metal plate and press the sacks. Lastly, the olive oil was stored in containers and kept in the family celar.
