How Cyprus Black Olive Oil is Made

The production of Black Olive Oil in Cyprus is a meticulous and labor-intensive process. It begins with boiling the olives until their peels come off. Once boiled, the olives are placed in a basket and rinsed with cold water to remove the dark juice. They are then left to rest overnight and laid under the sun for the next three days to dry. The wrinkled, oil-agglomerated olives are stored in bags in a dark place for a week. After this period, they are ground in a mill to extract the rich, flavorful oil.
