How Do You Build An Olive Oil Press?
A basic olive oil press can be built by combining a few pieces from the kitchen with a couple items from the hardware store. Pressing olives in the homemade press will force the oils inside to come running out in a rich green-yellow liquid that you can collect. Impress family and friends by serving food that is cooked and seasoned with your homemade olive oil. You can build an olive oil press to turn fresh olives into small batches of delicious homemade olive oil. Fill the pot half full with water and bring it to a boil over medium heat on the stove before adding the stemless and leafless olives. Strain the olives after two or three minutes in the boiling water when they begin to soften. Lower the strainer holding the softened olives into a large bowl of ice water quickly to stop the cooking process. Double up the freezer bags by placing one inside other and dump the chilled olives into the inner bag. Seal the outer bag and lay it down on a cutting board so the olives can be rolled out
