Olive oil Mill – ISO 22000
In Jordan this
small beautiful country, we have planted,
loved, and cared for olive trees for many
generations. We have set out to establish a
plant that combines the long Jordanian
history and tradition of olive oil making,
we have learned by experience, how to choose
the best olives and how to extract their
oil.
First, the olives are handpicked and
transported in plastic boxes to the mill
site. The olives are then placed in the
hopper, then up to the washing machine of
the production line. The clean olives are
passed up to the crusher to be crushed then
down into the mallixers after the proper
time under controlled conditions the paste
is pumped into decanters where oil is
separated from the water & solids, then out
to collecting tank then to the vertical
separator which is the final stage of the
process.
There's oil and excellent oil.
There's olive
oil and extra virgin olive oil. Extra virgin
olive oil is rich in nutrition as a result
of strictly controlling multiple factors
from hand picking and during the extraction
process.

Quality & location
To get an idea
of what we're talking about come and visit
us:
A nice drive through Wadi Mujib "Arnoon",
passing the kings highway and you'll come to
Al-Waseyeh, near Rabbah.
You can talk to one of the owners who will
guide you round the machinery explaining all
the secrets for making real extra virgin
olive oil. You'll be able to try our
marvelous extra virgin olive oil on a
"brochette" (piece of bread) heated in the
fire.
To get excellent extra virgin oil, the
olives need to be controlled from the field
through transportation to the processing.
Only the oil with special characteristics
can be called extra virgin olive oil.
What can we say, try it and you'll taste the
difference.
Olive benefits
Today as in the
past olives and olive oil have an important
place in the lives and diets of the
inhabitants of the Mediterranean basin.
They eat the fruits ripe or pickled,
accompanied by bread or as part of their
many healthy recipes. They use the oil as
the main fat for cooking and for salad
dressing in their cuisine, which is claimed
to be the most health-friendly around the
world.
Olive oil is also being introduced in the
diets by more and more people, after it has
been proven beneficial to the health in
general and to the heart in particular (as
it helps to prevent-disease by lowering the
level of cholesterol in the blood). The
soaps and creams that are made from it are
becoming very popular in the West, as they
have always been in the East. They are the
most moisturizing organic and healthy
skincare products in the market.
Consumption of olive oil provides large
amounts of mono-unsaturated fat (mufa) which
have been shown to be cardio-protective as
compared with the saturated fats (sfa) found
in animal fats. Extensive studies have shown
that the consumption of mufa influences the
postprandial lipoprotein metabolism even in
persons with a long history of sfa
consumption.
Beneficial changes in blood clotting factors
were also observed on the high mufa diet.
The findings explain the lower risk of heart
disease observed in Mediterranean
populations and strengthens the evidence for
the beneficial effects of diets high in mufa
such as olive oil.
Hippocrates the father of medicine knew well
the therapeutic properties of olive oil. In
his surviving works there are more than 60
pharmaceutical and medical uses of olive oil
for dermatological conditions to fever and
stomach ulcers. Today science confirms all
of these old uses and discovers new uses
this miracle green gold.
