PROCESSING
Pomace olive oil is made from pomace, the solid by-product of the extra virgin olive oil extraction process, which is composed of pit fragments, peel skins and pulp parts that mills normally convey to refineries for further processing. Pomace by-product still contains 5-10% of oil, which is extracted by using hexane solvent. Crude pomace oil such obtained is therefore submitted to the several stages of refining process such as deacidification to reduce acidity, deodorization to remove volatile compounds responsible for unpleasant odors, and discoloration to remove brown compounds produced by oxidative phenomena. The resulting product is refined pomace olive oil which is delivered to BASSO where it is mixed with extra virgin olive oil, in order to reinstate part of the beneficial substances lost. This way it becomes pomace olive oil.
