Second Frantorio

Found it!
This place squashes its olives with huge stones - perfect!
There is again no heat involved, and the olive oil that is pressed in slightly green in colour due to the earlyness of the picking. 5 guys are working (or mostly sitting around) in the mill, and we are trying to negotiate a reasonable price for our first batch of oil.
There are vans pulling up outside frequently to drop off thier oil- some want to keep the oil (in fact most do), but some sell the oil to the farm, this beng the oil we are set to buy. This is the reason ths quality of oil is so rare to find not only in the UK, but the USA, or anywhere olive oil isn't produced.
