La Salud Cooperative Boosts Olive Oil Production with Advanced PEF Technology
Learn how this Spanish olive oil producer boosts its production with the patented OptiCEPT® PEF technology.
Spain accounts for almost half of global olive oil production, however, Greece is first in class when it comes to consumption.
Per capita consumption is highest in Greece, followed by Italy and Spain. Greece is also the third-largest exporter of olive oil.
The tradition of olive oil in Greece stretches back to ancient times, evidence suggests that olives were being grown in Crete as long ago as 2500 BC.
The tradition is deeply rooted, to say the least. As two OptiCEPT® PEF systems are about to be delivered to Agioi Apostoloi, it makes a perfect example of how tradition meets new technology!
Agioi Apostoloi is a Greek olive oil cooperative serving 521 members. The cooperative currently has one of the most modern olive oil mills in Greece located in Vatika of Lakonia.
They produce about 1000 tons of extra virgin olive oil annually. The focus on quality is very high.
During the 2020 season, the cooperative first got familiar with the technology for olive oil production.
The results were quite amazing. With OptiCEPT® installed the cooperative at Agioi Apostoloi managed to increase the production of EVOO by 10 %. They also managed to reduce the extraction time by 50 %. The results led them to invest in an OptiCEPT® PEF system.
Below is a video from Agioi Apostoloi, explaining in greater detail what effects OptiCEPT® had on their production:
Besides Agioi Apostoloi – more and more well-renowned olive oil producers are implementing OptiCepts PEF technology in their process.
One example is the Spanish producers Acesur and Canoliva. Furthermore, Moulin d’Olivette in France and, Atlas Olive Oils in Morocco.

Learn how olive oil producer Aceites Canoliva benefits from OptiCepts Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology.
PEF enables olive oil producers to extract more oil from each processed olive. How you might ask? In this post, we’ll take a closer look at how pulsed electric field technology impacts the olive oil extraction process.
