Enzymes for olive oil extraction

Get the most from varying harvests

Today’s health-conscious consumers are buying more olive oil. Our enzymatic solutions are an economical way for you to make the most of this opportunity. They work with all extraction systems to help you get the most from varying harvests and olives. With our enzymes you can overcome a range of processing challenges. The result is increased yields of high-quality end-products. 

Squeeze more oil from every ton of olives

Squeeze more oil from every ton of olives

Our enzymes increase your yields so you can squeeze more optimal quality oil from every ton of olives. They also help cut your losses by reducing residual oil in the pomace. Enzymes give you a better production process by allowing your equipment to operate more smoothly. Oil/water separation and oil clarification are also faster and more efficient with enzymes.

Benefits across olive varieties

Benefits across olive varieties

You’ll get the most benefits from our enzymes if you’re working with difficult-to-process varieties. These include Manzanilla, Picual, Hojiblanca and Leccino. But our solutions also improve oil yields from varieties that are less difficult to process. Examples include Arbequina, Barnea, Picholine and Coratina varieties. Even with easy-to process varieties, our enzymatic preparations deliver benefits. That makes them relevant if you're processing Frantoio, Nevadillo Blanco and Koroneiki.
