OLIVE-POMACE OIL – OLIVE-PIT FUEL – INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS
Our Products
Our Products
We transform olive-pomace biomass into valuable products through specialized processing, combining resource efficiency, energy recovery, and the development of innovative, high-value applications.
Olive-Pomace Oil
Olive-pomace oil is the oil extracted from olive pomace through a specialized processing process.
The Process
The process includes:
- drying of the olive pomace,
- oil extraction, and
- distillation to separate the oil from the solid olive-pit fuel.
QUALITY
OLIVE-POMACE OIL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
We produce crude olive-pomace oil, suitable for further refining and processing.
USES & BENEFITS
Following appropriate refining, olive-pomace oil can be used for cooking and frying. It offers good thermal stability, with a smoke point of approximately 240°C, making it suitable for high-temperature cooking applications.
Its fatty-acid profile is characterized by a high proportion of monounsaturated fats, similar to that of olive oil. As a result, it represents an attractive and cost-effective alternative in the edible oils market, combining nutritional value with competitive pricing.

Olive-Pit Fuel
Olive-pit fuel is a solid biomass fuel produced during the processing of olive pomace, following the removal of oil and moisture from the olive pits. It provides an efficient way to valorize olive biomass while offering an alternative energy source for heating and thermal applications.
Actual savings depend on market prices, fuel quality, equipment efficiency, and operating conditions.
We place strong emphasis on product quality and consistency.
Ash content: <1.5%
Moisture content: <10%
These specifications support clean combustion, efficient operation, and high energy performance.

From Olive Biomass to High-Value Products
By maximizing the utilization of every component of olive biomass, we aim to create an integrated circular model for resource valorization.
Olive Pomace → Olive-Pomace Oil + Biomass Fuel → Energy + Biochar + Bioactive Compounds
Our goal is to move beyond the conventional treatment of olive pomace as a by-product and develop multiple value-added products from a single biomass resource, contributing to a more sustainable, efficient, and circular production model.
