Ecologic cleaning in olive oil mills

Extravergin olive oil shows high nutritional value and is an excellence in Italian traditional food.

To maintain high quality productions, it is recommended to clean the mill with efficient detergents containing no substances of toxicological concern and no fragrances that could modify organoleptic properties of olive oil. As is well known, fragrances are typically fat soluble, therefore they tend to be absorbed by oily products and make them smell as they were added with fragrance; so it must be avoided to use perfumed detergents, both in production rooms and in bottling.

Successfully tested by some olive oil mills near Garda Lake, the most suitable product to clean floors and hard surfaces, in accordance with the conditions described above, is Strong Degreaser code SF: very concentrated, low foaming, after dilution it is suitable for both washing by hand with mop and washing by machine.
