Good oil flows as press re-starts

Oil is flowing again at Marlborough Oil Press. Press supervisor Aman Chowfin said Monday was the first day the press was back in operation after 10 months of not being used. Yesterday was an induction day for staff using the equipment, which had doubled in capacity from previous years.  “We’re easing into it.” Smaller batches of fruit from families with olive trees in their backyards and smallholdings were being processed yesterday, with larger harvests due to be processed next week after picking at the weekend.
