    I have collected all the liquid, but it is just a green mess. How long does it take to separate?
    Community Answer
    If you did it right, it should only take about an hour. The longer it takes, the worse it will be. If it takes longer than a day, start over.

    Where can i get the olives?

    You will need to buy them online or from an olive grove or a food co-op or even grow and harvest the olives. Supermarkets do not sell fresh olives because fresh olives are incredibly bitter and don't appeal to most people.

    I have three large olive trees in my back garden in West Sussex. They all produce olives. This year I want to make my own olive oil. Do you think our UK olives will work?

    Absolutely. While not as common as in Mediterranean climates, UK olives can yield oil. Consider factors like variety, climate, and harvest time. Experiment with small batches and enjoy the unique flavor profile of your homegrown olive oil.

  • Question
    Do I need to remove the pits from the olives, or can I leave them in?

    Community Answer
    You can leave the pits in; they won't alter the taste and can be easily removed later.
