How olive oil is made

Producing olive oil is a long and difficult process but if you follow the steps clearly you should end that process with good quality oil.

First, between September and December, the olives are harvested by hand or with sticks and rakes. After that they are collected on nets beneath the trees. Then, leaves and small stones are removed and the olives are run through a washer to remove any impurities before crushing. After that, within 24-36 hours of picking, the olives are crushed by granite millstones. The olive paste obtained is layered on mats which are put under pressure from a screw or hydraulic press. The liquid produced is collected and put through a centrifugal separator to separate the water and impurities from the oil. At the end, after centrifugation, the oil is obtained.

At the end if you want olive oil to be a superior oil you must follow these steps, Less acidic olive oil means better oil .

KSA and UAE

In this essay I am going to compare and contrast two countries, KSA and the UAE.

Firstly, let us talk about the similarities. Both are Islamic countries and both have hereditary monarchies. In addition, both countries are very rich because of large-scale natural resources of oil and gas. Furthermore, both countries have national airlines, modern airports and they have in the same location in the Middle East.
There are, however, a number of differences. First the UAE is more open in customs in KSA they are tough in customs. Another difference in the UAE has more modern cities like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah in KSA they have one city Riyadh . Another difference is the currency, dirhams in the UAE and reyals in KSA. Furthermore, KSA has mecca the greatest area for Muslims butthe UAE doesn’t. Education is better in the UAE the than KSA. A final difference is petrol; petrol in KSA is not clean like UAE petrol.

I've visited both countries and both are safe, pleasant places to live and raise families in the UAE is more comfortable and I like it more than KSA, but both are good locations for a holiday.
