Traditionally Press Olive Oil

Mirovica, a little town in Montenegro has the oldest olive tree in the whole of Europe. It is said that it may be about 2000 years old! I had a chance to visit an old olive oil mill and on the same day I had a chance to visit a modern olive oil mill too when I met a lovely gentleman, Milos Davidovic in Montenegro. He owns a newly set up modern olive oil press. The people there can harvest the olives and bring it to him so that his machine can press out the olive. He believes that oil pressed in the modern way is better than the ones done traditionally.
