Just like many foods are dried, olives are also among the dried foods. This area of particular interest to olive producers is that some types of olives are consumed after drying. The water content in fresh product is approximately 80%. This humidity should be kept to a minimum for dried olive production. The olive drying process is carried out by drying fresh and sweetened olives in a heat pump dryer system. This water rate is brought to a minimum with the olive dryer machine.
Dried olives can be made in the sun, but the much simpler and faster method is machine dried. Olives dried in the food dryer dry very quickly and naturally, without any change in taste, smell or flavor. In addition, since it works with heat pump technology, tons of olives can be dried with minimum energy cost.
