Refined Olive Oil is highly purified olive oil that has undergone a series of refining processes to remove impurities, color, odor, and flavor. It is widely used for deep frying, sautéing, and stir-frying due to its high smoke point. It is also used for baking, such as in the preparation of cakes and sweet breads. It is also used as a base ingredient in the preparation of marinades and dressings. It also finds its application as a popular ingredient in moisturizers, lotions, and anti-aging products due to its emollient properties and content of vitamins E and A, which help nourish and protect the skin. It is also used as a conditioning agent in shampoos and hair masks to help strengthen hair and prevent dryness. It also serves as a component in the production of optical creams for their anti-inflammatory and skin-protective effects.

Feedstock for Refined Olive Oil

The feedstock involved in the production of Refined Olive Oil is Olives. The availability of high-quality olives serves as a major factor in the industrial procurement of olives. Factors such as drought, frost, or pests can significantly reduce yields, causing fluctuations in supply that, in turn, influence sourcing strategies for olives.  Insufficient rainfall or water availability can reduce yields, affecting the quantity and quality of olives available for procurement and processing. Rising demand for organic olives and olive-based products (such as olive oil, table olives, and olive-based cosmetics) can directly impact its pricing and sourcing decisions. Rising health awareness and changing dietary preferences, particularly in emerging markets, further increase demand for olives and olive oil, which also influence procurement processes.  Olives get damaged easily, which can cause them to spoil faster or degrade the quality of the oil produced from them. Therefore, proper storage conditions, transportation infrastructure, and the presence of intermediaries or cooperatives also play a crucial role in shaping olive sourcing strategies.
 

Market Drivers for Refined Olive Oil

The market for Refined Olive Oil is primarily driven by its demand as a versatile oil for various culinary and industrial uses. Its utilization as a cooking oil for general cooking, deep frying, baking, and manufacturing processed foods significantly boosts its demand in the food industry. Its application as an ingredient in various skincare and haircare formulations, including lotions, soaps, shampoos, and anti-aging products, further enhances its demand in the cosmetics and personal care industries. Its involvement as a component in manufacturing topical ointments and various nutritional supplements also contributes to its demand in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Its usage as a carrier oil for essential oils in massage and aromatherapy also promotes its demand in the wellness and healthcare industries.

Refined olive oil depends on the availability of olives, which is highly seasonal and affected by climate, agricultural practices, and pest outbreaks. Poor harvests or adverse weather conditions can reduce olive yields, which significantly impacts production, prices, and procurement strategies for refined olive oil. Disruptions in the supply chain due to geopolitical tensions, weather, or regulatory changes in major producing countries, including Spain, Greece, Portugal, and Morocco, can delay deliveries and increase costs. Food safety regulations, labeling laws, and certifications (such as PDO and PGI) also impact industrial Refined Olive Oil procurement. Trade policies, tariffs, and export restrictions in major producing countries, including Spain, Greece, Portugal, and Morocco, can affect global supply, which in turn impacts procurement decisions for refined olive oil. Trends in health, gourmet cooking, and clean-label products directly influence the demand for refined olive oil, which in turn affects its pricing and procurement decisions.

Capital expenditure (CAPEX) for manufacturing refined olive oil encompasses the primary costs associated with building the production facility and acquiring the necessary equipment. It includes purchasing land and constructing buildings for olive washing, crushing, malaxing, centrifuging, filtering, and bottling. The key machinery used includes a hammer crusher, a crushing unit, a stainless steel hammer mill, a blade crusher, a malaxation tank with an agitator, a decanter, a vertical centrifuge, a vibrating filter, and a dephosphorization and deacidification tank. Other equipment includes a bleaching earth tank, a deodorization tank/pot, a steam heater, and a filling oil pump. Setting up utilities, such as water supply, electricity, and waste treatment systems, also adds to the initial cost. Safety equipment and quality control labs are also part of the initial investment.

Operating expenditure (OPEX) encompasses the regular costs required to maintain the olive oil plant. It includes expenditures associated with purchasing raw olives, paying for electricity and water used in processing, and fuel for heating when necessary. There are also expenses for maintaining and repairing machines, packaging materials, and handling waste products, which further contribute to operating expenses (OPEX). Labor costs for machine operators, maintenance workers, and quality inspectors of the manufacturing plant also add to operational expenses. Expenses for maintaining and repairing machines, packaging materials, and handling waste products also contribute to operating expenses (OPEX). Ongoing testing and meeting health and safety standards are part of the daily operating costs.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Refined Olive Oil manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Refined Olive Oil manufacturing.

• Production from Olives: The feedstock required for this process includes Olives.

The production process of refined olive oil begins with harvesting olives, which are then ground into a thick paste through a milling process. Then, the obtained paste undergoes several sequential steps, starting with the addition of water to facilitate the separation of oil. Further, the oil is extracted from the paste and purified under controlled conditions, resulting in the formation of Refined olive oil as the final product.
 

Properties of Refined Olive Oil

RBD Refined Olive Oil is a clear, mild, and neutral-tasting oil produced by refining virgin olive oils to remove impurities, color, and odor. It has low acidity (less than 0.3%), a high smoke point (around 210 degree Celsius), and good stability, making it suitable for high-heat cooking and frying. The melting point of the oil is in the range of -6 degree Celsius to -2 degree Celsius, and its boiling point is around 300 degree Celsius to 330 degree Celsius. RBD Refined Olive Oil is also widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries due to its neutral flavor, stability, and moisturizing properties. The flash point of RBD Refined Olive Oil is approximately 225 degree Celsius to 240 degree Celsius. Overall, it is a versatile, stable, and mild oil suitable for culinary and industrial applications where a neutral oil is preferred.
