This quantity of oil (the upper layer) resulted from our first two pressings. Subsequent pressings produced a somewhat greater volume of oil. There is about 4 times as much water as oil. We used about 7 gallons of olives for two pressings. The 7 gallons of olives produced about 4 gallons of paste. The paste produced about 2 quarts of oil. Quite a lot of raw material and manpower for the end result...but it is a lot of fun (except for the clean-up.)
