Is there anywhere locally that I can take olives to produce the oil? If so is there a minimum weight you need to have and is it expensive? Look forward to receiving any advice.
Go to your local cooperative

For comparison: Here at Elche we have a press that presses our own oil from at least 200kg. For smaller quantities, it is added in a collective pressing. Pressing costs €0.20 per kilogramme of olives. The yield is about 13 litres of oil from 100 kg of olives.

I go to Culebrón on the road to Pinoso. There is no minimum amount, I asked the other day when I was there.
This year my rendimiento was high (oil content) so for every 19kg of olives I got 5 litres of oil. My neighbours rendimiento was lower as they have a different variety of olives so they needed 25kg of olives to make 5 litres of oil.
I forgot to take one of my buckets so I took it in another day. It only weighed 10kg but they still weighed it in. You can take cash or any products from the shop if you don’t want it all in oil. Although the cash return is very low.

Thank you this is really good information. Can you take them in any container or sacks?

In anything you like. They are poured into a big hopper in the ground. Some folk have bags or buckets or loose in the boot. The blokes are great and help you unload. I’ve been going there for 8 years, it’s brilliant.
Olive collection is open Tuesday-Friday. When you get there (you’ll see it from the road (it says Almazar I think) you go to the left to deliver you olives. You’ll need your NIE parcela number and polygono number. When they are weighed you will be given a slip of paper you then take to the office opposite the shop in the yard which would be on your right if you were driving in. You don’t have to visit the office or collect your oil on the same day.

Also I forgot to add cost. I only got 210kg this year which is low for me. That cost me 54€ in total.
l wanted oil, not goods, and I was slightly short so I paid a bit extra to end up with 11x5 litres.
Therefore it cost me just under 5€ for each 5 litres. They are selling it at 42€ for 5 litres at the moment in the shop so it’s worth doing.
It’s beautiful oil.

Thanks, when you say Parcela and poligono numbers, do you mean the cadastral ref? Sorry only just moved here so have no idea.

Mine is in my Escritura, house deeds. I’m not sure if it’s the cadastral ref. It probably is. Polygono is the zone you are in. Parcela is the parcel of land you are on. Maybe someone can help re where to find it other than in your Escritura. Sorry.
