How to make olive oil

The olive oil is an important aspect of many cooks. It has a lot of benefits which are important for our health. Producing the olive oil is so difficult but it you follow these steps it will be a lot easier.

First of all the olives are harvested and it starts as early as September. After that they will be collected by hands or sticks in nets in between September and December. Secondly the olives are run through a washer to eliminate any remaining impurities before they are crushed. Thirdly the olives are crushed by granite stones within 24-36 hours of picking. After that the olive paste which is obtained is layered on nylon or mats by putting it under pressure. Finally the liquid which is produced by the pressing is put through a centrifugal separator to separate water and impurities from the oil.

As you can see it is hard to produce olive oil. However if you follow the above steps it will be so much easier than before.

compare and contrast (UAE and Brunei)

Many people love to spend their summer in a beautiful place. However it is hard for many people to decide where this beautiful place is. So in this essay I will compare and contrast two beautiful places which I encourage people to go to. The two countries are the UAE and Brunei.

There are a lot of similarities between Brunei and UAE. The first similarity is the religion. Both of the two countries are Islamic countries and both of them have hereditary monarchies.The second similarity is that both of them have a lot of oil and gas industries and that is the reason for being rich. The third similarity is that they both have big national airlines and modern airports.

Although there are a lot of similarities there are also many differences. The first difference is in the design of the cars. In Brunei the cars are designed as a right-hand drive while in the UAE it is left-hand drive. Another major difference is that in Brunei the climate is wonderful and there a lot of beautiful forests and nature. As a result the houses were built on tall pillars. However in the UAE the weather is so hot and the houses were built on the ground.

In conclusion the differences outweigh the similarities.In my opinion if you want a place to relax go to a beautiful nature place so it is better to go to Brunei.
