Olive
press for the extraction of olive oil. The olive oil along with
the olive juice is gathered in a stone basin. Then, being lighter,
the olive oil rises to the top layer where it is collected.
The movement of the press is
achieved through a system of two wooden beams which are connected
to the olive press with a rope. The vertical beam (mpotzergatis)
is rotated with the help of a smaller horizontal beam (pasouli).
