I have recently made some home pressed olive oil but it is quite cloudy and I wanted to filter it so it will keep longer and be a bit more pleasing to the palate and the eye. I initially used a muslin (ham) bag in a steel colander over another steel bowl and weighted down with 70kg of gym weights to press. I was wondering if it is effective to try running it through paper coffee filters to get rid of the fine particles?

I have picked and processed hundreds of kilos of olives for oil. I store the cloudy oil in plastic water bottles in a dark cupboard and wait. The sediment will fall and then you just drain off the clear oil. The remaining oil with the sediment in it I use for tools, hinges etc and other DIY uses.
