# DIY Olive Oil The Oil Press by I2D By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-08-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-olive-oil-the-oil-press-by-i2d References: [cooking-gadgets](http://www.cooking-gadgets.com/diy-olive-oil-press/) & [i2d.co.il](http://www.i2d.co.il/work/technology/?project=34) In my neck of the woods, olives, and especially artisan olive oil, are a big deal. Local olive expert tasters distinguish the differences between different types of olive oil the same way a sommelier would wine. There's even an [Olive Festival](http://www.pasoolivefestival.com/) in Paso Robles to celebrate this curious fruit. If I2D's Oil Press concept comes to fruition, artisan olive oil can be made closer to home than you might think. The gadget takes the same extraction process used in commercial [olive oil production](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-almaraza) facilities and breaks it down to a simple, space-conscious tool. Olives go on the round tray at the top, then descend into the grinder. From there, the pressed olive oil runs into a glass, which can be removed for use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Diy-olive-oil:** The Oil Press by I2D simplifies and miniaturizes the oil extraction process, making small-scale olive oil production accessible to consumers. - **Artisanal-oil-production:** The I2D Oil Press opens up the possibility of creating a new market for artisanal olive oil producers. - **Home-sustainability:** The I2D Oil Press facilitates an environmentally conscious, sustainable lifestyle by enabling consumers to produce their own olive oil at home. ### Where This Applies - **Food-production:** Food producers can integrate the I2D Oil Press into their production process or develop a new product line targeting home olive oil enthusiasts. - **Kitchen-appliances:** Appliance manufacturers can create new markets for small-scale kitchen appliances that enable consumers to produce professional-grade products at home. - **Sustainability:** The I2D Oil Press supports and aligns with the growing trend towards more sustainable, self-reliant living, and environmental consciousness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Squeezable Californian Olive Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chef-style-squeeze-bottle.md) - [One-Handed Olive Oil Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dress-drizz.md) - [Limited-Edition Olive Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfiltered-extra-virgin-olive-oil.md) - [Squeezable Olive Oil Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefs-bottle.md) - [Squeezable Olive Oil Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeezable-olive-oil.md) - [Oil-Infusing Countertop Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essential-oil-maker.md) - [Sprayable Liquid Oil Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oil-sprayer.md) - [Elevated Olive Oil Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agrumatomethod-olive-oil.md) - [Customizable Olive Oil Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-pour-gift-set.md)
