The Vegetable Fruit Press is known as a Torchietto in Italy. Torchiettos are a tool commonly used for pressing soft foods like eggplants (jardiniere), vegetables, nut milk (preblended), pressing cheese, and juicing fruits, and vegetables. Fruits with pits and hard objects are not recommended. Torchiettos specialize in removing liquids from solids, these units boast a solid threaded shaft & bolted heavy-duty posts to support the crank wheel. A solid steel basket holds a perforated basket, and liquid drains thru the drainpipe fitted with a rubber spout for easy draining.

The torchietto have a galvanized treatment resulting in a  protective coating on the steel. This results in long-lasting, low maintenance, robust build, and professional results. 

Simply put your vegetables/fruits into the perforated basket and use the solid turning handle to compress liquids out. The dried vegetables or fruit will stay within the perforated basket and all liquid will drain into the solid steel pail, and out through the drainpipe.

Used For

Designed for the pressing of eggplants, fruits, tomatoes and more. To prevent pulp/seeds we suggest using a cheese cloth if seeds are smaller than 1.9mm. Torchietto is a tool commonly used for pressing eggplants (jardiniere), vegetables, nut milk, pressing cheese, and juicing fruits and vegetables. To extract the most juice from your batch of fruits/vegetables it is recommended to pulse or cut the food into small pieces. Fruits with pits and hard objects are not recommended.*

Manufacturing Process

Scratches/small dents may appear at the bottom of the basket, due to the nature of how the basket sits in the press. This is not a manufacturer defect.

Use Guidelines

Turning the handle moves the pressing plate downwards. Do not apply excess pressure by forcing the pressing plate. Enough pressure is created by simply turning the handle.

Cleaning/Maintenance Guidelines

Hand wash. Clean and store in a dry place. You can apply light coating of vegetable oil on the shaft over time when needed.
