Scourtin Filters
The term scourtin comes from the Provençal word "escourtin," referring to the circular filter traditionally used in olive oil extraction.
Once filled with olive paste, the pouch is placed under a press. The pressure causes olive oil to flow through the scourtin, leaving the solid residue (pomace) inside.
At the Scourtinerie, we weave scourtin filters mainly for wine production but also for cider and olive oil.
Our filters—flat, split, or pouch-style—are crafted in coconut fiber, food-grade polypropylene, or a blend of both, tailored to meet the needs of every press.
How to Choose the Right Scourtin for Your Press ?
For presses with a central screw, choose a scourtin with a central hole and specify the screw diameter when placing your order.
Flat scourtins areideal for olive, fruit, apple juice/cider, and wine presses, effectively draining juice from the center to the edges during pressing.
Flat scourtins without holes: Designed for plate presses.
Flat scourtins with holes: Ideal for traditional screw presses..
Split scourtins: Simplify installation on presses with a central screw.
Pouch scourtins: Primarily used for pressing olive paste. They are also suited for cider or olive oil filtration in super presses with predetermined dimensions.
Traditional Filters
Made of 100% coconut fiber, these scourtins are rot-proof and entirely natural.
Invented in 1892 by Ferdinand Fert, who patented the first scourtin weaving machine and introduced coconut fiber into production.
Available in 4 pouch sizes and diameters ranging from 25 cm to 250 cm for flat filters.
Today, coconut pouch scourtins are often repurposed for decorative use, as table baskets or hanging lampshades.
