Our Story

Produced with respect for nature,
and with precision

“We set out to produce olive oil of the highest quality and purity.”

On our 500-acre estate, we produce low-acid, high-polyphenol organic early-harvest olive oil from 60,000 Arbequina trees. From the very beginning, we set out with the goal of environmentally friendly, organic, and sustainable production.

We chose Arbequina for its low acidity, high polyphenol content, and balanced aroma. Harvesting it is more demanding than common Turkish varieties — we embrace that challenge for the sake of quality.

Production Process

True Early Harvest,
same day pressing

Olives are pressed on harvest day. Time from harvest to pressing is minimized — every delay leads to polyphenol loss. Storage and bottling also take place at the farm’s own facility.

i.
True Early Harvest
20% of olives are light green

For the white bottle, we harvest when only 20% of olives have turned light green; for the black bottle, before the pink in the skin reaches the flesh. Goal: the highest polyphenols, the most balanced aroma.

ii.
Cold Press
Below 23°C · Industry standard 27°C

Mechanical pressing is done below 23°C. The industry standard upper limit for cold pressing is 27°C; we stay well below this threshold. No heat, chemicals, or solvents are used.

iii.
Argon Storage
Steel tank · oxygen-free environment

Argon gas protection in steel tanks. Oxidation risk is minimized, freshness is preserved for months — bottled at day-one freshness values throughout the season.

iv.
Special Bottling
Low light transmittance

Specially designed low-light-transmittance bottles. The aroma and nutritional value from day one are preserved until they reach the consumer.

“The same soil, the same trees, the same hands. Every season, with the same care. For us, olive oil is not a product — it is a season.”

Working together
with nature

Our orchard is not just a field, but a living ecosystem. We are friends to all insects; bees and ladybugs are our production partners. We only maintain the balance.

i.
The Farm’s Own Fertilizer

Kazlar, tavuklar ve Turkeys roam freely in the orchard, enriching the soil with their droppings. No chemical fertilizer.

ii.
Plant-Based Protection

Thyme and nettle extracts instead of pesticides. We clear weeds with our geese when needed — no chemical pest control methods are used.

iii.
Rain and Sun

Irrigation with rainwater harvesting, energy with solar panels. Minimal interference with groundwater and the grid.

iv.
Wildlife Habitat

Our farm is an active habitat for foxes, hedgehogs, rabbits, and owls. Protecting natural pollination and balance is our responsibility.
