🌱 How Do We Produce Early Harvest Olive Oil?

As rural women producers, we believe your tables should have real natural and additive-free olive oil. Because this flavor is not only healthy, but also a value inherited from our ancestors.
We pick our olives while they are greener on the branch, meaning before they are fully ripe. That is why it is called early harvest. Thus, the oil is more intense, its scent is fresher, and its aroma is stronger.

We press the olives we collect on the same day in stone mills using the cold-pressed method. We add no additives or preservatives; we obtain only pure and natural olive oil.

🫒 Unique Flavor from Hatay

The olives from which we obtain our oil come from native olive trees preserved for generations in our village. The fruit of these trees is small, but the aroma and quality of the oil within are very high. That is where the fragrant scent and intense flavor reaching your tables come from.

For us, taking care of these trees and keeping them alive is not just farming, but also a duty. Because the abundance of these lands returns to your tables as health and healing.
