"Meet the Taste of Nature"
To serve you the Taste of Nature with our olive and olive oil products, we bring all these facts together.
The soil of our olive tree garden, located in the Cukurova region, is well-drained, light sandy-loam soil, which is most suitable for growing olive trees. We are not just a manufacturer, and also a big farmer in our region. This helps us to follow all the steps of olive growing from soil to the shelves.
We take care of our trees by following international guidelines for natural olive cultivation, maintaining a Ph level suitable for olive trees with qualified irrigation methods and carrying out regular pruning and tree care requirements with our professional team. We prioritise the long-term health of our olive trees and the land they grow on, using sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
Besides, we share our growing knowledge with our farmers to help them yielding better crop. We believe that the farmers are one of the most important ring of olive and olive oil production chain.
We imply the Good Agricultural Practices for on-farm production and post-production processes. This results in maintaining agricultural production without harming human, animals and environmental health. We provide protection in natural resources to minimize environmental impact. With this certification, producers protect natural resources, ensure food safety, protect worker health and gain market advantage by adopting sustainable agricultural practices. Good Agricultural Practices suggests the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Integrated Crop Management (ICM) techniques together in production.
We aim to harvest at the right time with the highest quality. Every olive variety has different charactarestis in terms of ripeness, softness and taste. While some of them needs to be picked by hand, some of them can be picked by our harvesting machines.
Some of them needs to be picked at peak ripeness to prevent damage on the fruit and preserve delicate flavors. And some of them needs to be harvested before the olive reach to maturity.
We inform our farmers for the harvesting time for the varieties they have on regular basis.
Once the olives are harvested, we transport them to our facilities and process them in maximum 8 hours to ensure the highest quality and the freshest taste. We provide logistics to our farmers to reach us as early as possible once they have the harvest.
Once the olives reach to our facilty, we seperate them based on their variety, maturity and region before processing.
So we can ensure the quality by obtaining a charactarestic taste from each variety which gives us the opportunity to follow up their progress during storage time.
Olive oil is actually an olive juice and the enemy of the olive oil is heat and time. So we stock our olive oils in stainless steel tanks in our air conditioned facilities to keep the taste fresh and preserve the quality .
Olive oils of different varieties and different regions are stocked in different tanks until packaging based on our chemical analysis and sensory analiysis of our tasting experts. Our main facts for sensory analysis of olive juice are their fruitness, bitterness and pungency.
To obtain the optimum taste from each blending, we follow up the progress of each variety during storage time and review the data we have from the past for each variety. We decide to do blending blending based on each regions’ demand that we work with. While some of the regions expect a robust taste, some of them expects a soft taste. So our experts make the blendings based on 3 facts.
3- If the result is expected by our experts, we create a recipe based on the results of sensory and chemical
analyses of that blended olive oil. This enables us to supply olive oils with sustainable quality.
We value farmers and olive oil consumers. We believe that the qualified olive oil production and demand for qualified olive oil can increase by sharing our knowledge and experiences with them. So we organise Olive Oil tasting activities for them to raise their awareness about the olive oil quality facts.
