STORIES from ANATOLIA

We cultivate our olives in Western Anatolia, near the shores of the Aegean Sea, in a land that saw many civilisations prosper and a region where the olive tree was cultivated for millennia...

We work in two different sites. The first is in Manisa province, the groves are established on rugged hills, crossed by the once mighty Gediz river. Here, the Lydians (1200 - 545 BC) established their city of Saittai.

The second is in Ayvalık, where our centennial trees are of the Ayvalık variety. The Edremit Bay, is in viewing distance. The region is famous for its long history of craftmanship around the olive production.
