Olive Oil with Strength

In Milas, the olive tree is not ornamental.

It holds onto the soil, endures the sun, and exists by proving its resilience. In this land, the olive gains meaning not through elegance, but through endurance.
Milas olive oil is born from this very essence: direct, powerful, and unapologetically honest.

Known as Caria in antiquity, this region is one of the oldest settled olive landscapes in Anatolia.
Archaeological remains found in and around Milas reveal that olive oil production here has been a continuous tradition rather than a passing phase.
Stone presses, rock-cut installations, and settlement traces all point to a culture in which the olive was not merely cultivated, but embedded into daily life.


In Milas, olive oil entered the table only after it had already shaped life itself. It illuminated homes, fueled trade, healed bodies, and sustained daily nourishment. The relationship
between the olive tree and this land has never been superficial.

The Seal of Origin: Milas Olive Oil

Milas olive oil is not only a legacy of history; it is a value officially recognized and protected today.

Milas Olive Oil holds Geographical Indication status in both Türkiye and the European Union, certifying its origin and safeguarding its identity.

This designation confirms that Milas olive oil is not the result of chance, but of a precise harmony between soil, climate, and inherited local knowledge.
Every bottle carries the imprint of Milas’s geology, climate, and centuries-old production culture.

Memecik Olive: Clear and Powerful

The identity of Milas olive oil is defined by the local Memecik olive. Thick-skinned and naturally high in oil content, this variety ripens slowly under hot days and cool nights. That slowness is the key to the oil’s density and structural strength.

Memecik olives are naturally rich in polyphenols, giving Milas olive oil its pronounced bitterness, lasting pungency, and long shelf life. Milas oil does not aim to be gentle; it chooses
to be distinctive.
