– Edremit –

An Olive Oil That Breathes

In Edremit, olives do not ripen by sunlight alone , they are purified by the wind.

The cool northern winds descending from Mount Ida, the mountain air drifting from Madra, and the iodine-rich sea breeze rising from the Edremit Gulf move through the olive groves all day long. This constant circulation washes the leaves, protects the fruit, and shapes the olive’s character while it is still on the branch.

The lightness and clarity of Edremit olive oil are born from this uninterrupted
breath of nature.

This is not a land where olives simply mature.
It is a land where they breathe into maturity.

A Culture Rooted in the Mountain of a Thousand Springs

Mount Ida, known as İda in antiquity, is more than a mountain.

In Homer’s epics, it is the gathering place of the gods; in mythology, the
summit where beauty and fate were once weighed. Legend says that Homer leaned
against an olive tree and the tree spoke:

“I belong to everyone and to no one.

I was here before you arrived, and I will remain after you are gone.”

This is the philosophy of Edremit olives.

Not a product of fleeting trends, but a fruit of continuity.

Archaeological discoveries in the ancient city of Adramytteion, in today’s Ören, reveal olive pits and oil jars proving that olives have been cultivated in the Edremit Gulf for at least two thousand years. Here, olives are not merely consumed, they are woven into life itself.

The Geography, Bottled

Edremit olive oil is produced exclusively from the Edremit (Ayvalık) olive variety, grown on sea-facing slopes nestled between Mount Ida and Madra Mountain. The surrounding mountains shield the groves from harsh
winds, while the humid sea breeze blends with oxygen-rich mountain air. Even in the driest years, olive trees here are protected from stress.

The result is unmistakable:
balanced fatty acids, gentle bitterness, and a distinctive fluidity.

These qualities make Edremit olive oil not only refined,
but instantly recognizable.

Lightness Is a Matter of Character

Edremit olive oil does not demand attention at first sip.

It flows across the palate almost like water, with low to medium
bitterness and pungency, finishing with a soft, subtly sweet sensation.

On the nose:

  • Green almond
  • Golden apple
  • Floral notes
  • Freshly cut grass

On the palate:

  • Gentle fruitiness
  • Balanced freshness
  • A long yet delicate finish

This olive oil does not shout.

It whispers. And that whisper is a powerful invitation for those who seek
lightness.

Purity Recognized by Europe

Edremit olive oil is a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) product, officially registered by the European Union. Following Milas olive oil, it is the second Turkish olive oil to represent Türkiye at the European Commission level.

This certification guarantees not only origin, but also purity, production discipline, and harmony with nature.

A Golden Touch for Everyday Life

In the kitchen, Edremit olive oil never hides, yet it never overwhelms.

It refreshes salads, elevates vegetables, and complements seafood with quiet
elegance. Easy on the stomach, gentle on the palate, calming to the senses.

Its strength lies not in sharpness, but in balance and
clarity.

Edremit olive oil carries the breath of Mount Ida, the light of the Aegean,
and the serenity of a culture shaped over millennia.

In every drop, there is a single promise:

Purity, just as it is.
