Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Hand-picked by our own team around Ephesus Selçuk, İzmir and delivered for the first press of the morning. The paste never goes above 27°C and free acidity stays at or below 0.8% — the line that defines extra virgin. What reaches the tin is an oil that keeps the bitterness and peppery finish of fresh olives.

The harvest
The First Press of the Morning
We do not buy olives on the open market. We work groves around Ephesus Selçuk under seasonal harvest-lease agreements with their owners; our own team picks the fruit by hand and takes it to pressing facilities we inspect before the season opens.
Deliveries are timed for the first press of the day, when the fruit is freshest and the line is still cool. From branch to tin takes less than 24 hours.
27°C
MAXIMUM PASTE TEMPERATURE
Why we hold the temperature down
Heat during malaxation releases more oil, but it breaks down the phenolic compounds and “K” values that give extra virgin oil its bitterness, pungency and protective value. We accept the lower yield of pressing at 27°C or below, because that character is exactly what our customers are paying for.
