Heritage in Every Drop
Reflecting history and culture in every drop, our olive oil carries not only the heritage of Ayvalık but also the heritage of our family, passing these values on to us from generation to generation. Our family's connection with olive trees and their entrance into the magical world of olives has a history and story of over 100 years; our family's story begins with the history of our Republic in 1923-1924. With the Exchange Agreement signed after the Treaty of Lausanne, our family, who lived on the island of Lesbos, had to migrate to Ayvalık. In return for the assets they had to leave behind on the island of Lesbos, upon Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's order not to victimize his citizens, our family was given olive groves in Ayvalık and the surrounding Gulf regions, and thus, the greatest resource of our family, who began to sustain their lives on the lands of Ayvalık, became the greatest treasure of these lands, the olive trees. Olive trees, also known as the tree of life, have become of vital importance to our family, as have many other Lesbos immigrant families who share the same fate. In fact, they continued their longing and devotion to the land they were born in by holding on to these olive groves and taking root there. Later on, our great-great-grandfather Nafiz organized the first cooperative activities together with the olive growers in Ayvalık and its surroundings.
As representatives of the 5th generation, we established our olive oil brand in order to evaluate the importance, value and history of these lands that we inherited in a way that is worthy of the story of our olive trees. Our biggest mission in the establishment phase of our brand is to protect this deep-rooted heritage of our family and to ensure that these values are passed on to future generations in the best way possible.
