Six hours between branch and bottle.

01

Pick at first light

Green Memecik and Ayvalık olives leave the branch cool, firm, and fragrant.

02

Mill before noon

The fruit crosses the grove, not the country, and meets the press within six hours.

03

Let the oil settle

It rests in steel, then moves into dark glass while the aromas are still vivid.

Follow the first six hours

The table is part of the pressing.

In harvest season, the mill does not close for lunch. Bread, tomatoes, herbs, and the first cloudy oil arrive at the same long table.

Adopt a tree. Follow its seasons.

Choose an old tree on the hillside and follow its year from winter pruning to the first press. We will share field notes, an invitation to the grove, and the story behind its harvest.

A relationship with a place, not another thing to buy.
