Known for its intense flavor and naturally high polyphenol potential, Memecik olive oil is an excellent choice for those who enjoy robust and expressive extra virgin olive oils.

Our Memecik olives are carefully harvested and cold-pressed in our own mill to preserve their natural aroma, freshness and nutritional qualities. The result is a vibrant olive oil with a strong fruity aroma, noticeable bitterness and a clean peppery finish.
