FROM EDREMIT
FROM THE ANCIENT GROVES of ADRAMYTTIUM
For more than two thousand years, the sun-drenched hills of the Gulf of Edremit
have cradled one of the Mediterranean’s oldest olive legacies. Here, where the ancient Greek city of Adramyttium once thrived as a bustling Aegean port, the Ayvalık (Edremit) olive trees took root long before the Romans sailed these waters.
What began in the fertile soils of Anatolia — the very cradle of the olive,
with cultivation dating back over 8,000 years in the region — blossomed into a living tradition. Generation after generation, these resilient trees have whispered the secrets of the Aegean:
cool mountain winds from Kaz Dağları, rich volcanic soil, and the timeless rhythm of
early-harvest cold pressing that captures the fruit’s purest essence.
A LEGACY
THAT NEVER FADED
Through empires and centuries — from Hellenistic traders exporting
golden oil across the Mediterranean, to the Ottoman boom of the 19th century when
Edremit rose as the undisputed capital of Turkish olive oil — the groves endured.
Even after the great population exchanges of 1923, the knowledge and passion
remained firmly rooted in local families who had tended these same trees for lifetimes.
Today, OroEgeo continues this unbroken story: single-estate, hand-harvested olives
from the same ancient groves of Edremit, pressed with the same respect for tradition and nature. Every drop carries the golden heritage of a land that has gifted the world its
most authentic olive oil for millennia — pure, powerful, and profoundly Aegean.
