The Power of Memecik
Native to Turkey’s southwest, Memecik olives are known for their high oil content and intense flavor. Rich in antioxidants and naturally resistant to drought, these resilient fruits produce a bold, green-golden oil with hints of artichoke, almond, and fresh herbs.
This isn’t just any olive oil — this is Memecik, at its purest.
In Detail
Memecik olive oil is deep yellow-green in color and offers a medium-intensity fruity flavor with rich sensory notes of citrus, orange, almond, and bay leaf. Its high antioxidant content creates a gentle tingling sensation in the throat without sharpness. Memecik has a subtle bitterness that doesn’t overwhelm the palate. The Memecik olive is especially rich in α-tocopherol (Vitamin E) and phenolic compounds, making it highly valuable for human health due to its antioxidant and nutritional properties.
Memecik’s favorite climate conditions are uniquely found in the air and soil of Milas, where this fertile environment was discovered centuries ago and prioritized for olive cultivation. The region has been known since antiquity for producing high-quality olive oil. Olive oil production has been passed down through generations, turning olive farming into a cultural heritage. Native to the Southern Aegean, the Memecik olive thrives in clay-sandy, calcareous, and alluvial soils, yielding low-acidity oils that reflect the richness of the land.
