The olive is referred to as "the immortal tree". It symbolizes wealth, rebirth, peace, and goodwill.
Olive starts as green. The olives harvested during early stages are rich in flavor, bitterness, and healthy components. As they remain on the branch, they turn shiny black in color. Black olives are suitable for olive oil production through mature harvesting.
The most important feature of olive is its high content of Oleuropein. Additionally, it contains high levels of Vitamins A and E. It strengthens memory, protects the heart, regulates blood pressure, and helps reduce bad cholesterol.
The olive tree plays a significant role in reducing carbon emissions. The olive oil production process is nearly waste-free, making it an example of 100% sustainability for both olives and olive oil.
The number of olive trees in Türkiye has exceeded 170 million, with an annual olive oil production of approximately 160 thousand tons.
Although olive oil production is mainly concentrated in the North and South Aegean regions, there is also significant production in the Mediterranean and Southeastern Anatolia regions.
Olive and olive trees may face several challenges soon due to climate crisis.
Let's raise awareness about olive and olive trees and do everything in our power to preserve this heritage.
