In ancient times, civilizations were established only on fertile lands. Because the human population was few and the land was abundant. Like the Lydians who took to the stage of history in the 7th century BC.
The greatest treasure of the Lydians… Olive oil.
What distinguishes Olidya Organic Olive Oil from other olive oils is a rare geographical feature. The extra flavor of the unique sea air of the Aegean, blowing from a natural strait formed by the geographical structure of the mountains rising perpendicular to the sea, meets the fertile soil in Lydia Valley.
Olidya Organic Olive Oil is obtained by pressing olives collected from 12,000 olive trees on 500 acres of private land estate, planted in 2001 and grown with care.
Our olive trees have been cultivated under the ICEA and ORSER Organic Agriculture Certificate since 2011. Our olive groves are irrigated only as much as they need with the environmentally friendly drip method that protects nature.
Since 2013, Our olive oil has been produced in a 1000 m2 high-tech production facility. In order to achieve the best quality, only mechanical extraction methods are used.
n the harvest months of October and November olives are hand picked according to the maturity stage of the olives. The collected olives are pressed within a maximum of 4 hours. The temperature of the whole extraction process does not exceed 28°C, which is called cold pressing. Once extracted olive oil is stored in chrome tanks without contact with light, heat and air.
