Memecik Monovarietal

This is a sharper, more assertive Karataş oil among its range. It tastes green and fresh, with herbal notes up front, almond through the middle and a peppery finish that stays with you.

An ideal oil if you like one with some grip. The bitterness and pungency make it especially good as a finishing oil over tomatoes, bitter leaves, beans, grilled vegetables, fresh cheese or bread where you want the oil to bring its game to the plate.

This line is sourced from mountain-village groves around Akyaka at 500 to 870 metres.

Oil Character

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare. The oil is bottled without filtration and may retain natural moisture and fine olive solids.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

Olio nuovo and unfiltered describe different things, but both reward careful storage and prompt use.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Akyaka, Muğla, Türkiye, giving it a specific farm origin.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originAkyaka, Muğla, TürkiyeSingle estate
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationHand picked
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Memecik as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.

Release dataMemecik
Farming & certification

Growing choices

The grove is listed as relying on rainfall rather than routine irrigation.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing

Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
