A family tradition since 1899…
Out of Edremit…
Worldwide reknowned Edremit olive groves on the base of mythological Ida mountain at the Aegean coast from which poet and artist have been inspired  for thousands of years... 
Olive oil obtained by cold pressing process on special production lines utilized as a family tradition for 6 generations since 1899... Only four hours after picking the olives in our own olive groves, they are pressed and ''Midas Extra Virgin Olive Oil'' is born...  








''...Now more than 100 years has passed since the establishment of the Sabitogullari olive oil factory in Edremit. At first, a manual hydrolik press was used. Today, much of the process is automated. Yet, there are still reminders of the past... Like a boiler which was manufactured in 1924 in Magdeburg under the mark R. Wolf. Bought in Germany, shipped to Izmir and from there transported by ox cart. Those were the days..!''
