History

Midas was the king of Phryga in the 8th century BC in Anatolia. He enjoyed olive oil very much and was likely aware of its health benefits. He was the first king to include olive oil in his official menus.

" …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..!''

Midas is a family tradition for 6 generation since 1899. All of our products are produced exclusively from our own olive groves. We have two factories and a museum. We have supplied extra virgin olive oil to major marketing companies for years. And now we are offering our products to restaurants and individual consumers under our brand ''Midas''.

"... Olive is nature, health, taste... Culture for thousands of years... Life... First pressed grain, First drop, First dipped bread... Sweat of brow... Joy... Happiness... Olive is a life style... Faithfulness... Passion... Abundance... Seriousness... Olive is a tradition to us for one hundred years..."
