So what is the difference of our boutique machine?

We use the word boutique for our machine, which is produced only for cold pressing, works between 17-23 degrees and certain parts have been modified to reduce contact with air...

Why not lithograph?

When we started this job, we thought a lot about whether we should make lithographs. We gave up when we saw that contact with air causes loss of polyphenols in lithography. We had the chance to minimize air contact with this type of machine.

Why not hot pressed? Why don't we use a large continuous system?

Olives entering the machine are washed more carefully compared to large systems, and it is clear from which olive the oil sent to the machine comes from. There is no possibility of interference. At each pressing, the machine is cleaned and the squeezing of the new type of olives is continued. Therefore, the oil we squeeze is not likely to mix with the oil that has been squeezed before. From the oil that is inevitably squeezed before you from large continuous systems, oil remains inside the system and in the hoses. Therefore, collect your olives as well as you want, if a poorly picked olive is squeezed before you, it will mix with your oil and spoil your oil.

According to the Turkish Food Codex Olive Oil and Pomace Oil communiqué , the expression "cold pressed" can be used for extra virgin or natural first olive oils obtained by percolation or centrifugation of olive paste below 27 ˚C." says. In large continuous systems, the temperature of the machine is already above this degree, squeezing with cold water does not cold press the oil. In large continuous systems, 1 kg oil is obtained from 3-4 kg olives from mature harvest olives pressed at 40 degrees, while 1 kg oil is obtained from 6-7 kg olives in cold pressed early harvest. This rate may differ according to factors such as olive type and region. Therefore, in terms of price, it is more expensive than hot pressing and mature harvest, because the oil yield rate is lower. However, the oil obtained is a more valuable oil in terms of health. Since it is cold pressed, the beneficial components (polyphenols) in it can be kept in the oil at the maximum level.

Sometimes they ask us; what is your difference… In summary; In the philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka, we are after living trees. We are chasing trees that grow in unmedicated gardens and that have struggled to survive. Sometimes we have difficulty in reaching the trees we see close, and sometimes we can't find a flat to build a ladder to reach the branches of the trees we touch.. . We go by boat to the bays without roads... 100 kg per day. that we work without rebelling against the 25-30 kg brought by the teams that can collect . 10 kg of grafted trees on flat land. While 3-4 liters of oil are taken from the product, 1 liter of oil is used when appropriate. We had to squeeze more than 50 kg of olives for oil...
