SELECTION Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Made from our selected olives, it has a most exquisite taste” Selection extra virgin olive oil is evidence that olive oil is not merely oil. Selection olives are mainly early harvested olives which are hand picked with utmost care. After the picking and before the process, the Selection olives are sorted whereby only the olives larger than 16 mm. and only ones without any damage are used. The damaged ones are discarded unlike many other producers in the region, the olives are crushed with disc type of crusher and under cold conditions. The oil produced is then stored under a nitrogen enriched environment to prevent oxidation and then bottled unfiltered when needed. Organoleptic Chracteristic: The Sienna Municipality Taste Evaluation Commission has described Selection as slightly fruity, with an appetising taste and has accepted this olive oil in the Extra Virgin Category. And the jury of the Northern Olive Oil Show in Australia has described it as having a good green banana aroma , reasonably firm palate with moderate flavours and bitterness. Chemical Characteristic: Maximum acidity of 0.5 %, peroxide less than 8 meg02/kg. , Vit E level max 197 mg/kg. at the production time. These values are not stable, even under best preservative conditions values might deteriorate by time. Therefore, please utilise before the expiration date.
FLAVORED OLIVE OIL
Olive oils with Tangerine, Lemon, Orange, Bergamot, Bay Leaf, Rosemary, Garlic, Tea, Red Pepper, Basil flavours: The flavours are not infused into the oil but instead the flavouring agent; fruit or herbs are used together with olives to produce flavoured oil. We would like to introduce you some of our flavoured oils: Mandarin have been described at the Northern Olive Oil Show held in South Australia in 2001 as “Infused oil, Fresh citruses infused character overlaying pure oil.” The judges were impressed with the fact that infusion had not been used to disguise inferior oil and classed it as “Commended".
ORGANIC
Laleli's harvests organic olives from “Kucukkuyu” orchards. This location is on the most north-western
end of the Edremit bay area and on south west facing the slopes of, “Ida” mountains range. Olive tree Olea europeae
adremittion is endemic to the region and has been propagated with natural means and by man for centuries. The steep slopes
of the region, and the lack of technology at the time made it rather difficult to create an organized hand sown plantation.
Therefore through antiquity grafting over the wild grown Olea europeae has been the preferred method for plantation. The polyclonal
nature of the region creates natural pest resistance and makes these southern slopes of Ida mountain range an ideal location
for organic olive production. Moreover Ida mountain range forms a geographical border line between the Edremit bay area and
Canakkale, also known as Dardanelles. Kucukkuyu is tied to Canakkale governorship which does not allow aerial fumigation as
the rest of the bay area. Within the absence of aerial fumigation, and the polyclonal nature of the area, it was possible
to establish certified organic orchards.

This oil is full of fresh olive taste and antioxidants because it has not been filtered. However, it is perfectly clarified by double centrifugation in cold environment and is then left to sedimentation under Nitrogen in stainless steel/Inox tanks.
