Ancient Sardes, Capital of Lydia
Sardes was the capital of ancient Lydia, the place credited with striking the world's first coins. Someone worked out how to stamp a fixed value onto a piece of metal, and trade was never quite the same. Olive trees were already growing on this ground long before that.
We pick from our own groves around Salihli and press the same day. No heat, no shortcuts. Just olives, presses, and a ceiling of about 27°C that keeps the oil's aroma and polyphenols intact.
Olive oil doesn't need reinventing. It needs doing properly, then getting to your table with everything that made it good still in the bottle.
