How Does Joila Olive Oil Taste?

What’s Really Inside Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil Bottles?

For months, we focused on the exterior of our olive oil bottles—colorful, eye-catching designs that instantly stood out. But now, let’s take a closer look at what really matters: what’s inside these bottles? 👀

As it's our own product, we’ve always been cautious not to overly praise it by saying things like, “It tastes amazing” or “It’s unlike anything else.” After all, taste is subjective. But last month at İzmir Gastrofest, countless people had the chance to try our extra virgin olive oil, and the feedback spoke for itself. A Greek chef used only our oil in his workshop, and others followed his lead. Guests kept coming over to say, “Your olive oil tastes completely different!” — a clear sign we’re on the right track.

Why Is Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil So Unique? The Ayvalık Olive Advantage

The secret lies in both the type of olive and our traditional production methods. Made exclusively from Ayvalık olives, our extra virgin olive oil has a fruity, slightly sweet aroma and leaves no burning sensation in the throat. This smooth and flavorful profile makes it the ideal choice for chefs and food lovers who prioritize taste in the kitchen.

Whether you're cooking or drizzling it over salads, the unique aroma of our oil brings a noticeable depth to every dish.

Early Harvest & Cold-Pressed: A Healthier, Higher-Quality Olive Oil

Our extra virgin olive oil is both early harvest and cold-pressed, which significantly enhances its quality. Early harvest means the olives are picked before they’re fully ripe—this results in less oil but much higher levels of antioxidants. These powerful compounds help fight free radicals in the body and support overall health.

The Cold Press Method & Its Health Benefits

Cold pressing preserves the natural nutrients of the olives. By pressing them at low temperatures, we retain the oil’s polyphenols and antioxidants—making it a staple for health-conscious individuals. You can even enjoy a morning shot of our cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, or add it to your smoothies for a nutritious boost!
