Olives have been both a source of food and a symbol of peace and hope for humanity since the dawn of civilization. Zeytursan meticulously manages the journey of olives, starting from the shadow of the olive trees until it reaches your tables. We will discover how an olive turns into a delicious product thanks to Zeytursan’s meticulous processes.
Olive Trees
The journey of olives begins with olive trees embraced by the warm sun and fertile soil of the Mediterranean climate. By adopting sustainable agricultural practices, Zeytursan ensures that trees grow healthy and produce high-quality fruits. Each olive tree is grown patiently over the years and protected for generations.
Harvest Time
The next stop on the journey of olives is the harvest season. The harvest time for olives generally falls during the autumn and winter months. Harvest time may vary depending on the type of olive trees, climatic conditions, and region. But in general, it can start in September and last until November.
Olives are generally collected when they are green or when they begin to ripen. Green olives are usually harvested early, while black olives are picked after they are more ripe. Harvesting is usually done manually or with mechanical tools. While manual harvesting can be done by shaking or hand-picking olive branches, mechanical harvesters are often used in large-scale production. The harvested olives are then processed and used to produce oil or obtain other olive oil products.
Machining: Conversion to Quality
The collected olives are transported to Zeytursan’s modern facilities. Here, olives are sorted, washed, and subjected to necessary processing. Processes such as pickling, drying, or oil extraction are carefully selected according to the type of olives and the requirements of the final product. Zeytursan’s expert team meticulously applies quality control standards at every stage.
Packaging and Distribution
Processed and quality-controlled olives enter Zeytursan’s hygienic packaging processes. The packaging is designed to preserve the freshness of the products and guarantee quality until they reach your tables. Afterwards, the olives are shipped to local and international markets through Zeytursan’s reliable distribution network.
