The Journey of Every Drop Begins with the Harvest...

At Masmana, the harvest is more than the season when olives are gathered from the branches. It is the most special time of year, when months of effort, patience, and care finally bear fruit.

Our groves are monitored regularly throughout the year. The development of the trees, the condition of the fruit, and the ideal time for harvesting are all carefully assessed.

The Character of Early Harvest

We harvest our olives during the green stage, before they reach full ripeness. Early-harvest Kilis Yağlık olives offer a distinctive sensory profile, characterised by vibrant fruitiness, balanced bitterness, and a pronounced peppery sensation in the throat.

Determining the right harvest time is one of the most important factors influencing the aroma and natural character of the olive oil.

A Meticulous Harvesting Process

The harvest begins in the early hours of the morning. The olives are carefully gathered to avoid damaging either the fruit or the tree and are placed in clean, suitable crates.

Great care is taken to prevent the harvested olives from remaining in contact with the ground, becoming crushed, or waiting too long before reaching the production facility.

Processed on the Same Day

The harvested olives are transported to our production facility as quickly as possible and processed within the same day.

This rapid process helps preserve the freshness of the fruit and the distinctive aroma of the Kilis Yağlık olive. At Masmana, quality begins the moment the olive leaves the branch.

Every Harvest Is a Legacy

Every harvest represents the continuation of the production culture inherited from our family, our respect for the olive-growing heritage of Kilis, and the value we hope to pass on to future generations.

The green fruitiness, balanced bitterness, and pronounced peppery finish found in Masmana olive oil are the result of this meticulous journey that begins in the grove.
