Welcome to Dem Green, a boutique olive oil producer nestled in the picturesque Ayvalık district of Turkey, where lush olive groves stretch as far as the eye can see. Our story is one of passion and determination, spearheaded by a visionary female entrepreneur who pours her heart and soul into every aspect of our business.
As we embarked on this journey, it became evident that women played a central role in Ayvalık’s olive industry. Inspired by this realization, we proudly crafted our concept around the slogan ‘Handpicked by Women of Ayvalık’, celebrating the invaluable contributions of these adept hands to our craft.
Our brand identity, steeped in tradition, quality, and sustainability, reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence. Ayvalık, with its charming coastal municipality and scenic vistas, provides the perfect backdrop for our endeavor. Linked to Cunda Island by a causeway and surrounded by the enchanting Ayvalık Islands archipelago, our home is truly a haven for olive cultivation.
The journey of olives, meticulously gathered by the skilled hands of Ayvalık’s women, mirrors the cycle of nature itself. From the vibrant green of spring to the lustrous black of ripeness, each olive embodies the essence of our land and culture. Harvested during the peak months of October and November, these olives are transformed into precious oil through a meticulous process that preserves their quality and flavor.
At Dem Green, we recognize the indispensable role played by our women in this process. Their dedication ensures that each olive is harvested at the pinnacle of ripeness, resulting in a product of unparalleled quality. We nurture our olive trees with care, employing sustainable practices that not only enhance productivity but also preserve the environment for generations to come.
As stewards of Ayvalık’s olive culture, we take pride in our commitment to sustainability and quality craftsmanship. Join us in celebrating the rich heritage of this timeless tradition, one bottle of exquisite olive oil at a time. Welcome to Dem Green, where excellence is not just a goal, but a way of life.
