Havaalani Olive Oil from Turkey

After our catalog went to print, we learned that the Ayvalik Olive Oil will not be available in 2025 due to the quality of the 2024 harvest. We apologize for the disappointment and hope to bring this oil back in the future. In the meantime, check the rest of our olive oil selection for some delicious alternatives. 

Ayvalik, a seaside region on Turkey’s Aegean coast, is renowned for its olives—so much so that this olive oil is made exclusively from the region’s eponymous olives. Hand-picked Ayvalik olives are pressed within a few hours for a smooth, buttery extra virgin olive oil that is typical of the light, lovely coastal flavors we associate with our old standby Roi olive oil from the Italian Riviera.

The flavors here are gently green and grassy with light vegetal notes and a mild bitterness. Balanced and approachable, a drizzle of this oil will liven up almost any dish without being overpowering. Especially excellent with fish.

Note that instead of the word "Ayvalik," the label on this oil reads "Havaalani" which means "airport" in Turkish.
