FROM THE GROVES OF ÇAMOLUK — MUĞLA
Our olive oil comes from the groves of Çamoluk, a village in Muğla surrounded by pine forest in the ancient region of Caria. The trees are tended by people we have known and trusted for years.
For us, this bottle carries more than oil: a love of nature, olives, and the old food traditions of Anatolia. The olives are harvested early and pressed the same day, so the flavour stays bright and true.
“We search among the branches for what can only be found in the roots.”
INDEPENDENT LAB ANALYSIS
Every Aylam harvest is analysed by an independent laboratory. The chart below shows how our early-harvest oil compares with typical market oils on the two numbers that matter most — polyphenols and free acidity.
Time matters. The faster olives are handled and pressed after harvest, the better the oil can keep its freshness, aroma, and natural character.
Early-harvest olives are picked by hand and cleared of leaves and branches before they leave the grove.
At the mill, the olives are washed and sorted within hours, so nothing interferes with the clean taste of the oil.
The olives are gently kneaded and pressed at 17°C — never heated — protecting aroma, character, and polyphenols.
The fresh oil settles naturally and is bottled in dark glass, ready for your table.
Aylam olive oil has a fruity taste with notes of apple, tomato, and lemon, followed by a peppery finish. It is made for simple food where good olive oil can shine.
Pour into a small bowl with sea salt, herbs, or balsamic. Serve with warm bread.
Drizzle over salads, soups, grilled vegetables, or tomatoes just before serving.
Use day-to-day in the kitchen for Mediterranean dishes, breakfast plates, and family meals.
The bottle, label, and box make it a warm gift for anyone who loves real food.
A FAMILY LABEL STORY
Aylam began as a family name on foods we were proud to share. Each label is meant to feel simple, honest, and close to the people and places behind it.
For our olive oil, that means showing the same care from grove to bottle: good olives, careful timing, clean pressing, and a bottle that belongs on the everyday table.
