This product range is an adventure that continues to develop in order to convey my experiences to you in an area where I feel passionate. Thus, we present what we want to do with these first class olive oil products in Assos to our valued customers

My grandfather was 101 when he passed, my grandmother is 96 when she say goodbye to us, and average life expectancy locally is among the highest in the world. I have always believed that the secret of this long life comes from olive oil, and I have confirmed through research that most of it comes from feeding with olive oil. The olive oil obtained from the olives collected by hand in the region by natural means and cold pressure in our village was a source of healing with its naturalness. Here, Assos Gurme, which I see from my elders, which we call '' Aegean sun in the bottle'', we have been a guest to your table for more than half a century with our olive oils. The product range of our brand is based on these principles.

All countries, cultures and religions have their traditions, rituals which are passed down from generation to generation, and whilst maybe not as relevant today, hark back to a different time when they were especially important.

One tradition you see among many rural Turkish farmers is the practice of bequeathing a number of olive trees to each of their children on their birth. The number is undefined, but it is usually the same number to each sibling, independent of whether it is girl or boy. They may be given by the parents or grandparents, but are designed to stress the continuity of the family through the trees, which may last for centuries.

These may be newly planted olive trees, but are more usually established trees which are already producing fruit and hence olive oil. The symbolism is that the children will never want for either the fruit of the tree or the oil produced from it, and if the number of trees bequeathed is substantial then it provides the child with a small income annually as they are growing up.

It is a tradition we in the Keskinoglu family wholeheartedly agree with. Each of our three children have been given a group of olive trees as their birthright, and it is from these trees that we present to you Dunya, Biricik and Fevzi’s olive oil. They get the income from the sale of their oil, and from that give a donation to their favourite charity. We believe it encourages responsibility and the pact humans have with nature

Assos Gurme olive oil product range, based on the experience of the old, and technology of the today we combine. We are working harder each new day to offer a combination of traditional naturalness and that fabulous taste. I believe that we have achieved this goal as a result of our efforts and workings and I am very proud of it personally.

Enjoy the best olive oil in the world and certainly the most passionately done!
