Terroir comes from French and describes the interplay of soil, climate, location and human work. The term comes from winemaking but applies just as well to olive oil. The same variety tastes different in two places.
Sun, rain, altitude, soil type and closeness to the sea shape how an olive ripens and which aromas it develops. Our Ölich Olive Oil comes from one single region: Edremit, between the Kaz Dağları and the Aegean.
