The olive is more than just a fruit—it is one of humanity’s oldest symbols, representing peace and abundance. From the dove that carried an olive branch back to Noah’s Ark, this ancient tree has accompanied mankind’s journey. And today, it still graces our tables with the same sacred presence.

Archaeological findings dating back thousands of years reveal that Anatolia has long been one of the centers of olive oil production. Centuries-old olive trees have not only borne fruit, but also witnessed the rise of civilizations, the shaping of trade routes, and the abundance of countless tables.

The olive is born from the harmony of soil, sun, and human labor. When harvest season arrives, it is carefully picked from the branches, then pressed—whether with traditional stone mills or modern methods—into golden oil. This process is a living testament to the ancient partnership between nature and humanity.

Olive oil does more than enrich our meals—it safeguards our health. With its abundance of antioxidants, heart-friendly profile, and natural healing power, every drop is a source of life. It is no coincidence that in Anatolian cuisine, olive oil is at the heart of every meal, from breakfast to dinner.

At Savia, our mission is to carry this millennia-old legacy into the future. By producing olive oil with sustainable methods and without compromising its purity, we bring the essence of this heritage to tables in Turkey and across the world.

For Savia, olive oil is not just flavor—it is a legacy, telling the thousand-year story of Anatolia in every drop.
