A rooted land
Didim is the land once known as Didyma, famous for the Temple of Apollo, and since the days of Ionia the olive has been the way of life here. The groves of Akköy grow within that heritage, in the shade of century-old trees. Here an olive is a memory before it is a product: a labor handed from grandfather to grandchild, harvest after harvest.
Our story
Olivinium was born under the leadership of Engin İlgüzer, an entrepreneur from Akköy in Didim, so that the labor of the producers in his village could carry its own name and reach the world. We shaped the idea by talking with local producers and institutions, and it was received with interest.
Under the roof of Tekiş Tarım we carry the agri-food experience of more than 30 years of flour milling. Responding to strong customer demand, and with support from TKDK and government incentives, we invested in olive oil: in 2020 we built a hygienic, modern, continuous-system facility that processes 140 tons of olives a day on a 2,000 m² site.
At every stage of production, right up to the moment the label goes on the bottle, Engin İlgüzer and the whole Tekiş Tarım team stand over our customer's order. Your order is not a number; it is a job we know and follow closely.
Our mission
Olive growing in this region reaches back to ancient times, and we decided to live that heritage and keep it alive. We opened our doors to those who want to source oil under their own brand, because we want everyone to taste the oil of the special olives of this land. Under your brand or under the Olivinium label, may the oil reach every corner of the world. That way we win, and those who buy from us leave satisfied.
Harvest time
Olives fall onto nets spread under the trees and are collected into crates by hand and with small tools.
Three things that set us apart
Olives from our village
The oil comes from the olives of producers in Akköy, and we help their labor become a brand.
Verifiable quality
The oil is analyzed in a TÜRKAK-accredited laboratory authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and we share a report for every batch.
We are on the job
From production to the application of the label, Engin İlgüzer and the Tekiş Tarım team stay on the customer's order.
Trademark registration
Our brand is registered with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.
