In addition to quick processing, Edremit Zeytinya producers pay attention to the extraction temperature 27 C, malaxation time 45 min, and storage temperature 18 C, minimum or no contact to air.
Specificity of the product It has an aroma of one or more fruity green almond, golden apple, flowers, green grass notes which is also described as reminiscent of the scent of spring flowers. When compared to other olive oils processed in the southern Aegean Edremit Zeytinya has a low -tocopherol 150-250 mg/kg and total phenolic compounds 100-200 mg/kg content but high total desmetylsterols campesterol, clerosterol, -sitosterol, 5-avenastero,l and apparent -sitosterol 2 000-3 000 mg/kg content. Owing to the quick processing, Edremit Zeytinya has a low free fatty acid content 0,8 % as oleic acid.
Causal link Edremit Zeytinya is characterized by the presence of the Edremit variety, which is well established in the area and accounts for almost all its olive trees. The dominant presence of this variety contributes to the chemical composition of the oil.
The winds coming from Kaz and Madra Mountains have a cooling effect on olive trees on the slopes causing slow ripening of olive grains and the development of thin but resistant skin. Soil composition with a high level of clay keeps olive trees moist. Both annual falls and snowfalls provide sufficient irrigation requirements, which lowers the risk of drought and results in fully developed olive fruit. These conditions result in a specific thin body and aroma green almond, golden apple, flowers, green grass of Edremit Zeytinya.
Owing to the micro-climatic conditions arising from topography, the maturation of olive grain takes place slower than those grown in the southern Agea or Mediterranean region, yielding Edremit Zeytinya with its low -tocopherol and low total phenolic compounds content but high total desmetylsterols campesterol, clerosterol, -sitosterol, 5-avenasterol and apparent -sitosterol when compared to counterparts.
