Masmana

OUR STORY

We Have Been Producing Olive Oil Since 1867.

Masmana Olive Oils is a family business. We take our brand name from Masmana, which means "the place where soap and olive oil are produced" in the Kilis region. Is it possible to forget the smell of olives from these places where we went to squeezing olives with our father in our childhood? We are fourth generation farmers with nomadic family origins in Kilis. We are working on 100% organic and natural extra virgin olive oils.

Our mission is to be the leading olive oil producer in Kilis, to produce quality organic and natural extra virgin olive oil that is fresh, healthy and enhances the flavors of your tables, and to work diligently for this.

Our olive oil story begins four generations ago. Looking at the 4,000-year-old olive pits found in Kilis, I think it would not be wrong to say that this story goes back before. Two of Kilis

important source of livelihood is olive growing and viticulture. For this reason, the paths of everyone who grew up in Kilis crossed with olives.

The crossing of our paths with olives dates back to our early childhood. Our great-grandfathers Hüseyin (1867 -1931) and Ahmet (1886-1929) are important growers on viticulture and olive cultivation, which are the most important livelihoods of Kilis. Our grandfathers Ali (1910-1992) and Ahmet (1913-1981), who took over the flag from them, continue production with the same sensitivity.

Although viticulture has come to the fore in Kilis over time, our grandfathers never give up on olive cultivation. Our fathers, Neşet (1940- 2020) and Duran (1938-2019), like our grandfathers, always gave priority to olives and worked day and night for the development of olive cultivation. We are grateful to all of them for leaving us such a valuable legacy.

Under the green leaves of this sacred tree, in whose shade we grew up, everyone has different stories. Here is the story of Masmana. This is one of them. We set out to contribute to this story, which was started to be written by our grandfathers. Those who come after us will continue to complete the rest. Even though the heroes have changed, the olive tree of your stories is what remains.

As members of families producing olives; Growing up in olive groves forms the basis of our love for this sacred tree in a geography where olive oil is used in daily life from nutrition to health and even childcare.

In the shade of our olive trees, which we love to grow, we, as Masmana, continue to work to leave small traces in life. Thank God for this tree, which has been our source of health, peace and livelihood for 4 generations, and this tree, which is old but delays aging in people, and gift it to us.
