Novavera Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Ayvalık

Novavera Early Harvest Ayvalık olive oil is produced from olives grown in the Ayvalık region and carefully harvested at the beginning of October, when the olives are still green. The olives are hand-picked without touching the ground and cold pressed in our Ayvalık facilities. This olive oil benefits from the Ayvalık Geographical Indication.

For the 2025–2026 harvest, the maximum free acidity of our Ayvalık olive oil is 0.4%. Low acidity in extra virgin olive oil is a key indicator of the quality of the olives and the care taken during cultivation.

Cold Pressing & Quality

At Novavera, temperature is controlled at six different stages throughout the entire process, from olive to oil. The olive paste is kept below 22°C, ensuring true early harvest and cold pressing conditions.

This method allows the natural phenolic compounds present in olives to be preserved at the highest level, contributing to the oil’s antioxidant properties and nutritional value.

All Novavera products are stored in climate-controlled facilities between 18°C and 20°C to maintain freshness and quality.

Chemical and sensory analyses are conducted in internationally accredited food control laboratories.
