Kristal is the story of a family that has devoted itself to olive and olive oil for generations since 1938. This story begins with a ship travel by which the family moves from Malta to Izmir. The family does not forget this ship and carries it to the logo of the brand.

Kristal, known as “VapurluYağ” (i.e. a nick name given to Kristal meaning olive oil bearing a ship on its logo) in many regions of Anatolia, is Turkey’s first branded olive oil. Having pioneered and served to flourish and develop olive oil culture especially in Anatolia for generations, Kristal is a very valuable brand and yet, it has been even more than a brand.

Today, Kristal remains committed to reflect its 80-year tradition and passion for olive oil in its products and services. The following are the most important reasons for you to choose Kristal:

We bottle olive oil, untouched by human hand!

It is great importance to us to maintain sustainable food safety and human health. Hygienic production is an unchanging rule for Kristal. We make production and packaging without hand-touching in our production lines, which were renewed in 2010, by giving utmost care to ecological balance, food safety, environment and human health.

We maintain the same taste and flavor throughout the harvest year!

The quality of olive oil starts with the olive itself and depends on many factors. The terrain and climate conditions where olive trees are grown, cultivation methods, the timing of harvest and picking methods, olive processing methods, production and storage conditions and many other internal and external factors affect the quality, taste, smell and acidity of olive oil.

The quality, flavor, smell and components of olive oil are determined by chemical analysis and sensory evaluations. All our products are subjected to physical, chemical and sensory tests both before and after production by the expert team of Kristal.

Our tasting panel team evaluates all sample products sent to our factory, and after the approval of this team during the product selection stage and the input quality control process, the purchase and entry of the related product lot is carried out. In this way, the olive oil obtained from different sources during the harvest year is selected among the ones that are suitable for the best flavor scale of that year and the region and offered for sale under the Kristal brand.
