Ingredients

To quickly note, I received this for free from Picky and YADAH in exchange for my honest review.

The balm contains 100 ml (3.38 oz) and doesn’t have a noticeable fragrance, but it does contain many essential oils.

The balm is pretty standard and doesn’t feel too heavy.

It's pretty oily and does start to break down to a more liquid form pretty fast.

It removes makeup very nicely and is non-stripping.

It doesn’t leave any oil residue once rinsed off.

Recommended use is to place an appropriate amount on dry hands and face and gently massage into the skin. It’s easy to rinse off or remove with tissue paper. It’s recommended to follow up with a cleansing foam. This is specifically formulated for sensitive skin. After using, so there are many essential oils in the ingredients list so this product is not fragrance-free. The physical fragrance isn't very noticeable, however. The cleansing balm has a very easy texture to work with and despite having a fair amount of irritants, this is a very gentle product that is suitable to any skin type, even to sensitive skin as I didn't personally notice any irritation. The ingredients are all very helpful in the skin maintaining moisture without being stripping or leaving a film or residue behind. I found this worked really well to remove dirt and gunk from my pores as well, it's also been gentle around my recent nose piercing. It's great to use as a double cleanse, both steps really help you feel clean without leaving the skin tight. I'd recommend this to anyone with dry, sensitive skin with enlarged pores.

What I like: this balm is very gentle, non-irritating, non-stripping and doesn't leave any film or residue. It's effective at removing dirt and oil and makeup is really nice to help loosen extra dirt from the pores. What I don't like: while it didn't affect me, there are several essential oils in this which can be irritants.

Pros:

Non-stripping

Gentle

Breaks down makeup easily

Removes dirt and oil effectively

Sensitive skin friendly

Doesn't leave a film or residue

Cons:

Contains irritants

Would I buy this?

Yes

Discovering the Best Turkish Olive Oil

Turkey, a country known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse culinary traditions, has also become renowned for producing some of the finest olive oil in the world. Turkish olive oil, often praised for its exceptional quality, has a long-standing history that dates back thousands of years.

From its historical significance to its modern production techniques, Turkish olive oil has become a staple in every kitchen, both in Turkey and around the globe in many countries.

In this blog post, we will step into the vibrant world of Turkish olive oil, where ancient traditions merge with modern practices to produce a liquid gold renowned for its purity, aroma, and health benefits. Join us on this captivating journey as we explore the rich history of this culinary treasure of Turkish Olive Oil and its deep cultural significance, and sustainable practices.

What is Turkish Olive Oil?

Before we dive into the specifics, let's first understand what Turkish olive oil is. Olive oil, made from olives, is a natural oil derived from the fruit of olive trees, called Olea Europaea.

Turkish olive oil encompasses various grades, including extra virgin olive oil, virgin olive oil, and pure olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil, the highest quality grade, is extracted from olives using mechanical processes, without the use of heat or chemicals. Virgin olive oil is also made through mechanical processes but may have slightly higher acidity levels than extra virgin olive oil. Pure olive oil, on the other hand, is a blend of extra virgin olive oil and refined olive oil, making it suitable for various cooking purposes.

History of Turkish Olive Oil

The history of Turkish olive oil can be traced back to ancient times, with the cultivation of olive trees and the production of olive oil deeply ingrained in Turkish culture. Olive trees, native to the Mediterranean region, flourished on Turkish soil, yielding a bountiful harvest of Turkish olives. As early as 2500 BC, the ancient inhabitants of Anatolia were already producing olive oil, making it one of the oldest agricultural products in the region.

Over the centuries, Turkish olive oil production evolved, embracing modern techniques while preserving traditional methods. Turkey stands as a global leader in olive oil production. Its vast olive groves, sprawling over 1.8 million hectares, stretch from the Aegean shores to the mineral-rich soils of Anatolia. This impressive landscape plays host to over 170 million olive trees, meticulously cared for by generations of experienced farmers and olive oil producers such as Artem Oliva and Taris.

The secret to this success of Turkish Olive Oil lies in careful selection and modernized harvesting methods. Turkish farmers have gained their skills over centuries, ensuring only the finest olives make their way into olive oil production. This commitment to quality shines through in the final product, renowned for its distinctive aromas, unique flavors, and exceptional health benefits. Of course, the most important specification of Turkish olive oil is its organoleptic feature.

The Significance of Olive Oil in Turkish Culture

Olive oil holds deep cultural significance in Turkish cuisine and traditions. Turkish olive oil brands have garnered international recognition, standing as ambassadors of the country's culinary heritage. Beyond its use in cooking, olive oil plays a prominent role in traditional Turkish rituals, a symbol of health, purity, and abundance.

Within the rich tapestry of Turkish cuisine, olive oil plays a pivotal role, adding both depth of flavor and a distinctive healthfulness to numerous iconic dishes. Perhaps the most renowned are the delectable "zeytinyağlı yemekler" literally translated as "olive oil dishes."

These vegetarian offerings showcase the versatility of olive oil, featuring seasonal vegetables like artichokes, zucchini, green beans, and eggplant, carefully braised and seasoned to perfection. Stuffed grape leaves ("yaprak sarması"), bathed in aromatic olive oil, offer a delightful combination of textures and flavors, while creamy "hummus" often receives a drizzle of olive oil for both aesthetic and flavorful enhancement.

Main courses like "imam bayıldı," stuffed aubergines cooked in olive oil, and "manti," dumplings infused with its richness, exemplify the intricate culinary techniques employed in Turkish cuisine. Beyond savory dishes, even traditional desserts like "lokma," deep-fried dough bites drizzled with honey and sprinkled with sesame seeds, often incorporate olive oil for a subtle depth of flavor. Notably, olive oil's presence extends beyond its culinary functions, serving as a symbol of hospitality and health within Turkish culture. This unique combination of cultural significance, versatility, and health benefits solidifies olive oil's position as a cornerstone ingredient in the vibrant and diverse landscape of Turkish gastronomy.

Sustainability Practices in the Turkish Olive Oil Industry

In recent years, sustainability has become a key focus in olive oil production, and Turkish olive oil companies are at the forefront of implementing environmentally friendly practices. Recognizing the importance of preserving the natural ecosystem, these companies prioritize sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring the longevity of olive trees and the quality of Turkish olive oil.

The Aegean coast of Turkey, renowned for olive oil production, upholds sustainable harvesting methods, promoting biodiversity and minimizing environmental impact. Olive oil companies in Turkey, such as Artem Oliva, adhere to international standards, employing efficient production techniques that reduce energy consumption and waste. By utilizing renewable energy sources, optimizing water usage, and implementing organic farming methods, Turkish olive oil production supports the preservation of the Mediterranean ecosystem.

These sustainability practices not only benefit the environment but also contribute to the high quality of Turkish olive oil. By choosing sustainably produced Turkish olive oil, consumers not only enjoy a superior product but also support a greener and more responsible olive oil industry.

Importance of Olive Trees in Turkey

Olive trees play a crucial role in shaping the agricultural landscape of Turkey. With their extensive presence, olive trees contribute to the richness and diversity of Turkey's flora and fauna, fostering biodiversity. These majestic trees, some of which are centuries old, grace the vast Turkish countryside, bestowing upon it an unparalleled beauty.

The cultivation of olive trees has not only shaped Turkey's agricultural practices but also influenced its cultural heritage. Olive farming has contributed to the economic growth of rural communities, providing livelihoods for many generations of Turkish olive growers. The olive trees of Turkey are revered for their resilience, adaptability, and their ability to produce olives of exceptional quality, making them an indispensable part of the Turkish agricultural legacy.

The Agricultural Influence

Olive trees have a significant agricultural influence in Turkey, particularly in the production of Turkish Olive Oil and table olives. Turkish table olives, appreciated for their distinct flavors and textures, are a delicacy enjoyed both locally and internationally. The Aegean coast of Turkey, blessed with its mild climate, fertile soils, and abundant sunshine, provides an ideal environment for olive cultivation and the production of high-quality table olives.

The olive cultivation process involves careful management of olive trees, from pruning to irrigation, ensuring optimal conditions for growth. Turkish olive growers, utilizing traditional and modern techniques, cultivate olive trees with precision, resulting in high yields of olives that are ideal for oil extraction or table olive production.

Turkey's agricultural landscape, dotted with olive groves, is a testament to the country's commitment to olive cultivation and its influence on Turkish agriculture. Olive trees, deeply rooted in Turkish culture, continue to shape the agricultural traditions of the country, fostering economic growth and preserving the natural beauty of the Turkish countryside.

The Economic Impact

The olive industry has a significant economic impact on Turkey, contributing to the country's economic growth and international trade. Turkish olive oil and olive products, renowned for their quality, are in high demand both domestically and abroad.

Turkey, as a major exporter of olive oil, caters to international markets, including countries such as South Korea, Italy, France, and Spain. Turkish olive oil exports have surged in recent years, with Turkey being a member of the International Olive Council, further solidifying its position in the global olive oil market.

The success of Turkish olive oil can be attributed to the dedication of Turkish olive oil companies, olive growers, and the adherence to international standards of production. The olive oil industry in Turkey provides employment opportunities, sustains the livelihoods of many, and contributes significantly to the country's international trade and economic prosperity.

The Modern Production Techniques

Modern production techniques have revolutionized olive oil production, enhancing efficiency while preserving the purity and quality of Turkish olive oil. The Turkish olive oil production process encompasses various stages, from harvesting the olives to packaging the final product, with each step blending traditional methods with advancements in modern technology.

The use of modern machinery, such as state-of-the-art pressing mills, extraction systems, and centrifuges, ensures the highest extraction efficiency, allowing Turkish olive oil producers to maximize oil yield without compromising quality. From the delicate harvesting of olives to the extraction process, Turkish olive oil production embraces innovation, resulting in a product that captures the essence of Turkish olives.

Harvesting the Olives

The harvesting of olives plays a crucial role in Turkish olive oil production, influencing the quality and flavor of the final product. Turkish olive growers employ both traditional and modern harvesting methods, adapting to the unique characteristics of different olive varieties.

Harvesting is typically done in autumn when olives are ripe and ready for picking. Turkish olive growers often prioritize early harvest, harvesting olives at the initial stage of maturity, to ensure the highest quality of oil. Hand-picking, a labor-intensive process, remains the preferred method, allowing for careful selection of olives and preventing any damage to the fruit.

The delicate process of harvesting olives, carried out with precision and care, sets the foundation for producing exceptional Turkish olive oil, capturing the essence of the olives grown under the Turkish sun.

Processing and Pressing for Oil

Once the olives are harvested, they undergo processing and pressing to extract the oil. Turkish olive oil production emphasizes the importance of quality extraction methods, such as cold pressing, to preserve the purity and flavor of the olives.

The extraction process involves crushing the olives into a paste, followed by the separation of oil, water, and solids. Cold pressing, a traditional method, ensures that the olives are pressed at low temperatures, maintaining the highest quality of Turkish olive oil. The first press of the olives, known as extra virgin olive oil, is considered the highest quality grade, known for its superior taste, aroma, and health benefits.

Turkish olive oil production embraces this traditional technique, combined with innovative machinery, ensuring the purity, quality, and nutritional value of Turkish olive oil.

Packaging and Preservation

The packaging and preservation of Turkish olive oil are critically important in maintaining its quality, freshness, and premium taste. Turkish olive oil is often packaged in glass bottles, which protect it from light, oxygen, and temperature fluctuations, helping to preserve its alluring aroma and flavor.

Packaging plays a vital role in safeguarding the antioxidants, polyphenols, and other beneficial components of the olive oil. Turkish olive oil producers adhere to high packaging standards, employing various preservation methods, such as nitrogen flushing, to minimize oxidation and preserve the quality of the oil.

By choosing glass packaging and employing meticulous preservation techniques, Turkish olive oil producers ensure that consumers can enjoy the full benefits, flavor, and freshness of Turkish olive oil, straight from the bottle.

Understanding the Quality of Turkish Olive Oil

When it comes to Turkish olive oil, quality is of paramount importance. Turkish olive oil, known for its exceptional quality, meets stringent standards of production, ensuring the highest level of purity, taste, and nutritional value.

Several factors contribute to the quality of Turkish olive oil, including acidity level, peroxide value, and sensory analysis. Turkish olive oil producers meticulously monitor these factors, employing quality assurance measures to maintain the high standards that Turkish olive oil is renowned for.

Discerning consumers can recognize high-quality Turkish olive oil by carefully reading labels, and looking for indicators such as "extra virgin" or "Award-Winning Turkish Olive Oil." Additionally, a taste profile characterized by a balanced, smooth, and fruity flavor is a testament to the quality of the olive oil, allowing consumers to enjoy the pure essence of Turkish olives.

Factors Affecting the Quality

Various factors influence the quality of Turkish olive oil, with acidity level, peroxide value, and sensory analysis being crucial parameters considered during production.

Acidity level indicates the quality and purity of olive oil, with lower acidity levels signifying a higher quality grade. Turkish olive oil, particularly extra virgin olive oil, has exceptionally low acidity levels, often below 0.8%.

Peroxide value, a measure of oxidization, provides valuable insights into the freshness of olive oil. Turkish olive oil, due to its careful production process, typically has low peroxide values, indicating its superior quality.

Sensory analysis, involving the evaluation of aroma, taste, and texture, is another key element in assessing the quality of Turkish olive oil. Trained sensory panels analyze samples of olive oil, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of olfactory and gustatory excellence.

By considering these quality factors, Turkish olive oil producers maintain their commitment to delivering olive oil of the highest quality, ensuring that consumers can savor the pure, flavorful, and healthful properties of Turkish olives.

The Thriving Export Industry of Turkish Olive Oil

The Turkish olive oil industry has experienced substantial growth, establishing itself as a major player in the international olive oil market. Turkish olive oil's superior quality, rich taste, and health benefits have made it highly sought after in the global market.

Turkey exports olive oil to various international destinations, including South Korea, Italy, France, and Spain, among others. Turkish olive oil's global popularity can be attributed to its exceptional quality, which has captured the attention of olive oil enthusiasts, chefs, and health-conscious individuals alike.

With a rise in international demand, the Turkish olive oil export industry continues to thrive, promoting trade between countries, strengthening global connections, and showcasing Turkey's commitment to producing olive oil of the highest caliber.

In the 2023/2024 crop year, Turkish olive growers and oil producers experienced a weak harvest due to unfavorable weather conditions during the blossoming period. Cold and rainy spring weather damaged olive trees, leaving many barren and impacting fruit sets. This came after a record-high yield of 421,000 tons in the previous year, making the potential decline even more concerning. Farmers in various regions, particularly Izmir, Aydin, and Manisa, reported significant losses due to hail and heavy rains. Experts and producers expressed concerns about the economic impact of the lower harvest, impacting both domestic consumption and exports. However, there is optimism for the 2024/2025 season, with positive expectations for a higher yield.

The Rise in Global Demand

The rise in global demand for Turkish olive oil can be attributed to several factors, including its health benefits, culinary trends, and increasing international awareness of its quality.

Health-conscious consumers are seeking natural and healthier alternatives, and Turkish olive oil, with its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and polyphenols, perfectly fits the bill. Scientific studies highlighting the health benefits of olive oil have further increased its global demand, spurring the interest of individuals focusing on their overall well-being.

Culinary trends, that emphasize fresh and flavorful ingredients, have also contributed to the growing international demand for Turkish olive oil.

Olive (Olea europaea L.) is an evergreen tree and prominent species of whole Mediterranean countries. Its cultivation can be traced back since ancient times and is also mentioned in the Holy Quran, Hebrew and the Christian Bibles (Flaishman et al., 2008). The olive fruit is a famous fruit tree worldwide for its oil and nutritional benefits. Successful fertilization and fruitlet persistence is directly dependent upon flower quality (Martins et al., 2006) which also predict pistil abortion rate, embrosac development, and receptivity of stigma, pollen viability and nitrogen and carbohydrate contents (Cuevas et al., 1994; Moreno-Aloaas et al., 2018). Large ovaries are associated with more fruit set. (Cuevas and Polito, 2004.) Flower quality is better in off year than on year production (Mazzeo et al., 2014). The length of inflorescence (3-8 cm) and number of inflorescence per branch and number of flower (15-30) per inflorescence varies with the cultivar (Martin and Sibbett, 2005). These characteristic may vary in each year, plant, branch, inflorescence (Brooks, 1948; Cuevas et al., 1994; Lavee et al., 1996; Lavee et al., 2002; Reale et al., 2006). The perfect or staminate flower may vary with the position of inflorescence (Bouranis et al., 1999; Dimassi et al., 1999; Ateyyeh et al., 2000; Cuevas and Polito, 2004). 

Most important features in olive fruit set are self-incompatibility, self-fertility and abnormalities in morphological traits. Various factor of sterility are present in olive like more or less related species which are responsible for productivity. Olive trees with good quality and quantity of viable pollens is essential for a good pollination. As a whole, there exists a linear relation between viability and germination capacity of pollen and germination capability in many fruit species (Stanley and Linskens, 1974). Both viability and germination depends on various factors like genotype, nutrition conditions, and biotic and a biotic factors (Khan and Perveen, 2008).Poor pollen viability and germination percentage cause less fecundation in olive (Bini, 1984; Tombesi, 2013). Pollen viability is a genetic trait (Vuletin-Selak et al., 2014) and estimated by various techniques and one of the most important is staining with acetocarmine jelly (Radford et al., 1974). 

Pollen germination is another important factor in olive fruit production. Growth of pollen tube in In vitro condition should be check to assess the pollen grain germination capability. Temperature and relative humidity has strong influence on pollen tube growth along with the humidity and growing media. 

There is a huge difference in pollen germination on stigma in open field condition and in vitro growth (Heslop-Harrison and Heslop-Harrison, 1981; Pinney and Polito, 1990; Kovacs and Barnabas, 1997). In vitro Pollen tube germination is very sensitive to growing media. In present conditions media is considered to be suitable having water, boric acid, sucrose and agar (Pinney and Polito, 1990) and citric acid (Al-Dehadhehetal et al., 2004).

The media containing 20% sucrose is optimal and more than 30 % cause inhibition of pollen tube growth (Lavee et al., 1985). Pollen ability, germination percentage and pollination of 18 olive cultivars were evaluated. It is believed that pollen ability is an important tool for pollination process for mono orchard cultivation. Major significant differences among cultivars for pollen abilities were listed with variation in characteristic with reference to time (Shemer et al., 2014).

Olive cultivation on commercial scale has no long history in Pakistan. But during the last ten years olive plantation has gained popularity because of its great socio-economic importance. More than 4494.36 hectares have been brought under olive cultivation in Pothwar region and 2,800 acre (280,004 plants) was cultivated other than Pothwar region under Federal and provincial Government, Pakistan (PARC, 2018; BARI, 2019).

A major aim was to examine phenology, pollen viability and germinating capacity of pollens of eighteen exotic olives for identifying the most suitable genotype for newly olive industry establishment.
