Origins of TRUVA

The name Truva, known as “Troy” or “Troia” in Greek, comes from the mythological city attacked in the Trojan War, part of a popular story from ancient Greece. Today, Truva is located on the northwest coast of Turkey, and is surrounded by olive tree farmers who inherited naturally-grown, organic olive trees from their ancestors. For centuries, the combination of climate, soil and geological conditions of the Aegean coastline created a natural home for olive trees. We are committed to continuing that tradition by offering our oil from biological, mechanical and cultural practices that promote ecological balance and conservation of biodiversity. 

Making TRUVA EVOO

Truva’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is sourced directly from artisanal farmers, avoiding the use of toxic, persistent chemicals and synthetic fertilizers to ensure 100% purity and the highest quality. Due to high rainfall and sunlight exposure, our olive trees have considerable nutritional reserves in their branches, which are mobilized when the fruit (olive) is formed. After harvesting, our oil is obtained from the first press of the olive and is left in its cold, natural, and nutrient state. This way, we both preserve the freshness and antioxidant content of the oil.
