Northern Aegean: A defined olive-oil origin
The registered origin of Edremit olive oil has named limits: Kazdağı to the north, Mıhlı Creek to the west, Havran to the east and Burhaniye to the southeast. Its specification identifies Ayvalık/Edremit olives and places Kazdağı, Madra Mountain and the Gulf breeze within the production climate. This modern product designation gives the region a precise production geography, separate from the ancient settlement records.
