In this ancestral geography where I spent a significant part of my life, I hope that we will live a few days that will make the story of Olive in our common taste history unforgettable, which I see as an award rather than a product in the soil, agriculture and forest trilogy that I am now intertwined with as part of my job. “Welcome to our Milas, our harvest and our festival, where the olive smells best, which I believe will be on our table in the future with all its richness, from its fruit to its oil.”

It also guides the wisdom of faith, labor, bread, climate, water, past and future. From the first planting to the first pressing; that is, olive, which shares the same essence with people, with the beliefs of ancient cultures, with happiness and patience throughout all stages of harvest history, puts us in a time warp of thousands of years from the moment it is placed on our table, whether as fruit or oil. It will continue to be the guide of "ancestral taste" for the next generations, like a forest that includes culture and our unique country. We thank you once again for honoring our seventh Harvest Festival with your presence, with this feeling and belief.”
