Our passion for olive oil started in 1938 when Anthony Micaleff, one of the members of the Micaleff Family, started the production of olive oil in Izmir, and obtained its corporate identity in 1945 with the approval of the Council of Ministers.
In those years, the top priority of economic development and growth policies initiated immediately after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey was to bring the domestic private capital into the economy.
Kristal, being Turkey’s first branded olive oil and having pioneered and served to flourish and develop olive oil culture especially in Anatolia for generations, is a very valuable brand, it has been even more than a brand.
