Who is behind of Anolive?
Mrs Mukadder Ozden (Textile engineer) is one of the pioneers in organic clothing production, since 1990's.
After years of professional work, she established her own company and started to produce and export various garments especially made of organic cotton to Europe.
Obvious that life style been effected organic and sustainable prouction experience, and she advanced herself for simpler and better life.
In decades she is not using anything other than olive oil in her kitchen, by a family tradition.
As she expressed below, decided to produce all natural Olive oil in her homeland's (Akhisar/Turkey) and offer to the families who care about their life quality and body health.
So, Anolive has born...
"
- My childhood has been passed in the agricultural fields and olive lands, where my grandparents were living in Akhisar's village "Bunyani Osmaniye".
Remembering from the age 4/5, whole family from dawn to late night were in the agricultural fields at autumns. The global climate change were not known yet, so we (children) were bringing the drinking water from nearby wellsprings/streams to the parents while autumn winds were blowing on trees.
My late father was a curious man, he bought hundreds of olive saplings from agricultural research institute to our grandfather's land and they worked hard to set up an effective olive tree field with the new practices he learned.
By time, our elders had been passed away and those fields were sold, sadly.
Meantime, I had been a textile engineer and after many years working as a professional manager, established my company in Izmir to produce/export clothing for Europe, mainly organic and sustainable garments.
We have a reputable name in our field and very good friendships in Europe; But those memories of my childhood and longing to mother nature brought me back to Akhisar one day to establish an olive oil brand.
Found a remote place over the plateau, very suitable olive field and in one of my parents' village. It was just as we wish; avay from heavy industry, dense population and pollution, surrounded by nature and forest.
So we have begin the Anolive adventure by establishing a company for this business.
I believe that this venture and this location will help us to realize the efforts of my father and grandfather in the past..."
