Sustainable Farming at the Hiç Olive Forest
OUR COMMITMENT TO RENEWABLE ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
Hiç cultivates the lands’ natural flora with sunlight and rainwater to capture the unique characteristics from the Urla landscape.
Hiç Olive Forest uses only self-sustainable farming systems including:
- Solar panels
- Recycled rainwater
- Green manure
An Olive Forest VS an Olive Grove
Most often, olive trees are grown in groves. Groves are meticulously manicured rows of olive trees and fertilized for optimum growth. At the Hiç Olive Forest, the olive trees are left to grow in their organic environment with wild trees, herbs, animals, bees and even the winds of the Aegean sea. This is why we call it an olive forest, rather than an olive grove. All of these natural elements lend itself to creating a more flavorful fruit.
Introducing the Hiç Olive Forest
Harvested from the slopes of Urla, Turkey, Hiç olives come exclusively from one source – the Hiç Olive Forest. Here, the land maintains its natural flora where over 60,000 olive trees flourish in a spectacular olive forest that attracts Aegean Sea wind from two sides, bearing a more fruitful flavor.
