Our Story
SEIKILOS · AYDIN · AEGEAN · TURKEY
The Ancient Melody of the Land
Seikilos was born from the shared passion of two entrepreneurs for history, music and the lands of the Aegean.
Inspired by an Ancient Melody
Our name is inspired by the Seikilos Epitaph, discovered in the ancient lands of Aydın and widely regarded as one of the oldest surviving complete musical compositions.
A melody that crossed centuries gave us a simple idea: to carry another ancient gift of this land — the olive — into the future with the same care.
From Aydın to the Table
For us, good olive oil begins in the grove. Olives grown in Aydın are taken for pressing as soon as possible after harvest, using facilities close to the groves whenever possible.
Through cold extraction, without exposing the fruit to excessive heat, we aim to preserve its character, aroma and naturally occurring components.
At every stage, we follow the same principle: not more, but more carefully. From the grove and pressing to storage and bottling, Seikilos follows defined quality standards.
Memecik, one of Aydın’s characteristic olive varieties, lies at the heart of Seikilos’ product identity. With Seikilos Olive Oil, our aim is to bring together Aydın’s olive culture, the distinctive character of Memecik olives and our cold extraction approach in a carefully crafted presentation.
Why Seikilos?
To us, olive oil is more than food. It is a living expression of a place — its climate, history, landscape and people.
Seikilos brings our passion for history and music together with the olive culture of Turkey’s Aegean region.
If a melody born in the ancient lands of Aydın can still be heard thousands of years later, the flavor of this land can also tell its story at tables around the world.
Seikilos. A timeless melody from the Aegean.
Discover Seikilos Olive Oil
From Aydın, Turkey to tables around the world.
The journey of Seikilos Olive Oil therefore begins in Aydın. We bring together the Aegean tradition of olive cultivation, the region’s characteristic Memecik olives and a careful approach to production. From harvest to extraction, our aim is to preserve the natural character of the olives as much as possible and bring the value of Aydın to tables in different parts of the world.
For us, every bottle is more than a product; it is the continuation of a story rooted in the soil, olive groves and cultural heritage of Aydın. Just like the ancient melody that inspired our name, we want Seikilos Olive Oil to travel from the land where it was born to the world.
