Before you bring olives to the mill — grower checklist

Gölbaşı Karya’s primary service today is crushing for growers: you bring olives, the mill processes the lot, oil returns to you. Harvest season in the Southern Aegean is often cited for October–December; exact intake days are confirmed by phone.

Practical checklist

• If you can, call before loading the truck.
• Prefer ventilated crates over closed plastic bags that heat the olives.
• Keep the interval from harvest to mill as short as practical.
• Separate ground-picked olives from tree-picked when asked; note cultivar if known.
• Fees and queue are confirmed by phone — fixed public price lists are not published here.
