Yakart combines early harvest extra virgin olive oil made from geographically indicated Ayvalık olives with a touch of red pepper, offering a new flavor experience for consumers who enjoy spicy tastes.

Strong production infrastructure in Ayvalık: a model that scales quality

One of the key drivers behind Aivalos’ growth is its production and operational strength based in Ayvalık. The brand operates with an infrastructure capable of managing production, quality control, bottling, and logistics processes at an institutional scale.

This structure ensures both product consistency and the supply reliability required to support a wide retail distribution network across Türkiye.

Aivalos’ production model is built around preserving raw material quality, ensuring product consistency, traceability, and operational efficiency—enabling the brand not only to develop new products but also to sustain scalable growth.

Practical use with the “squeezable bottle”

The squeezable bottle format, which lies at the core of Aivalos’ product experience, is transforming everyday olive oil usage habits.

Offering controlled pouring, clean serving, and portion management, this approach aims to make olive oil a more practical and frequently used ingredient in the kitchen.

Yakart: early harvest extra virgin + red pepper character

Yakart is based on early harvest extra virgin olive oil made from geographically indicated Ayvalık olives. Early harvest is known as a production period when olive oil reaches peak aromatic intensity and freshness.

Yakart enhances this clean and balanced profile with the distinctive character of red pepper, positioning itself as a versatile flavor enhancer suitable for a wide range of uses—from salads and sauces to eggs and pizza.

Aivalos product family continues to grow

In addition to its squeezable bottle product line, Aivalos continues to offer premium olive oil varieties in glass bottles.

With the launch of Yakart, the brand aims to sustain its domestic growth while positioning exports as a second growth pillar.

Through a product portfolio designed for different usage occasions, Aivalos promotes the idea of “using the right olive oil in the right context.” With Yakart, the brand extends this approach to consumers seeking bold, spicy flavor profiles.
