Eminems Olive Oil Award Winning Olive Oil from Milas

Eminems Olive Oil Award Winning Olive Oil from Milas

Discover Eminems Olive Oil and Oro di Milas, the story behind their Memecik olive oil, international awards and the olive growing culture of Milas.

Eminems Olive Oil is one of the producers bringing the olive oil culture of Milas to an international audience. Its Oro di Milas brand is known for extra virgin olive oil made from locally grown Memecik olives. For anyone exploring life around Bodrum, the story offers a glimpse of the region beyond its coastline.

The story behind Eminems Olive Oil and Oro di Milas

Founder Emine Catalbas Colin describes how buying a property and olive grove in Milas with her husband, Mark Colin, became the starting point for their business. A connection with the landscape gradually developed into olive oil production. Eminems is the producer; Oro di Milas is its olive oil brand.

Part of the appeal is the way a regional product is introduced through its own identity. The grove, the production process, the packaging and the oil on the table become different chapters of the same story.

Getting to know Memecik olives from Milas

The brand highlights the Memecik variety, early harvesting and cold extraction in its official product information. When comparing olive oils, it helps to look beyond the bottle and consider the harvest, production details and flavour together.

For residents and visitors in Bodrum, discovering local olive oil is also a way to get to know Aegean cooking. Fresh bread, seasonal vegetables and a simple meal can provide a good starting point for appreciating an oil's aroma.

International recognition for Oro di Milas

Oro di Milas received a Gold Award at the 2026 NYIOOC. The competition's producer record lists five gold awards for Eminems Olive Oil across 2023–2026. These results relate to particular entries and years, rather than every product sold by the producer.

Olive groves as part of local life

The Eminems story may inspire an interest in producing olive oil in Milas. Looking after a grove of your own is a separate undertaking: a site visit, ongoing maintenance, water requirements, harvest arrangements and an operating budget all deserve attention. One brand's success does not establish the income or future value of another property.
