Our story

From our groves on Mount Ida to your table, with nobody in between.

Mount Ida, Kaz Dağları in Turkish, has been home to one civilisation after another since ancient times. Homer called it “Ida of many springs”, and its air and water still feed the olive groves on its slopes.

We founded Gate Natura to take olive oil from the producer straight to the table. Our olives ripen on the tree for a full year in quiet groves 700 metres up the mountain, and we pick them by hand. It takes 6 to 7 kilograms of olives to make one litre of oil.

The olives reach our stone mill within 24 hours of picking. We recommend using the oil raw: on salads, at breakfast or with a piece of bread.

Thank you to all the friends who have supported Gate Natura along the way.
