Gemlik Black Olives XS 321–350 – 1 kg tin (Naturally Fermented)

Gemlik Black Olives XS – the fine kitchen olive with great character

Small in caliber, big in taste: The Gemlik XS olive 321–350 brings up to 350 carefully fermented fruits per kilogram into the kitchen. Its compact size makes it the ideal choice wherever the olive acts not as an eye-catcher, but as an aromatic flavor carrier – in börek, pide, salads, stews and casseroles.

Despite its delicate size, it remains unmistakably a true Gemlik olive: thin skin, firm flesh, a pit that detaches easily – fermented only with water and salt, from the geographically recognized cultivation area of Gemlik in the province of Bursa.

What distinguishes the XS olive

• 📏 Caliber XS 321–350 – fine and uniform, ideal for cooking and processing
• 🏅 Gemlik variety from recognized origin – intense aroma in a compact form
• 🌿 Only water and salt – no preservatives, no coloring, no additives
• 🏺 Traditional natural fermentation – gently matured according to traditional methods
• 🥫 1 kg robust can – storage size for households, catering and gastronomy

For whom is the XS caliber the right choice?

The XS olive appeals to a clear target group: those who cook a lot, regularly prepare Zeytinli dishes or need larger quantities for family and guests, will find the most economical form of genuine Gemlik quality here. Bakeries, snack bars and catering businesses also appreciate the uniform smallness of this variety.

For the breakfast table or the meze platter, where the olive is visually in the foreground, we recommend our Gemlik Medium 261–290 or the Gemlik XL 201–230.

Usage ideas in the kitchen

Börek & Pide: The compact size makes it easier to distribute in the dough or on the topping – uniform bites, no cutting needed.

Zeytinli Pilav & Stews: In rice pots or Anatolian stews, the XS olive imparts its aroma intensively to the dish.

Salads & Meze: In shepherd's salad, Çoban Salatası or as part of a mixed appetizer platter – small, but present.

Serving tip: Even pure as a snack, a dash of extra virgin olive oil with thyme and lemon is worthwhile – the classic finishing for any Gemlik olive, regardless of caliber.

Storage: Store unopened in a cool, dry place. After opening, do not discard the brine – transfer to a sealable glass and store in the refrigerator.
