Tariş Zeytinyağı

What Tariş Zeytinyağı does

Tariş Zeytinyağı, legally "Tariş Zeytin ve Zeytinyağı Tarım Satış Kooperatifleri Birliği," is a Turkish agricultural sales cooperative union founded in 1915 and headquartered in İzmir (Çiğli), operating with 51–100 employees. It aggregates member olive-producer cooperatives across Turkey's Aegean region and processes, brands, and markets olive oil and related products. Its portfolio spans extra virgin (natürel sızma), virgin (natürel birinci), refined, and Riviera olive oils, with premium specialty lines such as Asırlık (from 350-year-old trees), Aurum (Sinolea cold-drip), İlk Hasat (early harvest), an organic line monitored by Ecocert, and the terroir-driven Ege Koleksiyonu covering 28+ Aegean sub-regions. It also sells table olives, gourmet foods, personal care items (baby care, skincare), and accessories.

The company's technical backbone is its four specialized laboratories: an IOOC-certified analysis laboratory (No. 42, accredited since 2000), a chromatography laboratory (three gas chromatographs, rancimat, four liquid chromatographs for adulteration detection), a sensory analysis laboratory with a trained degustator team, and a microbiological laboratory. The Special Food Control Laboratory has been Ministry-authorized since April 27, 2012. Tariş holds two registered Geographical Indications (North Aegean and South Aegean Olive Oils) from the Turkish Patent and Trademark Institute.

Commercially, Tariş operates a hybrid go-to-market: direct-to-consumer via its e-commerce store (tariszeytin.com.tr and E-MAĞAZA), traditional grocery retail across Turkey, and the cooperative network itself. Its customer base is dual-sided — Turkish end consumers purchasing household and gourmet olive oil, and member olive producers receiving processing, laboratory, and marketing services. Revenue is generated from product sales (olive oils, olives, gourmet, personal care) without publicly disclosed pricing. The company has received industry recognition including the 2023 "Cooperative of the Year" e-commerce award, and its General Manager Güngör Şarman sits on the Presidency Agriculture and Food Policies Board.
