Myndus Olive Oil brand was established in Bodrum Turkey in 2020. The name of the brand originates from the ancient city of Myndus. The ancient city of Myndus is today known as Gümüşlük of Bodrum district. In May 2020, a start was given by Kocacık Holding to create an olive oil brand and gain experience in olive oil production.
Myndus, whose brand registration was obtained in August 2020, made its first bottles with olives provided by the family-owned boutique and a small olive grove. This first batch of bottles was delivered to well-known people for testing, including the famous French Chef Alain Ducasse. This post, which is not intended for commercial gain, was moved to an official bottling license for export purposes in March 2021, after the appreciation it received. Despite the great appreciation of the products, the abundance of domestic demand, but the lack of supply, and the fact that international price formations are far below domestic price formations have brought the idea of export to a different position. For this reason, in December 2021, Kocacık Holding started exporting to the European market on a separate platform with another subsidiary company based in Tunisia. Today, Myndus Olive Oil produces olive oil and olives with its private gardens and family heritage gardens, where it monitors the harvest by aiming for top quality harvest and production.
As of 2024, Kocacık Holding moved its administrative center from Pantin, France, to Izmir, Alsancak. The group's goal is to combine a high-production olive oil facility that will not violate boutique standards and a bottling center that will support this facility into the same concept. The group, which devoted its efforts to olive cultivation, soon realized that for the best quality olive oil, it is necessary to follow the product from the branch to the harvest.
For this reason, with the experiences gained today, project development continues with the principles of on-site harvest monitoring, access to the best fruit and squeezing the fruit in the shortest time. Myndus' purpose of existence is to bring high quality olive and olive oils to its customers for pleasure.
