Memecik is native to the Aegean coast of Türkiye, grown for centuries across the hillsides between İzmir and Muğla.
It is a small, demanding olive. Slow to ripen, modest in yield, and deeply expressive when harvested early.
Moleas is built around this variety not for convenience, but for character — its vivid green profile, natural bitterness, and peppery finish that lingers long after the first taste.
