Sunday, after leaving Kusadasi we stopped in Nihat's village to see his cousin's olive oil factory which had just opened for the season a week ago.   It is a very modern, computerized operation.  The farmers bring in their olives, the oil is extracted, and the family keep 10%.  The oil in the green containers is ready for the farmer, the 10% is kept in large 3000 litre containers, and father guards the vault :).

I was the lucky recipient of not only a tour, chai with the family, but also a bottle of their finest olive oil.
