Marmara Birlik

About

Marmarabirlik is a cooperative brand from Turkey, established in 1954 by regional olive producers. Located along the south coast of the Marmara Sea, this union was founded to grow and market the world's best quality table olives. While our catalog currently lists pickled vegetables, Marmarabirlik is renowned for its diverse selection of black and purple olives, a staple in many Balkan and Eastern European diets. Their long-standing history and commitment to quality make them a trusted name for the diaspora seeking authentic flavors.

What we carry
