Adramytiani
(Fragolia, Αδραμυτιανή)
Adramytiani is a type of olive variety that originates from the region around Adramyttion (modern-day Edremit) in western Türkiye, near the Aegean coast. This olive variety is cultivated both in Türkiye and on some of the Greek islands, particularly Lesbos, where it is well known for producing high-quality olive oil.
The Adramytiani olive is prized for its rich oil content and the oil’s smooth, slightly fruity flavor, making it popular in both cooking and as a finishing oil. On the island of Lesbos, it is commonly used in local cuisine and contributes to the island’s reputation for producing excellent olive oil.
The olives can also be eaten as table olives, either green or black, after being cured.
