Thirty years at the same counter, with the same care.
We started as a small shop in İskenderun. Today, we dry, blend and bottle Hatay’s herbs at our own facility.
No additives, no middlemen, no long lists. What’s in the jar is what’s on the label.
Esila grew up with Hatay’s rich plant life. Thyme, sage, bay, olive; for generations, plants from this land have been used in both cooking and traditional remedies.
We took this knowledge and made it measurable: recorded proportions, batch numbers, our own filling line. All our products are prepared at our own facility, by our own team.
Journey
From shop to production facility.
1996
It started with dried herbs
In 1996 we opened a small shop in İskenderun, drying herbs gathered in the mountains of Hatay and selling them by weight. Thyme, sage, linden — all dried in the shade and sorted by hand.
First facility
Our first cold-press oil facility
Next to the dried herbs came the oils. We set up our first cold-press oil facility and began pressing seeds without heat and without additives.
Growth
A fully integrated facility
Drying, blending, cold pressing, the molasses and paste kettles, filling and labelling now all happen under one roof in our own large facility. We can still tell you, step by step, whose hands a product passed through from field to box.
Today
Over 150 products, 81 provinces (il)
A range spanning teas and oils, creams and soaps. Still in the same city, we weigh, fill and ship with the same care.
How we work
From field to box in four steps, under one roof.
- 01
Harvesting
We source herbs in season, from their native region. The plants of Hatay’s mountains and coast are the foundation of our range.
- 02
Drying
The herbs are dried slowly in the shade, in an airy space, to preserve their colour and aroma.
- 03
Blending
Every blend is weighed and prepared using recorded proportions. There is no variation from one batch to the next.
- 04
Filling
Products are filled and labelled at our own facility, by our own team, and each batch is recorded.
