Turkish Amb. Praises Egyptian Olive Oil, Highlights Sinai's Unique Quality

By Ahmad El-Assasy Turkish Ambassador to Cairo, Salih Mutlu Şen, has praised the quality and healing properties of Egyptian olive oil, particularly that produced in the North Sinai city of Arish, calling it 'authentic' and 'a source of healing.' In remarks delivered at a recent ceremony organized by the Egyptian Federation of Chambers of Industry, Ambassador Şen underscored the cultural and religious symbolism of olives in both the Qur'an and Mediterranean diets. 'Surah At-Tin mentions the olive and Mount Sinai together,' he noted, adding that olives, olive oil, and cheese form the core of a traditional Turkish breakfast. Şen shared that during his visits to Arish, he personally purchases dozens of bottles of cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, describing it as a high-quality product deserving international recognition. The ambassador joined Cairo Governor Ibrahim Saber in honoring Egyptian olive oil producers with medals and certificates in a ceremony celebrating their contributions. He expressed strong confidence in Egypt's potential to become a major player in the global olive oil market, citing the country's award-winning farmers and increasing global demand. Şen also highlighted his past involvement with the International Olive Oil Council (IOOC), a body of particular significance to Turkey—currently the world's fourth-largest olive oil producer. Drawing from that experience, he stated that Egypt is well-positioned to expand its footprint in this growing industry. The remarks underscore Turkey's support for Egyptian agricultural excellence and open a new chapter in bilateral cooperation around sustainable farming and food exports. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
