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.
