ABOUT SHAMET

ABOUT SHAMET

In the hills of Delvinë, Shamet works with

deep respect for nature. His olives are

fully organic:

he uses no chemicals and personally ensures

the natural nourishment of his trees. For example,

he hydrates them during the right months, including

a nitrogen treatment in march.


Shamet owns 300 Koronel olive trees, whose olives

are pressed locally in Delvinë. In addition, he has 100

Kaliniot trees that are currently not producing, and

100 Frantojt trees which he is replacing with aranje -

a wild olive variety that adapts better to the local climate.


Through Illeryia Gold, Shamet’s natural approach receives

the visibility and appreciation it deserves. By purchasing

his oil, you contribute to the preservation of sustainable

farming in his region and support the transition to

future-proof cultivation.


Each bottle helps him and his family build a secure future

— while keeping the land healthy, without compromising nature.

Ermal manages a young olive grove in the region of Vlorë.

What began with 100 olive trees has now grown to 170.

His grove includes a mix of 50 Kaliniot trees and 50 Spanish

olive trees, known for their slightly milder flavor.



From just 55 trees, Ermal produces around 600 liters of oil

per year, with an extraction yield of 17 to 18 liters per 100

kilos of olives. He works naturally, using manure and nitrogen

(DAPP) to nourish his trees. His olives are cold-pressed

— always below 26°C — to preserve their full flavor and ensure

high quality.



Pressing costs him 1,000 lek per 100 kilos, and his production

costs have risen from €3 to €5 per liter. In Vlorë, a liter of

Kaliniot olive oil can sell for up to €10, but direct sales remain

a challenge. He currently sells part of his oil in the city of Shkodra.



Thanks to Illeryia Gold, Ermal now has access to a network that

values quality and prioritizes transparency — helping his work

reach the people who truly appreciate it.
