Sat is one of the recorded olive varieties of the Black Sea.
Characteristics
Oil content is moderate. The fruit is large and the stone big; the stone separates from the flesh with difficulty.
Where it grows
Sat is recorded in the Black Sea. The provinces growing olives in this region: Artvin, Trabzon, Sinop, Samsun, Ordu, Kastamonu, Tokat, Bartın, Rize and Zonguldak — output is concentrated in Artvin (740 t); elsewhere the scale is very small.
Regional conditions, varietal spread and output: olive growing in the Black Sea
Measured values
Satı's measurements were published alongside Butko and Otur in the study of eastern Black Sea cultivars, from fruit collected in the Yusufeli district of Artvin.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Fruit weight | 2.08 g |
| Fruit length × width | 18.87 × 12.51 mm |
| Stone weight | 0.52 g |
| Flesh ratio | 75.0% |
| Fruits per kilogram | 481 |
Satı sits in the middle of the three: a little larger than Butko (1.83 g), distinctly smaller than Otur (3.93 g). Its flesh ratio, at 75.0%, is likewise in between.
Its fruit shape index is 1.51 — the length half again the width, a long oval. All three cultivars fall in that group; it is the shared form of the eastern Black Sea varieties.

Locally
Sat is one of the local varieties around Artvin; sources also give it as Satı. The genotypes Otur, Butko Yağlık and Görvele are recorded in the same area.
Grown in the microclimate of the Çoruh Valley, these varieties mark the northernmost edge of Turkish olive growing — the region yields 0.2% of national output but is rich in varietal diversity.
