FAQs

Our olive oil comes from a single olive grove located in North Lebanon. From a single olive type – a sourani olive thats native to the Levant. It tastes smooth balanced & buttery. The olive is stone milled cold pressed, using large stone wheels gently crushing the olives protecting the olives integrity & flavours.

Stone milling is a traditional method of crushing whole olives (flesh and pit) using large granite stones. The olives are slowly ground at low temperatures, which helps preserve their natural aromas, flavour and antioxidants.

We do not over filter the olive oil, keeping the olive sediments alive in the bottle. This is what gives our oil that fresh taste and natural goodness. Because of the sediment, the olive oil needs to be flipped before use, redistributing the natural particles, this gives the olive oil a cloudy look which is normal and what you should be looking for.

Organically grown in the northern regions of Lebanon, without any chemicals or pesticides.

Our olive oil has a beautifully balanced flavour—fresh, vibrant, and full of character.

It’s robust without being overpowering, smooth enough for everyday use. It is one that elevates any dish rather than overpowering.

Store your olive oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air. A pantry or cupboard is ideal. Keep the bottle tightly sealed after each use to protect its flavour and freshness.

Avoid storing olive oil near the stove or in clear light-filled areas—proper storage helps preserve its taste, aroma, and natural antioxidants for longer.

Once opened, olive oil is best enjoyed within 3–6 months for peak flavour and freshness. It won’t suddenly go bad after this time, but its aroma and vibrancy will slowly fade.

To make it last longer, store it in a cool, dark place, keep the lid tightly sealed, and avoid exposure to heat, light, and air.

Extra virgin olive oil is incredibly versatile. Beyond the kitchen, you can use it to:

• Finish dishes – drizzle over soups, hummus, labneh, salads, or grilled vegetables
• Bread & grazing – dip with fresh bread, za’atar, or sea salt
• Baking – use it in cakes and pastries for moisture and a subtle fruitiness
• Skincare – apply a small amount to dry skin, cuticles, or hair ends for natural moisture
• Home remedies – traditionally used for gentle massage or to soothe dry areas
• Preserving foods – drizzle over cheese, herbs, or roasted vegetables to help keep them fresh

It’s a simple, nourishing ingredient that works beautifully both on the plate and beyond it.
