Home of Zait & Zaatar (Olive Oil & Thyme)
Jordan is home to some of the oldest olive trees dating back to the time of Jesus Christ. The Olive trees are planted in the "Terra Rossa" (Red Soil) region which is the biblical name given to the Fertile Crescent part of the middle east. With its magnificent Mediterranean climate, this region has the ideal soil for cultivating olive groves, citrus fruits and grape vines. Growing and nurturing olive trees is embedded in the local culture and olive oil has been used for food, medicine and light in this part of the world for well over 6000 years.
Olive oil has always found a place between the sacred and the divine, like wine no two olive oils are alike. Each is a unique product of soil, climate, olive varieties, age and processing method. Our products are an outcome of modernised ancient methods of collection, preservation and extraction of this blessed fruit, "the olive".
