An Original Olive Oil from an Exceptional Origin

Home of Zait & Zaatar (Olive Oil & Thyme)

The Fertile Green Crescent, which covers Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, 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 this 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".

Dukka Harissa

Made from the best available fresh Tomatoes, Chilli and Shallots, the first cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and their Dukka Coriander mix, Dukka Harissa is traditionally eaten by mixing it with olive oil and eaten with fresh bread as an aperitif. It also forms one of the basic ingredients in many North African and Middle Eastern cuisine to flavour soups and stews and is commonly eaten as a condiment to fluffy couscous or rice.

Not only is it delicious to dip with using bread or Nachos, Dukka Harissa is a truly versatile salsa that can add rich spicy hot flavour to any dish. Try tossing it into pasta, as a relish for grilled vegetables, jacket potatoes or barbequed meat, fried chicken or fish, as a filling for tortillas, burgers, pitta bread with falafel, and as a topping mixed with cheese for pizzas and paninis. It is extremely easy to cook with and adds that definite lift to any meal - simply fry some meat, fish or chicken with onion and garlic, and stir in a tablespoon of Harissa and enjoy!
