About, Terra Rossa Jordan Ltd

Terra Rossa is the only importer of Zait & Zaatar (Arabic for extra virgin olive oil & thyme) from Jordan in the UK. By modernising ancient methods of collection, extraction and preservation, Terra Rossa have produced a premium range to appeal to consumers who are interested in the purity, quality and origin of the foods they consume.

We offer two very distinctive extra virgin olive oils, Sinolea and Evoo, that embody the 6,000 years of experience and tradition that Jordan has in olive growing and oil producing. Jordan is the 10th largest olive oil producer in the world, and is home to some of the oldest olive trees - some of which date back to biblical times!

Both grades of oils are produced from hand-picked and half-green olives that are granite stone crushed and are extracted using natural cold processes to preserve the sensitive aromatic properties, antioxidants and nutrients. The main difference between the two grades is that the Sinolea is extracted using a Natural Cold Drip method and is unfiltered, while the EVOO is extracted using the centrifugal method which is then filtered.

Alongside the oils, we also offer "The Great Taste Award" Gold Winning thyme mix called Zaatar, made primarily from thyme, sesame seeds and sumak. Zaatar is a traditionally eaten as a snack or an aperitif and is the perfect healthy appetiser for lovers of fine food everywhere.

Zait & Zaatar is eaten by pouring Zait in one of the Terra Rossa dipping pots, Zaatar in another, and then by simply dunking a piece of bread into the Zait and then dipping it into the Zaatar. Zait & Zaatar can also be sprinkled over salads, houmous, haloumi cheese, Greek yogurt, and as seasoning to liven up vegetables and spice up chicken, lamb, fish, etc...

Our delicious olive oils are available in elegantly packaged 250ml and 500ml bottles, alongside rustic hand-made terracotta jugs with dipping pots, and a wide selection of distinctive jute bags, natural corrugated card gift packs and hand-carved wooden gift boxes. Prices start at: £2.75 for a 100g Zaatar pack, £4.95 for 250ml Evoo, £5.95 for 250ml Sinolea, to £19.95 for a terracotta dipping kit. A rustic display stand is also available to stockists.
