Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The taste of northern Lebanon is in this bottle! Brought to us by the Antonios Masoud Altirs family, in its third generation of olive farming. This aromatic oil is medium-bodied and smooth, with an easy complexity. An unfiltered oil, to enhance the olive flavor and increase the nutrients. A beautiful Altirs green box packages the bottle.

500 ml.

Lelo oil is brought to us by the Nassar family land in the rural villages of south Lebanon, where the olives are hand-picked, cold-crushed and pressed in the most time-honored olive oil production method. The resulting Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a smooth, velvety flavor with a peppery finish.

500 ml.

Our love of mint as a savory flavor maker knows no bounds! You can imagine how excited we were to discover Lebanese Mint Infused Extra-Virgin Olive Oil to share with you. Along with our totally unique Mint Salts (Favorite and Garlic), this is a box of goodness to love with lamb, poultry, pork, fish, vegetables, and salads. Also perfect swirled into labneh (thickened yogurt) as a dip.

Includes one 250 ml. bottle of Zejd Mint Infused Olive Oil, 2 oz. tin Favorite Mint Salt, 2 oz. tin of Garlic Mint Salt.

This set of imported, rare Lebanese olive oils makes a glorious holiday gift. Lebanon is known for its lush olive groves; Ze'Tune (which means "olive") is a very special olive oil made in Diermimas, Lebanon, the village of the Aboods. In this village there is a tree so old with a trunk so wide that it takes nearly the village to stand hand in hand all the way around--this ancient tree is represented on the bottle's label. Exceptional Olive Harvest extra-virgin oil also comes from a family farm in Lebanon. Both bottles of liquid gold are grassy, bright, buttery...everything you want out of the finest extra-virgin olive oil. Save it for drizzling over hummus and labneh, or topping appetizers like warm almond-stuffed dates with lime zest.

Recipes are in Maureen's acclaimed Rose Water & Orange Blossoms Lebanese cookbook, and at MaureenAbood.com.
