Region by region
We tasted our way across Lebanon. Only the best of the best made it into our bottles.
Every Lebanese family has an opinion on whose olive oil is best.
We tasted our way across Lebanon, region by region, and only the best of the best made it into our bottles.
Our story
My father has a habit. Whatever it is, he finds every version of it, tastes them side by side, and settles on the best. Over the years, we’ve done more taste tests than I can count.
Sooner or later the habit had to reach olive oil, the one subject Lebanese families argue about most. So we did what we always do. We tasted across regions, compared, and kept tasting.
There is no single best region. There are places where people take real care of their land and their oil.
Zaitná is how we share those places. Each edition comes from one village and one producer we chose by tasting, and it carries their name.
How an edition is chosen
It starts when we hear about a village's olive oil, or someone shares a sample and we love it.
We travel to that village and ask around about its best olive groves.
You can tell a grove that is cared for just by looking at the trees. Those are the ones we pick.
We meet the people who own the land, taste their oil, and collect samples.
We taste all the samples side by side, and only the best one is bottled as Zaitná.
Editions
Each edition is a limited run from a single place, with its own colour on the bottle. When it is gone, it is gone until the next harvest.
Mountainous Lebanese taste
At an altitude of 1,200–1,400 meters, Kfarmishki lies in the heart of the Beqaa, where fertile lands and a cool mountain climate produce exceptional olives. The N.5 edition is a golden-green extra virgin olive oil, known for its balanced flavor profile and subtle peppery finish, reflecting the essence of Lebanon’s Beqaa valley.
Southern Lebanese taste
Due to the ongoing war in the South, we are not producing it this year. We hope to be back next year.
