Lebanese extra virgin olive oil is known for its dark color and intense flavor that leaves a mark on your soul.

• Most of this intense flavor comes from the dark red soil and the heavy humid air that keeps the olive trees moisturized under a blazing sun.
• These olive trees are almost never watered and their endurance within a rich soil is believed the reason behind the resulting flavor intensity.
