Our story

Some Stories Take Centuries to Grow.

From Jordan’s enduring olive-growing traditions comes an oil shaped by the land, the seasons, and generations of agricultural knowledge.

Olives have grown on this land since antiquity. Some Jordanian groves still keep trees from the Roman era, their trunks twisted and hollowed by centuries of wind and harvest. Our oil is sourced from distinguished groves where trees like these still stand.

Produced in Jordan

Every tin comes from Jordanian groves and is produced in Jordan.

Rain-fed (Ba'li)

The trees drink winter rain instead of routine irrigation, the traditional Ba'li way.

Roman olive trees

Sourced from distinguished groves where olive trees from the Roman era still stand.

First-grade extra virgin

The Roman olive

Why Roman olive oil is rare.

In Jordan, the oldest olive trees are known as Roman olives. Some are believed to be more than 2,000 years old, dating back to Roman rule, and they still bear fruit. Our oil comes from distinguished groves where these trees still stand.

  • More than 2,000 years old

    Some of Jordan’s Roman olive trees are believed to date back to Roman rule, and they are still harvested today.

  • An ancient lineage

    Jordan’s National Agricultural Research Center counts these trees among the oldest olive genotypes in the Mediterranean.

  • Rarer every year

    Many old trees have been lost to urban sprawl, firewood cutting and uprooting for gardens. Jordan now protects them by law.

  • Small, rain-fed harvests

    These trees live on winter rain alone. Their harvests are small and vary from year to year, so their oil is always limited.

The harvest

Picked by hand. Sorted by hand.

An olive starts to lose quality the moment its skin breaks. So the fruit is picked by hand, straight from the branch, and sorted by hand before it goes to the mill.

Picked by hand

  • No bruising. Fruit that is beaten or shaken down splits, and damaged fruit starts to oxidise and ferment.
  • Picked when ready. The hand harvest starts in mid‑November, after the first winter rains.
  • Gentle on ancient trees. No beating of branches that have stood for centuries.

Sorted by hand

  • Bruised, overripe and fallen fruit is set aside.
  • Leaves, twigs and grit are taken out.
  • Only sound, fresh olives go to the mill.

Why it matters: damaged fruit raises acidity and leaves defects in the flavour. Those are exactly the tests an oil must pass to be called extra virgin.

Cold extraction

Why “cold” is the word that matters

Extra virgin olive oil is the juice of the olive. It may be made only by mechanical means, under conditions, especially temperatures, that do not change the oil. Keeping the olive paste cool is what protects its aroma and its natural polyphenols.

Olive paste temperature during extraction

Below 27 °C: fresh aromas and natural polyphenols are kept.

Hotter: more oil comes out, but aromas fade and polyphenols break down.

27 °C is the limit for “cold extraction” and “first cold pressing” under EU olive oil rules.In a 2021 study, olive paste mixed at 20 °C kept more total phenols than paste mixed at 25 °C or 30 °C.
Harvest time in an olive grove

From olive to tin

  1. Picked and sorted by hand

    Picked from the branch, sorted, and taken to the mill while fresh.

  2. Crushed to a paste

    Crushers break the fruit and pit into a smooth paste.

  3. Mixed slowly, kept cool

    The paste is stirred so tiny drops of oil join up, below 27 °C.

  4. Oil separated

    A press or centrifuge separates oil from water and pulp. No heat, no solvents.

  5. Rested and sealed

    The oil settles, then goes into a sealed tin that keeps out light.

What “extra virgin” has to mean

  • ≤ 0.8%free acidity at most, the international limit for extra virgin (0.8 g per 100 g).
  • NoneNo heat treatment, no refining and no chemical solvents. Mechanical extraction only.
  • PanelA tasting panel must find it fruity and free of defects.

How to taste it

  • FruityFresh grass, green leaf or ripe fruit on the nose.
  • BitterA clean bitterness on the tongue, a sign of fresh polyphenols.
  • PepperyA catch at the back of the throat. A small cough is a good sign.

One oil for the whole kitchen

Extra virgin olive oil is not only for drizzling. It holds up to everyday heat, so one tin covers the salad, the stew and the frying pan.

Health

The fat your body knows

Olive oil is mostly monounsaturated fat, and extra virgin keeps the natural antioxidants that refining strips out. That is why it sits at the heart of the Mediterranean diet.

    Most of olive oil is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat. 55–83% is the range set in the international olive oil standard.

    Eating this much oil high in oleic acid, in place of saturated fat, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. The U.S. FDA calls the evidence supportive but not conclusive.

Tradition

The blessed tree, at home

Across the region, olive oil has always been more than food. Families kept a jar by the door as well as by the stove, and passed down its uses from one generation to the next.

  • Hair

    Warm oil massaged into the scalp and ends, left for an hour, then washed out.

  • Hands, heels and elbows

    Rubbed into dry skin at night, especially in winter.

  • Massage

    Warmed and used to massage tired shoulders, backs and legs.

  • A spoon with honey

    A spoon of oil with honey, a home remedy many families give for a scratchy throat.

These are traditional home uses passed down in families, not medical treatments. For any health concern, see a doctor.
