OUR OILS
Three Oils.
One Heritage.
Pure Lebanese Extra
Virgin Olive Oil.
Each bottle tells the story of its grove — shaped by tree age, soil, and the hands that harvested it. At ZAY, we produce only three oils. Not because we can’t produce more — but because we choose not to.

Why Bag-in-Box?
Protects from light and oxygen — the inner bag collapses as oil is used, eliminating air contact entirely. Your oil stays as fresh on the last drop as on the first. Unfiltered for full character.

Bag‑in‑Box
Three Oils. The Same Uncompromising Standard.
Early Harvest
Picked in the first weeks of October, when polyphenols are at their peak and the fruit is still firm and green.
Cold-Extracted
Pressed within five hours of harvest, at controlled temperatures. No heat. No shortcuts. Full nutritional integrity preserved.
Fully Traceable
Every bottle carries a QR code linking to its grove, tree age, harvest date, and independent laboratory analysis. Nothing is hidden.
