FAMILY RESERVE

THE OIL of OUR HOME

The Family Reserve is the oil we grew up on—the oil of our grandparents’ kitchen, our parents’ table, and our own daily meals. Harvested from the mixed family orchards of Zgharta, this oil carries the taste of tradition, simplicity, and home.
It is crafted to be the pure, everyday gold that fills our salads, dips, mezze, and warm dishes

The Story

Every October, our family gathers to harvest the olives from the orchards we’ve maintained for generations. These are the same lands where we learned to taste olive oil, to respect the season, and to value quality over quantity.

Family Reserve comes from these orchards—a blend of Souri olives harvested early, handpicked, and cold-extracted within hours.

It’s the oil we always keep at home:

  • Versatile
  • Fresh
  • High in polyphenols
  • Perfect for daily use
  • Protected in Bag-in-Box to stay fresh longer

This is authentic Lebanese EVOO, made with the same respect our grandparents practiced.
