AlBadia

“ALBADIA” is an extra virgin olive oil with a fresh, moderately spicy and intense taste. This oil is made with the olives from the first autumn harvests, to ensure the maximum rates of anti-oxidants in the oil.

The farm is located on the path of the Hijaz Railway and the station there had a man that sells coffee; hence the name "Gahawji" which means coffee boy in Arabic

Health Benefits

  • High Vitamin "E" since olives are harvested when they are still green.

  • We use vented crates, and press the olives within 6 hours of harvest to ensure low acidity levels

Nurturing & Picking

The olives we used in this oil are a mixture of Local Roman (70%), Spanish (20%) and Kalamata (10%) olives, this mixture gives that light and smooth taste.

The trees have been nurtured and taken care of by generations of farmers, which have passed their passion they have for the land and trees, to the next generations.

During picking season families from the near by villages join us in this process, just like their grandparents did.
