AlZein
“ALZEIN" is an extra virgin olive oil marked by the taste and the scents of the olives harvested in the early autumn. Well recommended for consumers who prefer a high quality extra virgin olive oil, with a lighter taste but still has the flavors of the olives, and the aftertaste reminiscent of artichokes.
Near the village of Kufair, (North of Jordan) the farm may be on the exact same ground where Jacob (يَعْقُوب) grew his farm before crossing the Jabbok
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.
