Olive Trade®

Building on a centuries old legacy of passion, craftsmanship and know-how in the olive culture and pressing in the terroir of Baino, in the Akkar region of Lebanon, with a full modernistic vocation, Olive Trade® specializes in carefully crafted innovative olive-derived products, cured in the pure Mediterranean tradition with a contemporary twist since 2004.

It was during the early 19th century in Beino, a small communal village tucked away in the hills of northern Lebanon, when the Fares family tradition of pressing olives, meticulously gathered by hand from nearby orchards, first began.

The love and care for olives trickled through the generations, and in 2004, a modern element was added to the tradition, giving rise to Olive Trade and its array of quality brands.

Modernity in no way meant compromising know-how or quality control. Instead, it invited science to help preserve and advance beloved cultural practices, harvesting techniques, production, and storage, as a safeguard to exceptional quality.

A commitment to centuries of Mediterranean knowhow lies at the very foundations of Olive Trade, and extends to employing the highest standards in harvesting practices across state-of-the-art, eco-friendly production and storage facilities (ISO 22000: 2005, Eco label), all while maintaining strong support to the local farmer community, and implementing organic agriculture to protect the land for future generations.
