How to use it in the Kitchen

This Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an essential and versatile ingredient—whether you’re cooking traditional Emirati dishes or exploring flavors from around the world.

In Emirati cuisine, drizzle it over harees, thareed, machboos, or salona to enhance the richness of spices and slow-cooked meats. It’s also perfect for preparing mezze like hummus, baba ganoush, or fattoush, where its deep, natural flavor brings authenticity to every bite.

In international cooking, use it to dress fresh salads, marinate meats or seafood, or finish dishes like pasta, soups, roasted vegetables, or artisan pizza. For a taste of its Syrian origin, try it in a traditional fattet batenjen—a dish made with eggplant, yogurt, and crispy bread, where the olive oil beautifully ties all the ingredients together. You can also enjoy it simply with warm bread and za’atar, or as a healthy breakfast with toast and fresh tomato.

As a Halal-friendly product made without artificial additives, this oil is ideal for those who are mindful of what they consume and value a healthy, natural diet.

Storage Recommendations

To preserve its quality and natural benefits:

• Store in a cool, dry, and dark place.
