Lebanon Classic

Maknoon’s Lebanese extra virgin olive oil is an authentic expression of Levantine agricultural tradition. Sourced from centuries-old olive trees that grow in elevated terrain and thrive solely on natural rainfall, this oil captures the richness of its origin in every drop.

Cold-extracted from carefully selected olives harvested across various regions of Lebanon, the production process blends traditional methods with modern quality controls to deliver a pure, well-balanced product that stays true to its roots. Once in the United Arab Emirates, the oil is packaged with care to preserve its natural freshness and character.

With a smooth, radiant texture, this extra virgin olive oil is ideal for everyday use as well as special occasions. Its quality makes it a trusted choice for those who value authenticity, flavor, and the story behind every ingredient.
