Maknoon renews its Levantine Olive Oil Website

Maknoon has recently launched its new corporate website, marking a milestone in its digital journey. Maknoon — which means “treasured” or “well-preserved” in Arabic — is a luxury olive oil brand founded in the UAE, dedicated to honoring the Levantine cultural heritage. Its founder, Hanan Wehbi, a certified olive oil sommelier of Lebanese origin, created the brand to reconnect with the authentic flavors of her homeland and bring them into the modern lifestyle.

With this new website, Maknoon aims to bring its vision to a wider audience, while emphasizing how vital a strong online presence is for artisanal and purpose-driven olive oil brands.

Why an online presence matters in the olive oil world

In today’s digital-first world, having an online presence is no longer optional — it’s essential. For brands like Maknoon, which offer a unique story and a premium product, the website becomes more than a shop: it’s a digital storefront open 24/7 to anyone in the world.

Maknoon’s new website allows the brand to showcase its identity, share the story behind each bottle, and present the values that make it unique. With the growing e-commerce market in the UAE, having a platform that makes it easy for consumers to explore and purchase products is critical. The site enables Maknoon to reach customers who are not only looking for olive oil, but for meaning, origin, and trust.

A brand with a mission: Supporting levantine small producers

What makes Maknoon truly special is its commitment to small producers in the Levant — particularly in Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. The brand works exclusively with family-run farms and artisans who continue to produce olive oil using traditional, sustainable methods passed down through generations.

Maknoon ensures that these producers are paid fairly and in advance, empowering them to continue their craft with dignity and security. Beyond business, Maknoon has also taken social responsibility to heart: following the Beirut port explosion in 2020, the brand donated 50% of its profits to support victims through local NGOs.

Each bottle of Maknoon tells a story of heritage, land, and care — a story that now has a digital platform to be shared with the world.

A natural partnership: Maknoon x Giving Oil

Maknoon’s growth strategy also includes key partnerships that help expand its visibility and impact. One such partnership is with Giving Oil, a trusted olive oil store in UAE that specializes in premium oils from carefully selected producers.

This collaboration is a natural fit. Both Maknoon and Giving Oil share the same vision: offering authentic, high-quality olive oils while supporting responsible sourcing and transparency. Thanks to this alliance, Maknoon products are now available on Giving Oil’s platform, reaching more customers who seek exceptional oils with a story behind them.

Tradition meets innovation

Maknoon’s new website is a clear reflection of its values: tradition, excellence, and innovation. Through digital storytelling, e-commerce, and meaningful partnerships, the brand is bridging the gap between the old and the new.

In a world where consumers care more about what they consume and who they support, Maknoon is proving that it’s possible to stay rooted in heritage while evolving with the times. Its new online presence is more than just a tech upgrade — it’s a statement of purpose, a gateway to culture, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
