The legend claims that olive trees were first found in Syria, in the ancient city-state of Ebla. The Syrian soil and climate are still, as always, the best suited for the growth of olives. Though packaged in the UAE, the oil is sourced directly from Syrian farmers, thus supporting them and their families.
