The Professional Line

Our The Professional Line is an exclusive collection of extra virgin olive oils that celebrates the diverse flavors of the Levant. Once reserved for chefs and professional kitchens in Dubai, this range is now available to anyone who values authenticity and traceable origin in their everyday cooking.

This special edition includes three distinct options to choose from:

• Koura Lebanon: sourced from the mountainous Koura region in northern Lebanon, where olive cultivation is rooted in tradition.
• South Lebanon: produced on a recognized estate known for consistent quality and a more expressive profile.
• Palestine: made from hand-harvested olives, offering a softer, rounder character.

Flavor Profile

Each option within The Professional Line is offered individually, allowing you to select the origin and flavor profile that best suits your preferences and cooking style:

Koura Lebanon
With an acidity of just 0.17%—the lowest recorded in the region in years—this oil delivers a smooth, buttery texture with a subtle pungency. Its balance makes it ideal for both everyday use and more refined dishes.

South Lebanon
Sourced from an award-winning estate and featuring 0.3% acidity, this oil offers a bolder character with noticeable bitterness and a peppery finish. It’s perfect for those who enjoy more expressive flavors.

Palestine
Pale gold in color, this oil is gently bitter with a lingering peppery note and a fresh, grassy aroma. The olives are harvested later in the season, resulting in a rounder, more fluid texture.

Pairing

Each olive oil in The Professional Line has been selected for its ability to complement a wide range of dishes without overpowering the natural flavors of the ingredients. Here are a few ways to enjoy each variety in your kitchen:

Koura Lebanon
Pairs well with fish like sea bass or salmon, roasted vegetables, warm flatbread with za’atar, or salads with white cheese and olives.

South Lebanon
Ideal for heartier dishes such as roasted meats, stews, lentils, or grilled eggplant. It also works well as a finishing touch on warm soups.

Palestine
Perfect for dips like hummus or baba ganoush, fresh salads, or as a dipping oil with balsamic vinegar and spices. Adds smoothness when drizzled over cooked pasta or vegetables.

At Maknoon, we value respect for the land, the work of small producers, and full transparency of origin. Each oil in this line is cold-pressed, bottled in dark glass to preserve its freshness, and crafted for those who cook with purpose and intention.
