The Syria Collection
AED630 exc. Vat
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. Get a special case of 3 Syrian-origin olive oil bottles (500ml) and enjoy the great tastes from the Levantine region.
Flavor Profile
Our Syrian Olive Oil is known for its slightly bitter and herbaceous harmony, hints of artichoke, and pale gold hues. The olives used to make Syrian olive oil are often harvested early, giving the oil a slightly bitter edge.
Pairing
- Drizzle over roasted vegetables such as bell peppers, eggplant, or zucchini for a flavorful and healthy side dish.
- Use as a base for marinades for grilled or roasted meats, such as chicken, beef, or lamb.
- Mix with balsamic vinegar and honey to create a sweet and tangy dressing for salads.
