Sourcing & Quality
Libya’s olives are renowned for their superior quality, attributed to the Mediterranean climate and fertile soil.
Our sourcing practices emphasize sustainability and quality at every stage, from grove to press:
Harvesting: Olives are hand-harvested at their peak ripeness to ensure the highest oil quality. We practice careful handling to prevent bruising and maintain the fruit’s integrity.
Pressing: Within a few hours of harvest, our olives are cold-pressed using state-of-the-art machinery that maintains strict hygiene standards and transparency. This ensures the retention of beneficial nutrients and flavors.
Storage: After pressing, the oil is stored in dark, temperature-controlled tanks to protect it from light and heat, preserving its freshness and quality.
Nutritional Composition: Our olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and vitamins A and E, contributing to heart health and overall wellness.

Our Total Quality Management System is based on four principles
Laboratory Analyses : We rigorously analyze each batch of our olive oil to ensure it meets the highest
International Standards for “Extra Virgin” quality. Our comprehensive testing confirms that all components are consistently well below the prescribed limits, guaranteeing exceptional purity and excellence.
Control Procedures: Our commitment to quality is reflected in our rigorous control processes. Each drop of olive oil undergoes thorough scrutiny to detect any trace of insecticides, heavy metals, plasticizers, or other potential contaminants, ensuring that every bottle is impeccably safe for our consumers.
Nutritional Excellence: Our dedication to health is evident in our meticulous attention to the nutrient profile of our olive oil. We ensure that every drop is rich in essential components like vitamin E, phenols, and antioxidants, maintaining exceptional levels of these beneficial nutrients throughout.
Organoleptic Assessment: Every batch of our olive oil undergoes a refined sensory evaluation to ascertain its complex flavor profile and aromatic depth. This meticulous tasting process ensures that each oil is not only enriched with its inherent sensory qualities but also free from any imperfections, delivering an unparalleled sensory experience.
