In the year 2000, Mr. Chafic Maalouf, owner and general manager, imported a small batch of extra virgin olive oil from his family's olive groves in North Lebanon into the United States. The unique olive oil was received with great excitement. Shortly after, and with high demand for the precious oil, continuous shipments started to flow in. As an agricultural Engineer, a crop Scientist, and a passionate olive oil maker, Mr. Maalouf devoted his experience and his talents into bringing the best quality olive oil into the US market at very affordable prices. Currently, Olive Harvest operates more than a hundred acres of olive groves in the fertile Koura region of North Lebanon with a projection of up to 500 acres by the year 2012.

In the year 2007, Mr. Maalouf welcomed his brother-in-law, Mr. Nazir Gerges into the company. Mr. Gerges is a medical engineer by profession and a passionate wine expert by hobby. Mr. Gerges devoted his wine talents and his shrewd business skills into expanding the company's domain to import and distribute the exquisite, award winning Clos St. Thomas wines from the Bekaa valley in Lebanon. Besides the olive oil and wine, Olive Harvest imports a fine line of specialty foods as Balsamic vinegar, olive tapenade, fig preserve and others.

Olive Harvest is a limited liability company, LLC, registered in the state of Massachusetts.
