The Mediterranean climate that Lebanon enjoys in addition to the fertile clay soils of the Koura region, in North Lebanon, make it ideal for a prosperous olive crop.
At Olive Harvest our superior cultivars of olives, namely Beldi and Souri are carefully handpicked and transferred directly to a traditional stone press (Mekbiss) that crushes the fruit until a fine paste is obtained. This paste is pressed through porous sheets of felt (khous) which will separate the solid from the liquid. The liquid part separates to yield vegetable water and extra virgin olive oil. |
