Mymouné was started in 1989 by two sisters during the Lebanese civil war, to support the people of Ain el Kabou, a village on the slopes of Mt. Sannine in central Lebanon.  Because it was impossible to get fresh fruit to market, the sisters began preserving the fruit, hoping to sell the preserves after the conflict was settled.  Thus, today’s Mymouné, “My preserve” in Arabic, was formed.
