Olivarès is a cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Olives (no additives, no preservatives).
Every autumn since 1933, over two hundred olive growers have a pilgrimage to Nicolas Fares and Sons’ historical olive oil press in Lebaa, South of Lebanon.
The finest olives from the Baladi variety are then handpicked, squeezed, and bottled into this finest extra virgin olive oil conceived on rain-fed hands in the South of Lebanon.
Olivarès is unfiltered to preserve the color and texture of the oil. It is stored in a cool and dark place in stainless steel tanks.
The supply chain is under the staff’s control, from the olive orchards to the oil storage and bottling. In addition, we are adopting the newest technology in olive milling, ensuring the best quality and quantity results.
