“The entire Mediterranean seems to rise out of the sour, pungent taste of black olives between the teeth. A taste older than meat or wine, a taste as old as cold water. Only the sea itself seems as ancient a part of the region as the olive and its oil, that like no other products of nature, have shaped civilizations from remotest antiquity to the present.,”wrote Lawrence Durrell.

Rediscovering food traditions and styles doesn't represent an escape from an increasingly homogenous word, heritage; instead, it is a need imposed by the most recent scientific discoveries in the nutritional filed, which indicate quite clearly that it also helps to improve the quality of life.

Built on an area of 7000 m², Zaitt Factory is located in Yadoudeh /  Madaba, 20 km south of Amman, 15 km northeast of Mount Nebo - Mount Nebo is believed to be the tomb of Moses, it is a windswept hill, protecting the ruins of a 4th and 6th century church whose floor is still covered with marvelous mosaics - from this location our olive oil story begins...

Our mature olives are individually handpicked and brought to the mill, where they are pressed the same day at temperatures below 25°C to preserve the unique freshness of the olive itself, in addition the process adds to the oil's health benefits (a higher percentage of antioxidant polyphenols). This unique olive oil is freshly packed preserving the distinct taste of the Jordanian Olives, the taste of the past, the taste of the oldest natural ingredient in the world. The oil is then stored in stainless steel tanks, and taken to the laboratory where the oil undergoes rigorous testing to ensure superior quality. Only then the oil is packaged.

Our company takes great pride in following a strict and controlled production ploicy for all our products.
