When the Romans conquered the Phoenician hills on the Eastern Mediterranean coast thousands of years ago, they left an indelible mark on the land by planting olive trees every place they stayed. Our name, Phoenicia, pays tribute to the Romans who planted some of the ancient trees at the family orchard where we harvest our olives.
Making olive oil by traditional means is expensive, time-consuming and quite labor-intensive, but to Phoenicia, the high quality of olive oil produced from this method is well worth the patience, effort and cost. With the demand for olive oil increasing rapidly, the objective of many companies is to manufacture large quantities of olive oil quickly and cheaply, regardless of the resulting quality.
When you purchase a bottle of Phoenicia's Olive Oil, you know that extensive measures have been taken to create a gourmet olive oil of unsurpassed quality. Phoenicia preserves all the healthful benefits of the product while truly encapsulating the flavorful essence of the olive fruit.
Phoenicia's Forte unfiltered and unrefined olive oils are imported from Lebanon and is available in 500 ml bottles. Superior attributes of our oil includes:
- Extra virgin, decanted and cold pressed from ancient olive trees, some over 2,000 years old
- Dry-farmed, pesticide-free and very low yield, producing every other year
- Hand harvested, then stone-crushed in the traditional manner
- Unfiltered and unrefined to maximize nutritional value
- Sustains higher cooking temperatures than regular olive oils
