Olive Oil (Last Season)

Olive oil is the oil pressed from olives and a staple of the Lebanese kitchen. This is olive oil from last season, as listed at the shop. It is commonly drizzled over hummus, labneh and moutabbal, used to dress fattoush, tabbouleh and other salads, and eaten with za'atar and bread. It is also used for cooking, for frying vegetables and eggs, for baking manakish, and for preserving olives, makdous and labneh balls. At Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf, olive oil is sold by the kilo. As a package-free grocery store, Dekenet Al Nes encourages customers to bring their own bottles or containers and refill them, which helps cut plastic waste and single-use packaging.
