What grew over two centuries as a family heritage of pressing locally sourced olives from the northern hilly Beino landscape took on a full modernistic vocation in 2004, giving rise to Olive Trade and it's coveted Zejd brand.
Named after the Phoenician word for oil, Zejd®, perfectly highlights the rich historical background of the Lebanese olive oil in relation to its Phoenician origins
