South Lebanon’s Award-Winning Olive Oil Is Back on the Shelves!
South Lebanon’s award-winning olive oil Darmmess is making a major comeback following two gold medals at the prestigious NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition in New York, followed by another gold at the Olio Nuovo Days in Abu Dhabi.
Launched in 2019 in the village of Deir Mimas, Darmmess is a social enterprise supporting small-scale farmers and preserving Lebanese heritage in every drop. After surviving a period of intense instability and war in the South, their return to the market is a defiant message of hope.
Darmmess was launched in 2019 in the village of Deir Mimas in the south. Today, it proves that Lebanese olive oil is capable of competing globally. Beyond awards, Darmmess supports local farmers and reflects the Lebanese heritage and craftsmanship in every drop of oil.
What makes this “Liquid Gold” different?
According to their website and the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, here’s why their olive oil is classified as liquid gold:
– High-Phenolic Power: Packed with antioxidants and health benefits that go far beyond your average kitchen oil.
– The “Souri” Soul: Made from monovarietal Souri olives, a traditional Levantine treasure. It offers a complex balance of bitterness, spice, and fruitiness.
– Craftsmanship: Early-harvested and cold-pressed at the perfect moment of ripeness.
Darmmess is a kitchen staple that showcases the resilience of South Lebanon and the people who harvest it.
Supporting Darmmess isn’t just about upgrading your kitchen pantry with world-class, award-winning oil. It’s about fueling a social enterprise that stands by its farmers when they need it most. After everything Lebanon has endured, stories of rebuilding like this are a blueprint for the future.
