About ZEYT
Our Story & Mission
ZEYT was born from a mission to bring Jordanian olive oil to the global stage, showcasing its exceptional quality and deep rooted heritage.
The earliest domestication of olive trees traces back to the Levant long before the Romans spread this tradition across the wider Mediterranean basin. Yet, despite this rich history, Levantine olive oil remains largely overlooked in the global market. ZEYT is here to change that.
Our mission is simple: to share our premium olive oil with the world. Every drop of ZEYT carries the legacy of generations who have nurtured these trees, producing an oil that is as pure as the land it comes from.
The Farm & Heritage
For centuries, our farm in the mountains of Jalaad, has been home to thriving olive groves. Our land is steeped in history, with an ancient Roman oil press still standing as a testament to the region’s long tradition of olive cultivation.
In the 1970s, our grandfather continued this legacy by planting new trees, guided by a belief in natural cultivation free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or artificial irrigation. His commitment to purity lives on today
Our Olive Oil
At ZEYT, we are committed to producing the highest-quality extra virgin olive oil. Our trees are never artificially irrigated—they rely solely on rainwater, just as they have for generations. This natural approach, combined with fertile soil and an ideal climate, produces olives rich in flavour, depth, and complexity.
Unlike mass-produced oils, ZEYT olives are harvested early in the season and by hand to capture a bold, complex flavour and to maximise the olive’s natural antioxidants. Cold pressing the oil within hours of harvest preserves these antioxidants known as polyphenols at their peak.
We control every step of the process from cultivating the trees and harvesting the fruit to pressing, bottling, and selling the oil. With no third parties involved, we ensure the integrity and quality of every drop.
What Makes ZEYT Different?
Cold Pressed & Pure: Our olives are harvested early and cold pressed within hours, locking
in their bold, intense flavour and naturally high levels of antioxidants.
Completely Natural: No pesticides, no chemicals just nature at its finest.
Rich & Complex Taste: A perfect balance of peppery notes, fresh green aromas, and a silky
finish.
Sustainability & Quality
Sustainability is at the heart of ZEYT. We handpick our olives to minimise harm to local wildlife and avoid the mechanical harvesting methods that can disrupt nesting birds and small animals.
Our natural approach to pest control means we never use chemical fertilisers or pesticides—protecting the health of the soil, the trees, and the wider ecosystem. Our oil is completely free from synthetic inputs, and we’re currently working towards full organic certification.
Bringing ZEYT to London
London was the natural choice for our international debut. Despite the global popularity of olive oil, there is a lack of high quality, high-polyphenol olive oil in the UK market. ZEYT is here to fill that gap, offering a healthier, richer, and more authentic alternative.
With its superior taste and exceptional nutritional benefits, ZEYT is poised to become a staple in the UK’s food scene whether in Michelin-starred kitchens, premium supermarkets, or the homes of those who appreciate true quality.
We believe that no one in the UK, or anywhere in the world, has experienced olive oil like this before. Now, it’s time for you to taste the difference.
