Three hundred trees. Not one more.
The pathThree hundred trees
Three hundred trees, one track to walk them all.
Planted by Malek’s great-grandfather. Eighteen metres apart, so that every one of them gets the light. At harvest we walk them one by one — each tree has its number, each number its pair of hands.

Hkeima, the soil that holds the water.
Clay and silt — what the old men of the village call good ground for an olive tree. A few kilometres from the sea, in the family for two centuries.

The gestureFour generations
The same gesture,four times over.
A gesture that comes back every autumn, repeated until it is right.

The tree47
One of three hundred.
Picked by hand so the fruit is never bruised. Cold pressed the same day, so the olive has no time to oxidise. No heat, no additives. Slower work — and it is the slowness that keeps the taste intact.
The first oil2026-2027 harvest
The light comes out gold.
Cut grass. Olive leaf. A quiet bitterness, and a peppery edge that arrives at the end and never takes over.

At the table
On your table.
One oil, three ways to keep it at home. The pouch and the Bag-in-Box shield it from light and air down to the last drop.
Refill: you keep your 1 litre pouch, we fill it again — you pay for the oil and the shipping only. Monthly, every two months or quarterly, with no commitment.
