Among Darmmess’s olive oils from distinct Lebanese terroirs, Lebanese Olive Oil Rashaya El Foukhar expresses the character of the village of Rashaya El Foukhar in southern Lebanon. It is a high-phenolic, filtered extra virgin olive oil produced exclusively from unripe green olives of the traditional Souri variety. Its quality was evaluated with an organoleptic score of 92/100.
Its aromatic profile combines freshly cut grass and ripe tomato with delicate fruity nuances of apple and banana. On the palate, it opens with pronounced vegetal bitterness reminiscent of radish, followed by warming pungency, while notes of bitter almond and fresh walnut emerge in the finish. This oil pairs particularly well with hummus, labneh, legumes, roasted vegetables, salads, fish, and fresh bread.
Producer
Darmmess began as a social enterprise in Deir Mimas, the native village of its foudner, in southern Lebanon, rooted in the preservation of its ancient olive groves and the people who have cared for them for generations.
Since 2025, that mission has expanded along the historic Path of Revelation, supporting smallholder farmers with a particular focus on women and youth, while producing exceptional high-phenolic extra virgin olive oils that bring the character of these unique Mediterranean terroirs to consumers in 15 countries.
Darmmess has grown into a celebration of land, people and provenance, in full traceability and transparency.Its oils are naturally rich in phenolic compounds and antioxidants. Recognized with 25 international awards, Darmmess is now extending its Mediterranean journey beyond Lebanon, including a limited-edition PDO Kalamata oil produced in Greece.
