5000 years ago, the Akkadians, in the kingdom of Ebla, were the first people to produce olive oil. They called their precious olive oil "Zirtoon" This Syrian olive oil is still produced in much the same way as it was almost 5000 years ago. Hand picked, this olive oil is aromatically mild, with a mild tasting, sweet flavor. Sourced from Aleppo Syria. Perfect for everyday use. Less than .2% acidity
