In the heart of Northern Lebanon lie unblemished olive groves that serve as a
reminder of the traditions and values that Antonios Masoud Altirs’ father had
practiced over 80 years ago. With only a few acres and a passion, he
began farming olives in 1933. Three generations later, his grandsons are
continuing what their grandfather had started so long ago. Their love for
dipping bread in quality olive oil urged them to invest in expanding the olive
groves to approximately 100 acres near their ancestral home. The Altirs
boys began manufacturing olive oil products according to Lebanese traditions of
harvesting, followed by cold pressing the olives within 24 hours. The
soil, water, climate, and altitude of the area where the fruits are grown make
the Altirs brand exceptional. Initially, the olives and olive oil they
produced was shared with friends and family. Today, through their farm in
Northern New Jersey, the Altirs family is able to provide many families with
certified ultra-premium U.S. Grade A 100% extra virgin olive oil, which is a
staple in many Mediterranean cultures.
Knowing that healthy choices
with the best ingredients are important to their family, the Altirs vision is
to bring the finest extra virgin olive oil products to your family.
