Our Exquisite Olive Oil from Afrin, the Cradle of Olive Trees
Appreciation for the 'liquid gold', as olive oil is often referred to, has steadily increased in recent years. Today's consumers are more interested than ever in where their food comes from and how it is produced. We at Jegit – Pour La Vie have responded to this demand by offering our exquisite, sustainable olive oil from Afrin, a region renowned for its historic olive trees and superior quality olive oil.
Our olive oil, which we offer under the brand name Jegit - Pour La Vie, is a pure, natural product. It is cold-pressed to preserve valuable nutrients and flavors.

The result is an oil rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, making it an excellent choice for those who desire a healthy and flavorful diet.
Sustainability
In today's fast-paced world, the importance of sustainability in our diet is continually increasing. Our olive oil is not only produced from traditionally harvested olives, but is also sustainably packaged. We utilize Pouch-Bags - flexible, lightweight bags that have a smaller carbon footprint than glass bottles. They reduce energy consumption during production and transport and require less storage space. At the same time, they ensure that the oil remains fresh and protected.

Origin
What makes our olive oil special is its origin: it comes from Afrin, a region in northwestern Syria known for its ancient olive trees. Some of these trees are over 3000 years old and still bear fruit to this day. Afrin olive oil is a secret tip among insiders. In Germany, it is still relatively unknown, but in the rest of the world, it is highly popular and appreciated for its high quality.

Taste
Our olive oil stands out for its unique taste. It is extremely fruity, with a buttery taste that indulges your palate. The finish is peppery, providing a pleasant contrast to the gentle beginning. This taste profile makes it versatile in use, whether in salads, for cooking, or for dipping bread.
The Journey from Olive to Oil
At Jegit - Pour La Vie, we place great value on transparency. We know the journey of our olives from the tree to the bottle very precisely and clearly distance ourselves from the practice of 'bloody olive oil'. The olives are hand-harvested, gently pressed, and the oil carefully bottled. This ensures that you receive a product that is ethically correct and of the highest quality.
