CTC has really improved the image of my store.

Jordan at a Glance
Nestled in the cradle of history and civilizations, Jordan’s strategic location within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has made the country an agricultural and economical hub. Lush with fertile lands peppered with some of the world’s most celebrated touristic hotspots, Jordan is a destination that promises to deliver richness and authenticity on a multitude of fronts. A journey from north to south is nothing short of captivating, with landmarks such as the Jordan River, the site of the Baptism of Jesus, the Dead Sea (which is the lowest point on earth), and the rose red ancient city of Petra, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World dotting the way.
Beyond the country’s history, Jordan boasts a thriving food production sector, with exports to over 140 countries worldwide. It is also a thriving location for business and, to that effect, is supported by a variety of free trade agreements (FTAs) enabling the country to be a strategic supply route to many markets.
Home of the Olive
A combination of climate and culture, olives and olive oil production are an innate part of Jordan’s heritage, which dates back over 6,000 years. The land is full of flavor, texture and color, which all combine to produce a diverse range of top-grade olives and olive oil products that come in an array of exquisite characteristics and flavors.
Our table olives are carefully hand-picked, professionally processed and gently packed with Dead Sea salt utilizing the latest food production technologies. Our focus is on quality and authenticity, and we go the extra mile to ensure that the original flavor and form of the olive is preserved throughout the various production stages. Our olives are produced using the Nabali Mohassan olive, which is indigenous to Jordan and boasts a high flesh-to-pit ratio, producing one of the world’s best table olives in terms of taste, texture and its signature color.
