Our Story
After over a decade in corporate America, constantly on the go, our founder Farris Nawas often found himself reaching for snacks—but never olives. As a lifelong olive lover, he was frustrated by the lack of options that tasted like the olives he grew up with back home in Jordan. Nothing came close to the ones his grandma used to make—rich, flavorful, and filled with love.
That’s where the vision for Teta’s Olives began. Determined to bring those authentic flavors to the world, Farris partnered with local olive farmers in Jordan, using his grandma’s cherished recipes to create something truly special. The result? A line of perfectly marinated olives, beautifully packaged for on-the-go convenience—mess-free and ready to enjoy wherever life takes you.
Teta’s Olives is the first and only Middle Eastern olive snack company, sharing a taste of home while honoring generations of tradition. Our story is about preserving heritage, delivering bold flavors, and fulfilling a dream to share my Teta's olives with the world.
OLIVES
Farris brings to the table an authentic Middle Eastern heritage, enveloped in memories of olive trees in his childhood backyard in Jordan. The essence of our snacks comes from the Nabali olives, handpicked from the ancient groves along the Jordan River, an area renowned for its rich olive history. These olives are more than just a healthy snack; they are a piece of history, a slice of tradition, and a testament to natural goodness.
INSPIRATION
Each olive is a tribute to Grandma Eveleen, whose generations-old recipes are the heart of our brand. "Teta" – meaning grandma in Arabic – embodies the love, care, and authenticity we pour into every snack pack. Our olives are not just nourishment; they are a homage to the grandmas like Eveleen who prepare food with an extra sprinkle of love.
