A Taste of Home.
The Lunchbox Memories
"My Teta used to send me to school with a labneh sandwich and a handful of olives knotted tight in a sandwich bag so the brine wouldn't leak on my notebooks. Today we're offering the same delicious olives, just in a cleaner, more modern format."
Growing up, that simple lunch was the highlight of my day. It was packed with love and the rich, vibrant flavors of Jordan. But as I grew older and spent over a decade working in corporate America, I found myself constantly on the go. I was always frustrated by the snack aisle because everything felt artificial or uninspired. I just wanted a quick snack with real soul. I craved the savory olives I grew up eating, and more than anything, I missed the ones my grandma Eveleen made. I could not find anything on the market that came close to the taste of her kitchen, so I decided to make them myself.
Rooted in Jordan, Packed in Texas
I decided it was time to bring the authentic flavors of my childhood to the world. I knew that to do this right, we could not cut any corners. We proudly use Teta Eveleen's actual, generations-old recipes to recreate that exact flavor.
We also went straight to the source by partnering directly with local farmers in Jordan. They help us handpick the prized Nabali olive variety from ancient, sun-drenched groves along the Jordan River. Once we have the perfect olives and authentic spices, they make their way to our headquarters in Houston, Texas. Here in Houston, we carefully pack them into our convenient, liquid-free pouches. You get delicious single-serve green olives, without any of the inconveniences.
A Snack You Can Feel Good About
If you know a Middle Eastern Teta, you know her kitchen is the heartbeat of the family. We hold ourselves to her standard by creating a snack that is as wholesome as it is delicious. I wanted to make sure that connecting with tradition did not mean compromising on your health.
