What House of Zejd is known for
House of Zejd sells olive oils and related products from its shop on Mar Mitr Street in Beirut's Achrafieh district. Its selection includes extra-virgin and infused oils alongside tapenades and prepared olives. Olive-oil soaps form a separate part of the range, while the brand's Lebanese olive-growing story is connected with Akkar.
House of Zejd is an olive-focused shop on Mar Mitr Street in Beirut's Achrafieh district. Its current pickup listing places it in the Issa Building, opposite the Brazilian cultural centre. Extra-virgin olive oil is the core of the offer, with infused versions providing a different choice from the plain oils.
The Zejd brand describes its olive derivatives as Lebanese in origin. A 2016 account of the shop connected the Fares family's olive-growing history with Baino in Akkar and described Youssef Fares' work modernising the family business. That agricultural background belongs to the oil's production story, while the Beirut address is the retail destination.
Tapenades and prepared olives extend the food selection beyond bottles of oil. Olive-oil soaps form another category, separate from products intended for cooking. Start with the intended use when comparing them: an infused oil for dipping is a different purchase from a plain oil or a jar of olives. The wider catalogue also contains other foods, whose origin should be checked individually rather than assumed from the olive-oil label.
