A truly exclusive and unique beverage, this "red" beer is pleasant in all aspects. It has a bright, cognac hue with an amber tint and a glow from the inside. This beer is brewed of caramel malt; its taste is slightly spicy, wonderfully soft and rich. A special edition because "Red" is not filled in bottles but only available in draft at Colonel Batroun.
Anise cookies from Le Gabarit. Special signature cookies with an average of 15Kcal per piece. Those cookies have no added sugar, are low in fat and are suitable for diabetics… They're super delicious as well. Once you start, you cannot stop.
Sip on a delicious mazaher drink by making what the Lebanese call “white coffee.” It is in fact more like a simple tea of hot water infused with orange blossom water, made even better with a touch of sugar or honey. Chill the mixture and pour over ice cubes to make excellent iced orange blossom water this summer.
Covered with sesame seeds, Mayrig's sfouf are like no other. Once you plunge into the first bite, you’ll quickly forget the stress you've encountered all day...who cares about the calories... they are addictive!
Inspired by the tree of life and blossoming colors, the team behind Gustav bakery have traveled the world to bring back some of the finest essences that make up its flavor. Nutella and pure pleasure!

- Vine leaves with Labneh from Mreijat, Bekaa
Dolma is a unique product we found up in the Bekaa. Fresh vine leaves stuffed with goat labneh and olives bathing in olive oil.
There's a reason shirataki noodles are branded as "Miracle Noodles." These translucent, gelatinous Japanese noodles, which are made from the konjac yam, are low in calories and carbohydrates and can be substituted in a variety of recipes that call for pasta.
We went all the way up to Jezzine to get you this bread which I believe is one of the best this country has to offer. Bread I love to fill with goat Labneh balls and toast to perfection. That's awesome! Remember, that's not your usual commercial Lebanese loaf but a harder, thicker and different version carefully wood baked.
Made of sourdough and called the seven cereals, these fingers are rich in antioxidants, iron and slow carbs, are suitable for diabetics, and contain lots of fibers for better digestion. You can feel the seeds in every bite.
- Homemade Strawberry Jam from Mrs. Safa Elias, Dik El Mehdi
The first time I met Mrs. Safa Elias I was astonished and amazed by her green tomato jam until she got me this fresh, unique and condensed strawberry jam jar. All you have to do is taste, you'll understand.
Yes, eat it as is, raw, just like a cucumber. Rich in water and flavor, tender, fresh and non-fibrotic, you will be positively astonished to taste something that good. It’s so juicy that the water will drop from it with every bite
- Laurel Liquid Soap from Kfar Kela, Marjaayoun
Handmade soap chosen for its rich aromas and beneficial values. It's unique for its rich aromas and good texture.
