Integrated
Olive Products Company (IOP) was established
by directives of His Majesty
King Abdullah II of Jordan in October 2001, with the aim
of making the country a leader in the production and sales of the finest
quality olive oil, regionally and internationally.
It has been a heritage
of Jordan to grow and handpick vintage olives. IOP
has taken this natural gift and now aims to produce high quality olive
oil under the brand name… Jordan’s Treasure Extra
Virgin Olive Oil.
IOP,
which is a member of the North American Olive Oil Association, appointed
a highly distinguished administrative and technical team to ensure the
successful achievement of this objective, and to inspect and oversee
every stage of the production and sales, thus guaranteeing the quality
of the olive oil produced and distributed.
The first move was
to set up an appropriate infrastructure in the olive fields of the Ajloun
Mountains of northern Jordan. State-of-the-art cold pressing machines
were acquired, in which olives are pressed at low temperatures, between
28C and 32C, thus preserving both the flavor and the nutritional components
of the oil.
Special attention
was paid to the bottling and packaging process. The latest bottling
techniques, along with meticulous laboratory surveillance control acidity,
peroxide and carbon distribution of the oil. These were incorporated
into the process to ensure premium quality extra virgin olive oil in
every Item produced.
Focusing on the
sole production of extra virgin olive oil, IOP has
perfected the art of cold pressing the olives with its distinguished
special aroma and deep fruity taste, at a level of less than 1% acidity.
Jordan’s
Treasure Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the most highly regarded
oil for its flavor and aroma. There are numerous factors that affect
the color, flavor and aroma of olive oil; different weather and soil
conditions, and in particular various types of olives, create distinctively
different oils. Extra virgin olive oil projects the most distinct ‘fruity’
flavor that only the best conditions of harvesting, production, processing
and storage can create. IOP promises and delivers excellence.
From harvesting
to bottling, IOP has managed to unlock one of the Middle
East’s hidden treasures, and Jordan’s heritage… This
is uniquely Jordan’s Treasure Extra Virgin
Olive Oil; it is done and perfected by utilizing the most modern
and hygienic global methods.
