Our Journey
A Family Separated by War
Shadia’s parents left Lebanon in 1974, just before the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War. At just 18 years old, they made the difficult decision to leave everything behind in search of safety and a better future in the U.S. The war that followed made it nearly impossible for them to return, keeping them separated from loved ones for decades.
Falling in Love with Lebanon
At 16, Shadia took her first trip to Lebanon—a journey that felt like coming home. Born and raised in the U.S., she had only heard stories about her parents’ homeland. But stepping into Beirut, with its vibrant energy and warm hospitality, she knew this place was a part of her.
That summer, she spent two unforgettable months exploring Lebanon, going from restaurant to restaurant and immersing herself in its culture. During her trip, Shadia witnessed a moment that would stay with her forever—her mother’s emotional reunion with her sister after 18 years apart.
Year after year, she returned, deepening her connection to the land and its people. In 2018, she made it official—purchasing a beautiful villa in Aley, a place she could always return to.
Yusha is the heart behind the mission at Mediterranean Gold. In 2019, Shadia’s young son developed severe IBS. Conventional medicine offered little relief. After struggling with chronic health issues for years—including fatigue, inflammation, and digestive problems— Shadia’s father, who grew up in a small Lebanese village, suggested a simple but powerful remedy: pure, locally harvested olive oil.
Intrigued, Shadia traveled to the village and discovered something extraordinary—farmers hand-harvesting olives, pressing them using centuries-old techniques, and creating an oil unlike anything found in stores. She tasted it fresh from the press, and in that moment, she knew she had to bring this incredible olive oil back home to her son.
Through the power of extra virgin olive oil and a commitment to wellness, Yusha experienced a profound transformation in both body and mind Inspired by this journey, Mediterranean Gold was born—offering premium, health-focused products rooted in tradition and backed by personal experience. Yusha’s story is a testament to the healing potential of nature and the importance of quality you can trust.
From The Heart Of Lebanon
At Mediterranean Gold, our products are proudly sourced from the rich, fertile lands of Lebanon—a country known for its centuries-old tradition of producing some of the purest and most potent extra virgin olive oil in the world. Nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and mountain ranges, Lebanon’s ideal climate, ancient olive groves, and sustainable farming practices create the perfect conditions for high-quality, nutrient-dense olive oil. Every bottle of Mediterranean Gold is a tribute to this heritage, bringing the flavor, purity, and healing power of Lebanese olives directly to your table.
Rich in Antioxidants
Our Lebanese extra virgin olive oil is naturally high in polyphenols—powerful antioxidants known to support heart health, fight inflammation, and protect against cellular damage. These compounds are preserved through careful, cold-press extraction methods that honor the purity of the olive.
Naturally Anti-Inflammatory
Thanks to its high levels of oleocanthal and healthy fats, our oil offers natural anti-inflammatory benefits. Regular use may help reduce joint pain, support digestive health, and improve overall well-being—making it a perfect addition to any wellness routine.
Authentic Mediterranean Flavor
Beyond its health benefits, our oil delivers a bold, peppery taste that’s signature to high-quality Lebanese olive oil. Whether drizzled on salads, blended in dressings, or enjoyed by the spoonful, it brings authentic Mediterranean flavor and nutrition to every meal.
