Rising like an oasis from the surrounding desert, the single-estate family farm is fed by natural artesian wells and employs Syrian and Iraqi refugees as well as locals to tend its 315,000 olive trees over 120 hectares. Here, processes are as pure as possible; cars stop at the farm’s gates; fallen leaves and branches are composted and returned to the soil; solar panels provide most of the farm’s energy, and all water from its press is recycled into the cultivation of its award-winning olives – once picked, they’re pressed within the hour.

Water and sun, earth and time: in a world which often pits profit against quality, that’s a formula more radical than it might sound. Launching with four extra virgin varieties – aromatic Arbequina, full-bodied Arbosana, ‘King of olives’ Koroneiki and a blended mix – available in one litre tins, ONSURI is the definition of delicacy. First Dawn is made with Koroneki olives from the year’s first harvest. Picked by hand as the sun rises, First Dawn promises purity, robustness and extraordinary depth of flavour.
