Inside the producer
One olive.
One grove.
Rammah Farms makes a single Coratina extra virgin olive oil — nothing blended in, nothing bought from elsewhere. One variety, one grove, one harvest a year.
Coratina comes from Puglia, in the heel of Italy and takes its name from the town of Corato. It's prized for a robust, peppery character — green-gold in the glass, full-bodied, with a clean pepper finish. An oil with an opinion. A Puglian olive grown in Egypt doesn't copy its Italian cousin; it elevates it, and the oil carries that intensity through.
Cold-pressed at first press to keep the polyphenols and flavour intact — no heat, no blending, no refining. The result is a bright, peppery extra virgin olive oil with the pungency that marks a fresh, well-made Coratina.
Every batch is lab tested for pesticides and heavy metals, the basis for the verification pills on the product page. Lab results are held by the producer; ask us if you'd like to see them.
Grown in Egypt's dry heat, long sun, cool nights, low humidity, Coratina ripens slowly and concentrates the flavour.
“Single source, single grove, single harvest.”
Why Egypt
Why Egypt
grows good
olives.
None of this is new ground — Egyptians were pressing oil from olives some 4,500 years ago, two thousand years before Rome pressed its first. The climate was always right; the oil is finally catching up.
Olives are not a tropical crop. They want heat, but dry heat — long sun, low humidity, poor stony soil, and a sharp drop in temperature at night. Too much rain or damp and the fruit swells, dilutes, and rots before it ripens. The olive does its best work where most things struggle.
That's exactly what Egypt offers. The growing regions are dry and intensely sunny, with hot days and cool nights and almost no humidity to trouble the fruit — close to ideal conditions for a hardy, late-ripening variety like Coratina, bred over centuries in the Mediterranean to withstand heat and drought. Fruit that ripens slowly under strong sun concentrates flavour rather than water, which is what gives a desert-grown oil its intensity.

Egypt is planting olives faster than almost anywhere on earth — a quiet revival of an ancient practice.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
What is
Coratina?
Coratina is a variety worth knowing by name: it comes originally from Puglia, the heel of Italy, where it was named after the town of Corato. It pours green-gold and tastes of it — fresh-cut grass and green tomato on the nose, full-bodied and bright on the palate, with notes of citrus and green apple and a clean peppery finish. An oil with an opinion.
An oil you reach for when you want to taste it.

Where our
olive oil grows.
Rammah Farms grows Coratina in the densest stretch of olive country in Egypt, 76km from Cairo, on the way to the ancient city of Alexandria. Here the Egyptian sun has made something with real character of its own. The land is dry, the sun long and strong, and the days run hot before the nights cool sharply.
A Puglian olive grown in a hotter, drier, brighter climate doesn't taste like a copy of its Italian cousin; it takes on the place it's grown. The fruit ripens slowly and unhurried, and the oil carries that intensity through. Rammah Farms sits at the front edge of Egypt's olive revival: a single grower, a single variety, making one thing and making it properly.
