Sheikh Press - Our Story

The Journey

Our journey began in 1967 with my great-grandfather—a man intrinsically connected to the land. He established a modest olive press, known as معصرة الشيخ الحديثة, driven by tireless effort, wisdom, and an unwavering respect for nature. Since that time, each generation—my grandfather, my father, and now myself—has carried forward this legacy with dedication and pride.

What began as a humble family endeavor has blossomed into a symbol of heritage and excellence. My grandfather instilled strength and resilience, while my father refined and modernized our techniques. Today, Al Sheikha stands as a testament to their vision—not only in producing olive oil but in sharing the rich history and spirit of our family with the world.

Then came my turn. As my father’s daughter, I saw an opportunity to take our family’s rich history to a new horizon. With a desire to share the beauty of our extra virgin olive oil with the world, I turned to social media to bring our products to a global audience, all while keeping our family’s story and passion alive in every drop. Each time I step into the press, the familiar fragrance of olives fills the air, and I am reminded of my grandfather’s enduring presence. It’s as though he continues to guide us, offering silent counsel and reminding us of the core values he instilled in us: integrity, passion, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence.

At Al Sheikha, we are committed to producing only the highest premium quality oil—each batch is carefully cold-pressed and rigorously tested to meet the strictest standards. This ensures that what you taste is not only pure, but truly exceptional. It holds the essence of who we are: generations of dedication, authenticity, and love. This is more than just olive oil—it’s a taste of our roots, our tradition, and our soul.
