Hanan Wehbi keeps Maknoon human first

Maknoon is not just premium olive oil on a shelf in the UAE. It is Hanan Wehbi turning Levantine pride into something you can pour, share, and remember. Her brand feels like a quiet flag for Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria, saying resilience can taste elegant. In a market full of loud promises, Maknoon wins with calm certainty. Every bottle carries her belief that the story matters as much as the flavor, and both deserve respect. It shows up in kitchens.

Hanan was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and she grew up learning food is a family language. Raised by her grandmother while her parents worked abroad, she watched care show up in rituals. Herbs were picked, soap was made, and nothing was wasted. Those habits shaped her taste and her standards. Years later, living in the UAE, she built Maknoon from that grounded clarity with zero shortcuts.

Maknoon moves through Dubai and Abu Dhabi like a cultural courier with excellent manners. Hanan sources from family groves across Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria, and she insists the producers are paid fairly and upfront so tradition can keep breathing. As a certified olive oil sommelier, she teaches people to notice fruit, bitterness, and freshness without making it a show. Each shipment feels like a promise she must keep. Even packaging feels purposeful, like a gift that says home can travel.

People recognize Maknoon before tasting it because it feels personal. It is the bottle you bring to dinner when you want to say, I see your roots and respect them. Customers notice how Hanan speaks about farmers, not suppliers, and how she listens like a host, not a seller. Her rule is simple: “First humans, then business.” That is why the brand feels so steady.

Thank you, Hanan Wehbi, for making Maknoon a bridge from the Levant to the UAE. You honor people first, and the product follows with grace, pride, and consistency every day.
