About Conserves Modernes Chtaura
Founded in 1936, Conserves Modernes Chtaura is one of Lebanon’s most established mooneh producers. Based in the Bekaa Valley, with operations around Kab Elias and Chtaura and a Beirut office, the company has spent well over eight decades turning the region’s agricultural bounty into preserved pantry goods. Its longevity makes it one of the anchor names in Lebanese food manufacturing.
The company produces more than 100 mooneh products across several brands, Conserves Chtaura, Mezze and Oriental Diwan, spanning jams, molasses and syrups, tahini, hummus, pickles and olives. That breadth reflects the full sweep of the Lebanese pantry, and it travels: Conserves Modernes Chtaura exports to 33 countries, bringing Lebanese flavors to communities and shoppers far beyond the Bekaa.
