About Chtoura Garden<\/h2>\n

Chtoura Garden, produced by Alfa Interfood S.A.L., is a mooneh brand rooted in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, the country’s agricultural heartland. Mooneh is the Lebanese tradition of preserving the harvest: pickling, drying, stuffing and storing seasonal produce so that a summer garden feeds a family through the winter. Chtoura Garden takes that home tradition and produces it at scale, so those pantry staples reach kitchens well beyond the Bekaa.<\/p>\n

The range covers the pillars of the Lebanese pantry: makdous (baby eggplants stuffed with walnuts, garlic and pepper and preserved in oil), other stuffed vegetables in oil, grains such as burghul and freekeh, chickpeas, grape and date molasses, olive oil, and pickles. Together these are the building blocks of everyday Lebanese cooking, from breakfast spreads to mezze tables.<\/p>\n

Why Chtoura Garden Matters<\/h2>\n

The Bekaa Valley is the agricultural engine of Lebanon, and mooneh producers like Chtoura Garden turn its harvests into shelf-stable products that support local farming and preserve culinary tradition. By industrializing time-honored recipes like makdous without abandoning them, the brand keeps Lebanese food heritage on supermarket shelves at home and available to the diaspora abroad. Every jar of preserved eggplant or grain represents a link between Lebanese farms, food culture, and the tables that depend on them.<\/p>\n
