Local women prepare the food in a central kitchen first set up at the Immaculate Conception school in Ghbaleh, with help from the school&#x27;s sisters. Sales began in 2012, the first batches sold out and were reordered three times within a year, and by 2016 a larger kitchen and new product lines were added. The range includes crystallized thistle honey from flowers at the reserve&#x27;s highest altitudes, zaatar, zaatar water and zaatar essential oil, plus handicrafts like the Tabsoun hyrax doll. Products are sold online through the Eco-Shop and at about two dozen points of sale.
