On February 15th 2016, executives, chefs and staff members from Sofil Catering joined Fair Trade Lebanon for a visit to Deir El Ahmar.
The first stop of the day was at a food processing and production cooperative. It specializes in mouneh products using local recipes and savoir-faire.
The visitors tasted one of their iconic specialties: green beans makdouss.
Our next stop was at the Heliopolis Cooperative specialized in wine making. The grapes produced by the cooperative are the only grapes in Lebanon certified Organic and Fairtrade. Our visit there ended with some exquisite wine tasting.
Our last stop was at a catering specialized cooperative; its members not only cater for nearby events but also offer cooking lessons.
The day ended with a traditional and delicious lunch highlighting the specialties of Deir El Ahmar!
