Rooted in Lebanon: The Story of Rose Bechara & the Groves That Made Her
About this episode
Rose Bechara shares her family's legacy of olive oil production and the significance of preserving their Lebanese groves.
Some people make olive oil — Rose Bechara was raised by it. In this intimate conversation, Rose invites Claudia into the world of her family’s Lebanese groves, where every tree carries a memory and every harvest is an act of devotion. She shares how preserving her family’s land became her purpose, how tradition shapes her craft, and why olive oil is more than a product — it’s a legacy you taste.
