2 Welcome Welcome to the world of LiveO, an experience of warm hospitality and a healthy lifestyle. We would like to introduce you to our world of flavors where the Mediterranean temperament meets the delicate French cuisine, where dreams of pioneering and entrepreneurism come true. The world of LiveO is born from the catharsis of the nutrients of the O-LIVE trees fruit. Live- to accentuate the values of well being O- the perfection of the letter represents the circle of actions and fulfillment. This circle began with the planting of thousands of olive trees in the barren land of Kibbutz Revivim, located in the Negev desert. Following was the olive harvest, then the preservation. Finally the pinnacle: the development of five different lines of gourmet products based on the purity of extra virgin olive oil. Our Philosophy At LiveO you are warmly invited to experience a lifestyle where attention is paid to every drop. A combination of advanced agronomic knowledge with a modern culinary scent. The culture of olive oil, according to LiveO, is based on the unique character of selected olive varieties, as a platform for a product line baring the same name. The natural aroma and flavours of each variety is a source of inspiration for the products derived from them: mixtures of fresh vegetables with a touch of herbs and spices which enhance the flavour and accentuate the special characteristics of each and every variety. From the planting to the picking, to the pickling and the packing, the entire process of production and manufacturing is done in accordance to the highest standards set by LiveO.

3 The Oils LiveOs oils are classified as extra virgin- the highest quality of olive oil- and have a level of acidity not exceeding 0.5%. Research results from Israel and around the world have come to show that LiveO oils have an above average amount of anti oxidants. They even achieved an outstanding score in tests of the highest standards from places renowned for their olive oil such as Tuscany, Italy and Seville, Spain.
