Muscat · Sultanate of Oman
The pantry of an Aramean kitchen
A trading house in Muscat for the staples of the Levantine table. We buy at origin, hold stock in the condition it actually needs, and supply the businesses that sell it on — coffee, nuts, spices, sweets, dairy and dry goods.

One roastery, one shopBoth our own
The house
Named for the land the recipes came from
Aram was the old name for Syria, and Aramaic the language the region traded in long before anyone drew the borders it trades across today.
The recipes are Levantine — coffee ground with cardamom, spice blends measured by hand long before anyone wrote them down, halva made the way it is made in Aleppo. The goods themselves we buy wherever the quality is right, from the Levant, Turkey and further afield, and we say so on the label.
Trade is the business. A small roastery of our own lets us roast and season nuts in short batches rather than buy finished goods, and a single shop in Muscat tells us what actually sells before we commit to the next container. Both exist to sharpen the trade, not to replace it.
The shelf
Open a drawer
Each family carries its own colour through the packaging, the shelf edge and the signage — and its own storage requirement in our warehouse.
مكسّرات
Nuts & seeds
Pistachios, walnuts, cashews and almonds. Raw, or roasted and seasoned in our own plant, in short batches.
بهارات
Spices & blends
Single-origin spices alongside baharat, za'atar and sumac, ground in small runs to keep the oils.
حلويات
Sweets & halva
Halva, malban and nougat, made to Levantine recipes rather than adapted ones. Held chilled.
تمور
Dates & dried fruit
Graded and packed for retail, bulk and gifting, including filled and coated lines for the season.
أجبان ومؤن
Dairy & pantry
Akkawi, nabulsi, halloumi, kashkaval and sheep's cheese, held chilled — alongside pulses, grains, oils and preserves.
What we do
One core business, three capabilities around it
Four parts, one of them the actual business.
The core
I
Trading & distribution
Buying at origin, importing, and delivering to wholesalers, retailers, hotels, cafés and caterers with our own fleet.
II
Warehousing
A large facility with separate temperature zones, so every category is held in the condition it needs.
III
Nut roastery
A small plant of our own. Short runs, our own recipes, and the basis for private-label work.
IV
Retail, Muscat
One shop, serving households and bulk buyers, and giving us a direct read on what moves.
The warehouse
In this climate, storage is the product
Halva softens. Nuts turn. Dates dry out. Coffee goes flat. Cheese has no patience at all. Most losses in this trade happen between the container and the shelf — our facility is built so they don't, and our own vehicles carry the goods the last stretch.

For buyers
Request a sample set
Private label across every family
We source, roast where relevant, and pack under your brand — from first sample to repeat order. Mixed orders are held in the right zone until dispatch, so a pallet of cheese and a pallet of coffee leave in the same condition they arrived.

One floor in Muscat, for households and bulk alike
The shop is a business in its own right and a working instrument. It is where we see which blends move and which pack sizes sell — before we commit to the next container.
