Our story is a story rooted in the nostalgic taste of home and the flavors of the Lebanese soul. The great Cortas venture blossomed from the pine-forested hills of Brummana, in 1925. From the delightful apricot jam that started as a local sensation, to apprenticeship in Ireland that paved the way for a flourishing company offering a variety of products. The journey wasn’t without its challenges. We have prospered, expanded and flourished despite difficult events such as World War 2 and the Lebanese civil war. True to its Lebanese identity, Cortas rose like the Phoenix from the ashes, and continued to shine.
An almost century-long tale of heritage and perseverance, Cortas is now a vital necessity for the Lebanese diaspora and other diverse communities. With reimagined and reintroduced recipes, Cortas is the crown jewel of any meal of the day.
With the entire world going through a host of problems, conflicts, and negativity, one thing remains true: A good meal and good food help bring people together for joy and love, and that’s the core purpose of Cortas: We exist to help you find goodness through food.
Cortas believes that food has the power to bring people closer and connect with one another. That’s the true Lebanese way, and the Lebanese way is at the very core of us! After all, the goodness of mankind and their collective efforts make everything better and more positive: from the tiniest peach, to the biggest cedar!
