In Lebanon, the tradition of mouneh, preserving seasonal ingredients to enjoy year round, has deep cultural roots and remains a cherished practice. Beyond providing sustenance, mouneh embodies resilience, resourcefulness and a deep connection to the land. From sun-dried tomatoes and homemade jams to aromatic zaatar and olive oil, these preserved goods tell stories of families and communities who’ve passed down recipes and techniques through generations.
