At Tamila Agrifood, we believe that food is more than nourishment — it’s a cultural experience, a story passed down through generations. One of the most iconic and flavorful expressions of Northern Iranian cuisine is Zeytoon Parvardeh – a traditional marinated olive dish that captures the essence of the Caspian region’s rich culinary heritage.

What is Zeytoon Parvardeh?

Zeytoon Parvardeh (زیتون پرورده) is not just any marinated olive. It’s a beautifully complex and aromatic blend of high-quality green olives, freshly ground walnuts, thick pomegranate molasses, crushed garlic, dried mint, and a very special herb known locally as Chochagh – found only in the green forests of Gilan province. Together, these ingredients create a harmony of flavors that is tangy, savory, slightly sweet, and irresistibly fragrant.

This delicacy is often served as an appetizer or side dish in Iranian meals, especially in the northern provinces such as Gilan and Mazandaran. It's enjoyed both at home and in fine Persian restaurants, and is a must-have on tables during special occasions, family gatherings, and festive celebrations.

Health Meets Heritage

Not only is Zeytoon Parvardeh delicious, it is also packed with health benefits. Olives are rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, while walnuts provide omega-3 fatty acids. Pomegranate paste adds a boost of vitamin C and antioxidants, and garlic supports immune function. This makes it a nutrient-rich choice for conscious food lovers who value both taste and wellness.
