Makdous (Stuffed Eggplants)
Stuffed Eggplants | Makdous | 270g
Makdous is a traditional Levantine delicacy made just as it’s always been—by hand, in small batches, with love (and a lot of garlic). Our eggplants are grown in the sun-drenched soil of Qaa, a rural village nestled at the foot of the Anti-Lebanon mountains. Handpicked and sun-dried, each eggplant is carefully stuffed with a flavorful mix of walnuts, garlic, and sweet pepper before being preserved in sunflower oil.
Made by a family-run cooperative led by the Wehbé family, this is the real deal—just like you’d find in a teta’s kitchen.

Baby eggplants, sunflower oil, sweet pepper, walnuts, garlic and salt.

Qaa, Lebanon

How to Use
Let customers speak for us
Toon is for sure one of the best oil I have tested. The soap make my skin soft and not dry at all perfect for my skin.
I didn’t try other products but will definitely try the eggplants. On of the olive oil broke down during the shipping, the company sent me an email to let me know about the shipping incident and apologize for the delayed and send me another
Bottle.
Thank you

Everything in my bundle arrived in perfect condition. It’s all delicious! The quality of the oil is unparalleled. Knowing it comes from an ethical source is also priceless. Will order again as soon as I run out!
I was on the hunt for a high-quality olive oil, since so many store-bought options just don’t cut it. I stumbled upon Toon and decided to take a leap of faith despite the higher price tag—and I’m glad I did. From the premium packaging to the incredible taste and thoughtful thank-you card, everything about the experience felt top-tier. I’ll definitely be repurchasing!
I recently placed an order for many of TOON's products. My package came quickly and was beautifully packaged and assembled - you can tell a lot of care and thought went into the presentation. I purchased two olive oils among other products and gave a bottle of olive oil to my mom - she was dying to try it after seeing the videos and its vibrant colour. The olive oil is amazing and so fresh - unlike many olive oils I've purchased before. The quality in addition to the thoughtful branding and packaging made for a very unique and exciting experience. I look forward to making many delicious dressings and dishes with this oil and would recommend purchasing to anyone considering. The additional bonus to all the 'pros' listed above is that you are not only supporting the 'farm to table' philosophy but supporting family farmers abroad in Lebanon and supporting a Canadian small business! Truly the best and already excited for my next order!
We saw an ad for TOON products on Instagram after a friend of ours shared the link. Our first order included the Olive Oil, Makdous Eggplant, Pomegranate Sauce and Soap - and WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!
Our order came within a couple of days and the quality of the products exceeded all expectations. The olive oil was rich with flavor and like silk. While I put in on my salads, labneh, and everything else mezza - it's amazing on its own just with some bread and olives.
The Makdous was also a hit - reminding me of my many visits to Lebanon, as was the Pomegranate sauce that took my BBQ chicken to a whole new level.
All of the products made me feel like I was back in my grandmother's kitchen. What a find this place was and we are so grateful to have come across it. Can't wait for my next order!!!!!!
Thank you for bringing an authentic taste of home here to us in Canada!
Wowwww it's truly the best molasses I ever tasted.....love it
Delicious eggplants. So fresh and flavourful! The best ones I’ve tried out of a few brands. Would definitely recommend and will be ordering them again. Also purchased the pomegranate molasses and olive oil soap, both great items!
I recently made my first order of toon olive oil and soap - and I am blown away. The olive oil is rich and smooth and adds the perfect oomph to any meal. The soap smells amazing, is soft as butter, and leaves my skin feeling amazing. I am so happy with my purchase, and what an added bonus that it’s a Canadian, women-led business. Overall 11/10!
Exceeded all expectations! Hadn’t even heard of this when I ordered, but looked too good to pass on; and I’m so glad I tried it!
The olive oil soap smells soooooo good, multi functional and is simply just amazing. I usually buy my soap bars for showers from whole foods or something and I am always drawn to olive oil ones. Now I know where I’ll be getting all of my soap products :) you ca use it for anything!
