A short story about us

My name is Valbona, an Albanian woman living in Oslo with a deep love for my roots and the rich traditions of my homeland. Growing up surrounded by the tastes, stories, and warmth of Albania, I’ve always believed that our land holds something truly special from the sun-soaked hills to the centuries-old olive trees. Now, living in Norway, I’ve made it my mission to bring the very best of Albania to this beautiful corner of the world. Through Alba Olea and other carefully selected products, I want to share the soul of our culture pure, natural, crafted with care, and deeply connected to our land.

Albania is a hidden gem in the Balkans, with traditions that go back thousands of years. Our products aren’t just goods they are history in a bottle, flavor with a story, and a bridge between generations. Whether it’s cold-pressed olive oil, wild herbal teas, or handmade delicacies, I personally choose products that reflect the highest quality and the deepest respect for our environment and heritage.

This is more than a business to me, it’s a way to stay connected to home, to honour the hardworking hands behind each product, and to invite people in Norway to discover the beauty of Albania.

Welcome to my journey. Welcome to Alba Olea!
