Jenin's Cold Pressed Olive Oil

We have searched all over for an olive oil to pair with our Oil Cruets and we are so excited to share these selections with you from Olive Odyssey. They work with farmers in Palestine to bring in distinctive olive oils and spices that speak to the unique terroir of the region and support local economies. You can’t really go wrong, and Aya and the Olive Odyssey team have done an incredible job on describing the flavor profiles and what to expect. Enjoy! From the northern hills of Jenin comes a bold, grounded expression of Rumi olives, cultivated by a family that has farmed this land for over 150 years. Passed down through generations, the work is now led by a farmer who inherited the craft from his father and now tends the groves alongside his brothers — the family’s sole livelihood for generations. This oil is pressed from trees personally planted and cared for by the farmer on his private land, where he uses companion planting — growing other plants among the olive trees — to encourage natural growth and health. The olives are handpicked and cold-pressed using a centrifugal method within 8 hours of harvest, ensuring a clean, vibrant oil true to its origin. The 2024 harvest presents a green, slightly bitter profile with an earthy aroma and broad culinary range — ideal for roasting, frying, and hearty cooking that brings out the full character of this deeply rooted oil.
