Description Palestinian olive oil is an authentic and truly artisanal product. Sourced on fair trade terms from small-scale farmers in the West Bank. This premium extra virgin olive oil is imported by Zaytoun, a pioneering fair trade organisation dedicated to supporting Palestinian farming communities. Founded in the UK, Zaytoun works directly with small-scale Palestinian farmers, ensuring they receive fair compensation for their harvest while preserving traditional olive farming methods that have been passed down through generations. The olive trees in Palestine are some of the oldest in the world, with many orchards dating back thousands of years. The unique Mediterranean climate, terraced hillsides, and ancestral cultivation techniques combine to produce an olive oil with distinctive flavor characteristics – fruity, peppery, and beautifully aromatic. Why Choose Zaytoun Olive Oil? For thousands of farming families in Palestine, fair trade has given them the security of knowing they can sell their crops for a price guaranteed to be above the cost of production. In addition, farmer co-ops receive a premium that funds community projects, and increased demand for this first class product has afforded them the scope to develop business skills and work strategically. By purchasing this oil, you are not just buying a quality product – you are supporting sustainable livelihoods for Palestinian farming families and helping to maintain a precious agricultural heritage.
