The Gift Of Olive Oil: Certified Organic, Palestinian, Fair Trade, Delicious, AND on Sale!

Just in time forthe Thanksgiving holiday, here is your chance to buy olive oil straight from Palestine while giving to a great cause!

This fair trade Palestinian olive oil is from Jerusalem and the West Bank. All proceeds from our olive oil sales go toward building more playgrounds and upholding The Right to Play for children in Palestine.

Both types of Olive Oil come either in an elegant 500 mL bottle or a 1 L tin:

RUMI: Rumi olive oil has a robust, peppery and slightly bitter flavor. The word “Rumi” in Arabic means “Roman,” indicating that these trees have been around in Palestine since the Roman Empire.

NABALI: Nabali olive oil has a mild, fruity flavor compared to the Rumi Tree Olive Oil.
