Jenin Olive Oil by Canaan Palestine (500 ml)

Jenin Olive Oil from Canaan Palestine

500 ml

Blend of Distinction

"Jenin is our signature olive oil collected from small-scale farmers who live in villages surrounding the Palestinian city of Jenin. Farmers across Palestine harvest their olives in small batches and bring them to press from the beginning of the olive harvest in October through the end in December. Each batch carries its own distinctive flavor and when combined creates a special blend for the season that becomes their family's signature olive oil. Canaan Palestine honors this age-old tradition by collecting olive oil from the spicy bite of the early harvest to the mild finish toward the end of the harvest."
