Olives

The olive tree, a universal symbol of peace has been the object of conflict in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Israel's practise of uprooting the ancient olive trees has had tremendous effects on Palestinian agriculture, economy, and identity. To Palestinians, the olive tree is prized for its historical presence, its beauty, its symbolic significance, and its economic significance. Olive trees are a major commercial crop for Palestine, and many families depend on it for their livelihood.

Fair Trade Olive Oil from Palestine
Cold Pressed Extra Virgin

"The land and sky of Palestine bring you this gift of peace"

Palestinian olive oil is the product of millennia of cultivation by Palestinian farmers in arid valleys and on mountainside terraces. Its distinct flavor and excellent quality is highly prized and well-known to lovers of fine olive oil.  North Americans can now discover this excellent oil for themselves.

In the face of great dispossession over the last 60 years, Palestinians have clung more desperately to their land and the olive tree is a symbol of their ties to the land. The humble olive tree also has real practical worth as the tree of wealth, protection and security, of shelter and sustenance.  In total, the olive tree and its products represent a major source of income for over 100,000 Palestinian families.

Zatoun olive oil comes from farm co-operatives in the central corridor running from Jenin in north to Ramallah in south.  They operate through the Palestine Fair Trade Association. One dollar from each bottle is given to "Project Hope," an arts and education program for young people in Palestine. Another dollar from each bottle is donated to " Trees for Life," a world-wide project to 35,000 plant olive tree saplings in Palestine to replace destroyed trees.

 ZA'TAR

Prepared by Kufr Jamaal Women's Cooperative, in Palestine
1 ounce (28 grams) in a reusable plastic container
A traditional staple in the Palestinian kitchen, za'tar is made from powdered thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac (a spice made from ground sour berries). Thyme is believed --by Palestinians, at least-- to improve the memory. It is eaten with
Arabic (a.k.a. pita) bread and olive oil; you dip the bread in the oil, and then in the za'tar.
