Product Description
You can find the non-certified, fairly traded alternative here.
Zaytoun Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a rich and peppery cold pressed Palestinian oil, fairly traded. Delicious for dressings and all kinds of cooking, Zaytoun’s Olive Oil made from hand-picked olives and prepared with care, for your table.
750ml.
Olive oil is an integral part of the Palestinian economy and culture, with olive trees being passed through generations of the same family.
Zaytoun Olive Oil is described by wine and food writer Malcolm Gluck as: “One of the least aggressive yet pungently attractive olive oils I have tasted. It is in the rich nourishing class of the best of the fruity Sicilian, Cretan, and northern Spanish oils and its beautiful green cloudiness bespeaks of care and judicious handling.”
The olive trees in Palestine, from which Zaytoun’s oil is produced, are never harvested either by night or by machine.
Please note, due to a bad olive harvest this year in Palestine, and a surge in demand in the UK, Zaytoun are facing stock shortages of Certified Fairtrade and Organic olive oil. In the meantime, the producer members of the Palestine Fair Trade Association supply chain who are not certified, are keen to maintain the export market for Palestinian olive oil and the crucial link established for more than 15 years with UK customers.

i use Zaytoun olive oil every day in cooking. Its quality is excellent and I know it is unadulterated oil and supports the Palestinian farmers whose livelihood often depends on it. I sometimes give a bottle as a gift to family members.

One of the best Olive oils on the market and a great way to support the people of Palestine.
Excellent olive oil but simply unaffordable at the price these days!
