| Holy Creations Fair Trade Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil | |||
 |
Holy Creations fair trade certified organic extra virgin olive oil from Palestine is made from hand picked, unsprayed tree ripened olives that are stone crushed and cool pressed to produce some of the most flavorful olive oil on the planet. After longs hours of painstaking effort to hand pick the olives from the trees, the olives are sorted and those selected are transported by mule to an olive mill where the olives are crushed, utilizing a centuries old process. Palestinian orchards contain some of the oldest olive trees in the world and simple artisan processing creates one of the purest olive oils available. Minimal filtering preserves phytonutrients and the oil retains a robust rustic flavor with a peppery bite. The perfect companion to bread, for finishing vegetables or any use where it’s uniquely delicious flavor can be appreciated. Olive groves are the mainstay of the agricultural economy in Palestine, providing up to half of the annual income for farmers. Supporting this family owned fair trade business ensures Palestinian farmers receive full market value for their products and helps to promote much needed stability in the Palestinian economy and build peace. | ||

| Organic Olive Oil from Palestine | |||
 |
Organically grown extra virgin olive oil with delicate flavor from Arab farmers and a nonprofit organization run by Jewish and Arab women working together. Sindyanna is a non-profit organization administered by Arab and Jewish women which was established in 1996 to help restore and develop the Arab olive industry in the western Galilee. Although the cultivation of olives has been a mainstay in western Galilee for centuries, since 1967 Palestinian farmers have had to deal with a variety of obstacles due to the Israeli occupation. Olive cultivation provides crucial supplemental income for these farmers, but without equal access to modern irrigation equipment and international markets, profits are low. Droughts in 1998 and 1999 have taken their toll. Recently, olive trees have been uprooted to make way for the new Israeli security fence. Olive oil is made using Surri olives which are cold-pressed and certified organic by the Israel Bio-Organic Ag. Assn. | ||
