Rumi Twice

Same cultivar. Different village. Different harvest. Different oil. The Burqa Rumi is structured and peppery, picked at peak ripeness from centuries-old trees in the hills northwest of Nablus. The Anza Rumi is an early harvest — bright, thick, and spicy, picked green from organic groves near Jenin. One is patient and balanced. The other is bold and immediate.

This bundle is the simplest proof that olive oil is never just olive oil. Even the same variety, grown in different soil by different hands, tells a completely different story.

Includes: 1 × Burqa Rumi Cold Pressed 750 ml 25.4 fl oz 1 × TRASHY CLOTHING x OLIVE ODYSSEY Anza Early Harvest Rumi Cold Pressed 500 ml 16.9 fl oz

Store in a cool, dry place, shielded from direct sunlight or heat.

Rumi is one of Palestine's oldest native cultivars. But Rumi from Burqa and Rumi from Anza are not the same oil. The village, the soil, the altitude, the harvest timing — all of it shapes what ends up in the bottle.

The Burqa Rumi comes from Sameer and his family, who farm mature trees rooted in highland limestone. Their oil is herbaceous, layered with green almond and wild herbs, finishing with a steady peppery warmth. The Anza Rumi is produced by the Anza Agricultural Cooperative: dozens of families farming together on organic, rain-fed land near Jenin. Their early harvest oil is thick, earthy, and spicy, built for cooking as much as finishing.

Two villages. Two families. One cultivar that shows you just how much place and timing matter.
