Early Harvest Abu Snan - Round, Smooth, With Hint of Bitterness [2024 Harvest]

In the heart of the Galilee region, where the ancient whispers of Abu Snan echo through time, a tale of heritage unfolds. This local council, with its roots reaching back to 1964, stands as a testament to the rich history woven into its 4,750 dunams of land. As the sun-kissed hills cradle this sacred ground, Abu Snan emerges as a mosaic of religious diversity, embracing a Muslim majority, alongside vibrant Druze and Christian communities.

In the tapestry of Abu Snan's past, ancient stones find new purpose in modern homes, a symbolic bridge between eras. Graves, presses for oil and vine, and rock-hewn cisterns tell stories etched in the very fabric of the land.

Journeying back to the Crusader era, the Teutonic Knights left their mark on Abu Snan, known then as Busnen. Yet, no Crusader remnants linger within the village, leaving behind a legacy intertwined with the sands of time.

With the advent of the Ottoman Empire in 1517, Abu Snan joined the intricate mosaic of Palestine. Ottoman tax registers of 1596 unveil a vibrant community, paying homage to the land with wheat, barley, olive trees, and the hum of daily life.

Through the eyes of explorers like Victor Guérin in 1875, Abu Snan's essence unfolds—a tapestry of 400 souls, a blend of Druzes and Greek Orthodox Christians. The village, a living relic, embraced fragments from an ancient past, crafting a chapel for St. George.

The British Mandate brought census numbers and revealed the coexistence of Muslims, Druzes, and Christians. Fast forward to today, where Abu Snan, with its 2021 population of 14,455, stands as a harmonious blend of faiths, a beacon of unity.

In this hallowed ground, the importance of olive oil, a cultural cornerstone, resonates through generations. As Abu Snan's olives flourish in the sun-drenched hills, the millstones bear witness to a timeless tradition, crafting an oil that mirrors the spirit of this sacred land—a land where history and harmony converge.
