Abed Elghani Asaaf comes from a long line of olive growers in Arraba. His family has cared for these groves for generations, tending trees that have stood on this land for centuries.

Like many farmers in the region, Abed works the land with patience and dedication. 

For him, olive farming is more than agriculture. It is heritage, responsibility, and a connection to the land that continues to shape daily life in the village.

Arraba is a historic Palestinian village located in the northern West Bank, surrounded by rolling hills and fertile agricultural land.

For centuries, olive cultivation has been central to life here. The region’s climate — warm days, cool nights, and mineral-rich soil — creates ideal conditions for producing expressive olive oils.

Ancient Rumi trees dominate many of the groves around the village. These trees are known for their deep roots and resilience, producing oils with complexity, fruitiness, and a characteristic peppery finish.

Olive harvest season transforms Arraba each year, bringing families and neighbors together to gather the fruit that has sustained the village for generations.
