The Counterpoint
2 x 500 ml (16.9 fl oz) Extra Virgin Olive Oils | Cold-pressed in steel drums
Two oils with nothing in common except the land they come from.
The Jerusalem Nabali is soft, fruity, and delicate. Notes of green almond, herbal undertones, and a finish that fades gently. The Jenin Early Harvest Rumi is bold, vibrant, and peppery. Pressed weeks earlier from the same ancient variety of groves in the northern hills, it arrives with intensity and stays.
One is the oil you pour after. The other is the oil you pour first. Together they are the full range of what Palestinian olive oil can be.
Includes:
1 x Jerusalem Nabali Cold Pressed Delicate 500 ml 16.9 fl oz
1 x Jenin Early Harvest Rumi Cold Pressed Bold 500 ml 16.9 fl oz
Store in a cool, dry place, shielded from direct sunlight or heat.
Ayda Saadah farms Nabali trees in the hills outside Jerusalem. Mohammad Zein Al-Dein farms Rumi trees in the valleys of Jenin. Both pressed within hours of picking. Both from the 2025 harvest. Everything after that diverges.
The Jerusalem is quiet. It lets food speak first and arrives at the end, rounding everything out. The Jenin Early Harvest is the opposite. It announces itself. Peppery, green, full of the energy that comes from picking fruit before it fully ripens. Put them side by side and you understand what olive oil range actually means.
Neither is better. They are counterpoints. One needs the other to make sense of itself.
