This special bundle features the exact olive oils used in Mai's recipes for "Wherever We Gather: A Palestinian Recipe Collection," our exclusive digital cookbook launching February 20th.

Born in Jerusalem and now cooking in Chicago, Mai brings her unique Palestinian-Armenian heritage to our collection. Through her platform Almond and Fig, she shares recipes that bridge cultures while staying true to Palestinian traditions.

This bundle pairs two complementary oils:

  • Bazariya: A stone-milled oil delivering zesty, aromatic flavors with distinctive fruitiness
  • Nabali: A traditional variety offering peppery notes, full body, and a surprisingly light finish

Mai chose these oils to enhance her recipes' fresh character: Bazariya's zesty profile brightens her Swiss chard salad while balancing the lemon dressing, while Nabali's peppery notes perfectly complement her makdous fasoulia, adding depth without overpowering the delicate beans.

Bundle Includes:

  • Bazariya Premium Olive Oil (750ML/25.36 FL OZ)
  • Nabali Premium Olive Oil (500ML/16.9 FL OZ)
