Harvest Journey

The Harvest: A Symphony of Nature and Tradition

As the calendar turns to October 15th, 2024, a buzz of excitement will sweep through the Palestinian countryside. In villages from Nablus to Nazareth, farmers will gather at dawn, their practiced hands ready to begin the careful dance of harvesting. Each olive is picked with reverence, a nod to the countless generations who have performed this ritual before.

But our commitment to excellence doesn't end with the picking. Within a mere 4-6 hours – while the olives are still singing with freshness – they'll be transformed into liquid gold. This swift journey from branch to bottle ensures that every ounce of flavor, every nuance of terroir, is captured in our extra virgin olive oil.

Yet, like all good things, patience plays its part. Our freshly pressed olive oil then rests for 2-3 weeks, allowing the flavors to mature and meld. It's during this time that the true character of each batch emerges – a unique fingerprint of taste that reflects the soil, the sun, and the loving care of our farmers.

The Olive Odyssey Difference: Uncompromising Quality

Our dedication to producing the finest olive oil goes beyond just picking the best olives. It's a holistic approach that respects the land, honors tradition, and embraces sustainable practices:

100% Natural Cultivation

Our olive trees are a testament to the power of nature. They thrive without artificial irrigation, pesticides, or chemicals. Instead, they're nourished by rainwater and the rich Palestinian soil, just as they have been for centuries. This natural approach not only produces healthier olives but also preserves the delicate ecosystem of our groves.

Traditional Cold-Pressing Methods

We believe that the best things in life take time and care. That's why we still use traditional cold-pressing methods, including the use of millstones in some of our groves. This gentle extraction process preserves the delicate flavors and beneficial compounds of the olives, resulting in olive oil of exceptional purity and quality.

Adapting to Nature's Rhythms

Our commitment to sustainability means we work in harmony with nature, not against it. During dry seasons, our production might dip, but we see this as a small price to pay for maintaining the long-term health of our groves and producing olive oil of uncompromising quality.
