Jenin Duo
The two bottles represent two moments in Jenin’s harvest. One early, bold and green; the other later, smooth and balanced; each shaped by the same land, season, and care.
The two bottles designs were inspired by the city’s textured architecture. Through her design, the bottle becomes a small portrait of Jenin itself; grounded, layered, and beautiful, a reflection of its people and landscape.
The Land:
Al-Yamun, West of Jenin
Al-Yamun is a landscape shaped by elevation, fertility, and time; where cultivation is not an industry, but a way of life.
Al-Yamun sits high on fertile ground west of Jenin, where olives, grains, and wild herbs have grown for centuries. Archaeological traces; Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman; mark a long and continuous relationship between land and cultivation.Families here have always lived by the seasons, once pressing oil in stone mills and today using modern drums; carrying forward an art shaped by time, soil, and care.Olives from this region are known for their bold taste and green intensity, reflecting the valley’s mineral-rich terrain and generations of attentive farming.
Nourie's Work
Two Harvests from Jenin
Bold • Green • Peppery
A bold, early-harvest Rumi from the hills of Jenin. Crafted by Mohammad Zein Al-Dein, this oil captures the intensity of old groves—marked by a strong olive aroma, vibrant freshness, and a smooth, peppery finish that lingers beautifully on the palate.Best for finishing dishes, dipping fresh bread, grilled vegetables, and moments when you want the oil to speak first.
Smooth • Balanced • Everyday
A classic later-harvest Rumi olive oil from the fertile hills of Jenin, produced by Mohammad Zein Al-Dein. Smooth and well-balanced, it carries a strong olive aroma, fresh green notes, and a gentle bitterness.Crafted for everyday cooking—perfect for sautés, grains, stews, and dishes that call for true, authentic olive oil flavor.
The Special Label Series brought together 6 designers from across SWANA, each contributing a distinct artistic voice to our olive oil collection. The project celebrated our shared visual languages, regional interconnectedness, and the cultural echoes that move across borders and generations.
Each designer created a one-of-a-kind label, turning every bottle into a collectible piece of regional design. With every bottle sold from their edition, 10% will be donated to a community-based initiative or NGO chosen by the artist.
Every label carried a personal connection — a thread as meaningful as the artwork itself.
The series became a meeting point between art and agriculture, honoring the craft behind the oil and the creativity behind the design.
