About this oil

Same farmer and same village as our Jenin, picked a week sooner. Mohammad Zein Al-Dein pressed this lot on September 29, while the olives were still green, and early picking locks in brightness and spice. The result is bold: a strong olive aroma, vibrant freshness and a peppery finish that stays with you. Use it raw, where you can taste all of it.

Mohammad Zein Al-Dein

Fourth-generation grower and press owner in Al-Yamun, west of Jenin.

We pay every farmer 25 to 30% above the market price.

Mohammad Zein Al-Dein has farmed since he was a small child, on land in Al-Yamun, west of Jenin, that has passed through four generations of his family along with its press. He works it with his brothers and cousins. The ground is mountainous, so machines are no use there: every tree is tended and picked by hand. Walk his land and you'll find olives growing beside carob, fig and jujube. "The olive is life for us," he says. "A man looks after his olive tree more than he looks after his own son." He makes two of our oils: one picked early, one at full harvest.

★★★★★Excellent olive oil

Very fine and smooth flavour, with a peppery finish as described. Very fresh - probably the best olive oil I have ever tasted!

★★★★★amazing olive oil

We were waiting for the Jenin early harvest olive oil to come to our home and it did not disappoint. So amazingly delicious after we dipped bread into it.... we could taste the difference and will only purchase Olive Odyssey oil in the future. We also love supporting our Palestinian brothers and sisters!
