About this oil

This Suri was one of the first two oils we pressed this season, in the last week of September. Nassar Darawshi picks it while the olives are still green, and you can taste the timing: a fruity aroma, a rich, herbal palate and a peppery finish. Pour it raw over tomatoes, hummus or labneh, or start the morning with a small spoonful.

Nassar Darawshi

Left an office job in high-tech to farm a grove where many olive varieties grow side by side.

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

Nassar Darawshi used to work in high-tech. Now he farms in Iksal, a village near Nazareth, and runs the family press with his brother. "If I didn't love olives, the land, the oil and the press," he says, "I wouldn't have left my office job." His grove is unusual: Suri, Nabali, Picual, Manzanillo and more grow side by side in one plot, trees of every age and size. That is how he can press oils that each taste like their own variety. He reads a tree by its trunk and its leaves, and when we first asked him for an early harvest, he started pressing three weeks ahead of his season.

★★★★★Gives Sparkle to Veggie Salads

My 'cooking' has been limited to making vegetable/bean salads. This oil adds sparkle and zest to garbanzo bean salads and all green veggies. I enjoy the peppery taste it adds to cold foods. Very happy with this oil!

★★★★★Fresh and bright

All the OO oils are fabulous but this might be our favorite. Full of flavor but smooth and beautiful when used for dipping and very versatile. Ordered as gifts for ten friends and everyone has loved it as much as us.

★★★★★Good for everything - and lovely label

This is my second olive oil from Olive Odyssey - and I love the label. I have used this for roasting vegetables like courgettes and cauliflower and it really works - the flavour is great. Also of course I use it for salads and dunking bread - it is really versatile.
