Jenin Olive Oil
Farmers across Palestine harvest their olives in small batches and bring them to press from the beginning of the olive harvest in October through the end in December. Each batch carries its own distinctive flavor and when combined creates a special blend for the season that becomes their family’s signature olive oil. Canaan honors this age-old tradition by collecting olive oil from the spicy bite of the early harvest to the mild finish toward the end of the harvest. Jenin is our signature cold pressed olive oil collected from small-scale farmers who live in villages surrounding the Palestinian city of Jenin. Jenin Olive Oil hosts a diverse range of flavors that will add distinction to any salad, spread or special meal. Ingredients: organic extra virgin olive oil
THE ETHOS
Sovereignty begins with the soil. In the face of systemic dispossession, the act of planting and harvesting is a final claim to existence. Our Agricultural track is not merely trade—it is the restoration of the primary relationship between the people and the land. By communicating the "Truth" of the Palestinian earth through its ancient cultivars, we ensure that the source remains unshakeable.
THE PILLARS
1. **The 2,000-Year-Old Witness**: Featuring the ancient Rumi olive groves, trees that have stood as living witnesses to centuries of survival. Their resilience is our resilience; their cold-pressed oil is the literal transformation of the Palestinian terrain.
2. **Regenerative Organic (Canaan)**: Moving beyond the limits of fair trade into total ecosystem restoration. Our process heals the soil of Jenin and Nablus, ensuring that the land remains fertile and sovereign for the generations to come.
3. **Handcrafted Heirlooms**: Hand-rolled Maftoul and flame-roasted Freekeh produced by women's cooperatives using heirloom landrace wheat. This is the preservation of our ancestral flavors against the threat of erasure.
THE COMMITMENT
"They planted so we ate; we plant so they will eat." Every purchase is a direct-from-source empowerment. We designate profits to the 'Trees for Life' program to replant our hills with olive and almond trees, securing the rooted future of our farmers.
