New in the Store–Fair Trade Organic Olives

One of our best selling items in the store is our Fair Trade, Organic Olive Oil from Palestine. Foodies and Newbies alike fall in love with the rich depth in flavor. It can be used in cooking or just as a simple dressing or marinade. We’re careful to never let our stock run too low!

So we were very excited yesterday when our latest shipment of olive oil came in with a NEW product from the Canaan Fair Trade line: OLIVES!

Olive orchards, which make up 80% of the farmed lands in Palestine, are nurtured as a family legacy that is passed on through generations. Orchards are grown on hand-built terraces, inaccessible by modern machinery, that hug the hillsides and prevent erosion. Farmers work year round to build and maintain these ancient terraces that were crafted by their ancestors.

This attention to detail and respect for the trees definitely shows up in the jar!
