Jerusalem Olive Oil: A Deep-Rooted Palestinian Legacy in Every Drop

Jerusalem Olive Oil: A Deep-Rooted Palestinian Legacy in Every Drop

In the hills of Jerusalem, where olive trees have grown for millennia, a powerful symbol of Palestinian culture, heritage, and resilience continues to thrive—Jerusalem Olive Oil. Produced by Watany Palestinian Products, this cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is more than a culinary staple—it’s a testament to history, land, and identity.


A History Steeped in Soil and Struggle

For over 3,000 years, olive oil has been at the heart of Palestinian agriculture, economy, and tradition. The ancient groves around Jerusalem have witnessed generations of farmers carefully cultivating trees, handpicking olives, and preserving age-old techniques passed down through families.

Despite occupation, displacement, and hardship, these traditions endure. Watany proudly continues this legacy, sourcing olives directly from the Jerusalem region. Each olive is hand-harvested and cold-pressed within hours, resulting in a rich, golden oil packed with antioxidants, polyphenols, and pure Palestinian flavor.
