Canaan Palestine partners with over 2,400 traditional family farms across 52 villages in the West Bank, headquartered in Burqin, Jenin. They are committed to year-round engagement and long-term relationships, ensuring transparency, direct payments, and fair prices. Many of their trees date to 1,000-2,000 years old, preserving deep culture and tradition for Palestinian farmers. Their products are Regenerative Organic, Fair Trade, and USDA Organic certified.
Canaan Palestine's Lemon Olive Oil is made with ancient landrace Souri olives and fresh whole lemons that are crushed together at the olive press. This production method, agrumato, is unlike commercial lemon infused olive oil. It requires precise agricultural artistry in coordinating harvests for lemons to be at their peak of flavor in time for the olive season. The result is a top quality olive oil laced with a vibrant flavor. This extremely special olive oil is only prepared once a year during the harvest. This is our favorite oil for instant salad dressing, finishing our salmon, or topping homemade hummus with a sprinkle of za'atar.
