We proudly introduce you to the rich cultural heritage of Palestine through Shahed, the authentic taste of Palestinian olive oil. We are certain that Palestinian olive oil is the best in the world and invite you to try our very own cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil from farmers in the Jenin area and taste the difference.
The Story: Shahed means witness. We crafted this label to honor the art of Heba Zagout who was murdered in Gaza by Israeli forces. We sought to tell a story that her art bore witness to: Ages ago, Palestinian hands began the back breaking labor of cultivating the hills and building terracing walls. Palestinian ancestors have been stewards of this land for thousands of years and to testify to this sacred and historic relationship, our olive trees have stood and watched. They have borne witness to foreign occupation, one after another until the next, but through it all, they have watched as Palestinian ancestors care for the land and her trees.
About Our Oil: Our ancient trees are rain watered and all natural. This is extra virgin oil and cold pressed. It is fairly traded and honestly crafted. We bring you this liquid gold in a tin so that it ships best. Check out our blog for recipes!
