Palestinian Olive Oil (60 ml) - The oil comes from family olive groves in Huwara, Palestine. The olives are "Nabali Baladi," one of the oldest varieties in the Middle East, originating from the banks of the Jordan River. The trees are approximately 80-100 years old and are offspring of trees dating back to Roman times.

Palestinian olive oil is renowned for its extra virgin quality due to the topography of its unique, fertile land. The olive season is short, so olives are picked at their prime. The olive season culminates annually after the first substantial autumn rains (usually October/November) when families work from morning to night picking olives. Once collected, the olives are taken to a community press, where the oil is extracted and tested for its quality.

Palestinian Zaatar - authentic Palestinian zaatar great for dunking fresh bread with olive oil. It's also great for eggs, chicken, potatoes, fish, and even the traditional manakeesh, the Arabic version of pizza. Students eat it all the time because it was said to stimulate the brain especially when studying right before exams. Contains sesame seeds.

Palestinian Dukkha - authentic West Bank dukkha, great for dipping or cooking with. This does contain nuts and sesame seeds.
