Where once ran the ancient spice routes and the tracks of Nabataean camel caravans, life is returning as in the past.

Once again, olive groves and vineyards bloom in the midst of the desert. From here we proudly produce this select olive oil, with its natural aroma and rich but delicate, fruity taste. These olives, which grow in the groves of Kibbutz Revivim, are planted in virgin, clay-chalk soil and nourished with brackish water. This unique method of cultivation, which increases the sweetness and quality of the olives and their oil, is the result of 20 years of research. Our oil press sits by the olive groves, ensuring that the oil is produced from freshly picked olives.

Our method of oil production is traditional, based on ancient Roman-Byzantine knowledge but enhanced by the use of modern Italian equipment. The processes of sorting and cleaning the olives, as well as grinding, pressing, and separations, are all done by hand under professional supervision. Maintenance of production temperatures below 22 degrees C is strictly adhered to, in order to achieve the highest quality results. Abiding by the "cold process" method limits the amount of oil that can be produced, but ensures its exceptional quality. This process maintains the integrity of the unsaturated fatty-acid chains, and preserves the medicinal values of the olive oil, whose benefits have been appreciated by humankind for over 3000 years.
