About the olive oil (60 ml) - The oil comes from family olive groves in Huwara, Palestine. Our uncle actually took a bus from Jordan into Palestine to get this oil for us. From Jordan, it came to the US via air. This is truly a limited edition extra virgin olive oil. 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 & 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 & tested for its quality. Palestinian Zaatar - (0.5 ounces) authentic Palestinian zaatar great for dunking fresh bread with olive oil. It's also great for eggs, chicken, potatoes, fish, & 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. Palestinian Dukkah - (0.5 ounces) authentic West Bank dukkha, great for dipping or cooking with. The Bedouin Company follows in the footsteps of a past generation. Our maternal grandfather was a spice trader in Palestine. in the late 1940s, he was displaced from his home & joined the Bedouins in neighboring Jordan. Back then, most of Jordan was still a desert community - even Amman - so spice trading was conducted from the back of a camel. Our grandfather would go on to establish the first spice shop in downtown Amman. He also managed to fund a very new small producer which would go on to be the best spice producer in Jordan today. After our grandfather's passing, the shop closed, but the best memories & dreams live on.
