Peace Oil,
extra virgin olive oil, is from Palestinian farmers using traditional
methods of the region, without the use of artificial pesticides and fertilizers.
Taste the distinct, tangy flavor of fresh olives at the peak of their
nutritional value. Exported by three fair trade groups, two of them Israeli,
Peace Oil encourages grass-roots cooperation, building bridges between
the two peoples.

Oil Partners with Three Fair Trade Groups
