You can buy three varieties of Peace Oil,
Palestinian Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

• Peace Oil Green Action: 100% Nabali olives. Green Action, an Israeli fair trade group, supplies this olive oil from West Bank Palestinian farmers. The Nabali is the favorite pressing olive in Palestine and its unique flowery aroma is fast becoming world renowned. 5.6% acidity*
  
  
• Peace Oil Sindyanna: mostly Barnea olives grown by Arab farmers within Israel and supplied by Sindyanna, an Israeli fair trade group of Jewish and Arab women. Unlike the Nabali, the Barnea is more similar to European "grassy" flavored olive oils, such as the delicate Tuscan varieties. .25% acidity*
  
  
• Peace Oil Original: Nabali olives with some Barnea and Suri. Canaan Fair Trade of Jenin, Palestine supplies 75% of the oil, while Green Action and Sindyanna supply 25% in the original mixture.

* .8% acidity maximum to qualify as extra virgin.

 

The three fair trade groups that supply olive oil for Peace Oil:

• Green Action: Israelis and Palestinians Working for Fair Trade. Green Action sends volunteers into small rural West Bank villages in the Salfit area. They help the farmers organize into cooperatives, improve the quality of the olive oil to export standards, and harvest the olives. Peace Oil Green Action is 100% Nabali olive oil. The unique flowery aroma tells you where it is from.
  
  
• Sindyanna of Galilee: Palestinian and Jewish Women for Peace, Justice and Equality. Since 1998, Sindyanna has empowered Palestinian women through job training and improved the local Palestinian economy by purchasing traditional products including olive oil from Arab farmers in Israel. The Barnea olive, now favored by these farmers, is the main source of oil for Peace Oil Sindyanna.
  
  
• Canaan Fair Trade: empowering farming communities, preserving Palestinian culture and protecting the environment. Canaan buys olive oil from 1700 West Bank farmers. It reinvests its profits in the community by providing university scholarships and planting thousands of olive trees. 75% of Peace Oil Original is made from Canaan Nabali olive oil.

The blog begins in May 2009 with David Sokal's trip to the West Bank with Avi Levi, director of Green Action. David, owner of Olive Branch Enterprises (importer of Peace Oil), met with the farmer and press operator that made the olive oil for Peace Oil Green Action. See Living in the Dark for the full story.

Recent blog updates include more on the excellent work of Green Action. See SAHA, an Israeli Fair Trade Revolution. Also David Sokal offers some tantalizing suggestions for using Peace Oil: Peace Oil in Your Kitchen and on Your Plate. Add your recipe and serving ideas. We look forward to hearing from you.

Farmers in the Salfit region of the West Bank join together in the Zaytoun Cooperative with the help of Green Action.
