Maarava Extra Virgin Olive Oil is special in every way. It is grown on land in a remote agricultural settlement just one mile from the Egyptian border in a place where one would not expect agriculture to flourish.

Elchanan and his fellow farmers employ unique Israeli irrigation techniques to bring water to their land and to maintain robust healthy crops and trees. Elchanan follows the best practices for olive oil production. During harvesting season in the autumn, he harvests his olives during the day and takes them immediately to an olive oil press where he cold-presses the fruit on the very day that it is harvested. While this is a major challenge and makes for long and arduous days, he knows that the effort is worth it as it results in the highest quality olive oil with a maximum acidity of no more than 0.6 -0.8%

Elchanan’s Maarava Olive Oil is perfect for dressing salads, bread dips, and grilling vegetables. It is healthy and has a pleasing fragrance and gentle taste.
