Palestinian Heritage Olive Oil
Saving Palestinian olive trees threatened in their homeland.
Preserving 2,000 years of heritage for future generations.
THE
PROJECT
Palestinian olive cultivars like Nabali, Souri, and Rumi face destruction in their homeland. These ancient varieties carry centuries of heritage.
We're rescuing and replanting these threatened trees in Mediterranean soil. This isn't just agriculture—it's preserving living history.
Every tree saved represents thousands of years of Palestinian agricultural heritage that future generations deserve to inherit.

- •Established agricultural infrastructure
- •Strong artisanal food culture

Considerations
- •Higher land costs
- •More regulatory complexity
- •Urban development pressure
Alentejo
Advantages
- •Lower land acquisition costs
- •Rich olive-growing tradition

Current Selection: Mataró offers the perfect balance of Mediterranean climate, cultural alignment, and market access for our Palestinian heritage olive project. However, we remain open to community input and may evaluate alternatives based on backer feedback.
