Zatoun Fair Trade Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Zatoun Extra Virgin Olive Oil is grown using traditional methods on the ancient land and terraces on the hills of Palestine. Sourced from small-scale growers working in co-operatives in the West Bank this is the world’s first fair trade olive oil (awarded certification in 2009).

Zatoun is made for the Nabali olive variety native to Palestine – the land of the first olive trees.  It is delicate, full-bodied, with a sweet and smooth and a peppery finish. 

Zatoun is perfect for dressings, marinades, for drizzling, and for sautéing vegetables or meats.  And it is simply delicious with pita bread and baguette – try with Zatoun own za’atar thyme herb mix. 

Always the perfect oil for your home table or someone else’s.  Gift Zatoun olive oil instead of a bottle of wine – your friends will enjoy the oil and remember the giver much longer
