Description
Palestinian olive oil — from trees that are centuries old, often from groves cultivated by the same families across generations — is not simply a cooking fat. In Palestinian culture it carries the weight of identity, connection to land, and continuity across displacement. As a culinary ingredient, the Rumi and Nabali olive varieties (the primary Palestinian cultivars) produce an oil with a specific character — robust, peppery, with grassy and herbal notes — that reflects the specific terroir of Palestinian hillsides. The book's title, Zaitoun, means "olive" in Arabic.
