The agrumato process is truly what sets Canaan Palestine apart from commercially infused olive oils
Canaan Palestine, the leading exporter of Palestinian olive oil, features a seasonal lineup of fused olive oils using lemon, garlic, chilli, and basil. These flavoured olive oils are crafted through a labour-intensive process known as the agrumato method to extract every ounce of flavour. Produced only once a year, this offering celebrates Palestinian heritage, regenerative farming practices, and traditional craftsmanship.
The agrumato process is truly what sets Canaan Palestine apart from commercially infused olive oils; simply adding ingredients after pressing the olives. Through crushing whole ingredients including lemon, garlic, chilli, and basil, along with ancient landrace Souri olives at the olive press, it ensures that each bottle has an unparalleled amount of flavour. The process requires exact timing and agricultural precision to guarantee that each ingredient is at peak ripeness for exceptional pairing with the olive harvest, resulting in a flavorful olive oil that enriches every meal.
