Rish Lakish

The Rish Lakish olive grove and olive oil mill are located in Zippori, a village in the Lower Galilee region. Spread out between ancient archaeological sites and the Israel National Trail, right in the heart of the Jezreel Valley, are 6,000 olive trees, among them 2,500 dating back a millennium. Over the course of four decades the Noy Meir family have carefully restored these trees and with precise harvesting methods produce a pure olive oil rich in history and flavor.
 
In an era where capital determines quantity, The Noy Meir family took a different route. Instead of taking the more profitable and convenient path in which they could outsource the oil-extraction process from a large-scale factory or purchase machinery to shake the olives off the tree, they renovated their chicken coop into an olive mill and recruited members of the community to hand pick each fruit, having complete control over the creation process.
 
With cleanliness being the headline for their work ethic, every step is calculated for an end product that compares to no other.
