About Organic Olive Oil

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.

First Harvest 2024

With excitement and anticipation, Rish Lakish have started their early first harvest of 2024.

With the echos of rockets from the war in the background, the amazing team of the Noy Meir family - Ayala and her almost 80 year old father Micha - Ali Abu Schada, Shacha David from Tzipori and dedicated Thai workers are hand picking the first fruit of the ancient Suri Romi olive trees.

The first batches from these trees are bottled unfiltered that give a potent flavor and scent of the green fruit.

We think this year is one of the best batches ever from Rish Lakish and should be enjoyed directly and not used for cooking.
