Flavor Profile and Quality of Jerusalem Olive Oil

Jerusalem Olive Oil is distinguished by its deep color and bold taste. The oil has a unique blend of fruity, peppery, and slightly bitter flavors, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate high-quality extra virgin olive oils. This is a direct result of the traditional harvesting and pressing methods used in the region, ensuring that the oil retains its natural flavors and nutrients.

Key Characteristics of Jerusalem Olive Oil

• Acidity and Purity: The acidity of this premium olive oil ranges from 0.3 to 0.6, with a peroxide level below 8. These values ensure that the oil is of the highest quality, retaining its pure and natural taste.

• Traditional Harvesting Methods: The olives are handpicked from centuries-old trees, contributing to the preservation of their rich flavor. The olives are then processed using stone mills or cold-pressing techniques to extract the oil, ensuring that no chemicals or heat are used during the process. This method retains the full range of flavors and antioxidants that are characteristic of high-quality extra virgin olive oil.

• Terroir of Jerusalem: The terroir of the olive groves in Jerusalem plays a crucial role in the character of the olive oil. The combination of the region’s climate, soil, and centuries-old cultivation practices results in an oil with unique characteristics. Jerusalem’s olives benefit from the area’s elevation, which allows the olives to develop a rich and deep flavor profile.
