 From the back of my (empty) bottle:

HOLY LAND OLIVE OIL

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

First Cold Press


"If the olive trees knew the hands that planted thtem, their oil would 
have become tears..."

This saying, attributed to a Palestinian poet, highlights the 
Palestinians' deeply held emotional connection to olive trees and the 
land.  Some of the olive trees where this oil comes from are over 2000 
years old--giving this oil a unique link to the ancient Mediterranean 
and its history.

Palestinian farmers have traditionally hand-picked their olives, which 
they acre for without the use of chemicals or pesticides.  This oil was 
produced by the Organic Olive Oil Farmers Collaborative in the 
Tulkarem/Qalqilia region in the northern West Bank.  It is characterized 
by its distinct personality, robust aroma and flavor.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each bottle benefits charity 
and the work for peace.  For aditional information please visit our 
website at www.palestineoliveoil.org

Also, although it was a previous batch, I can personally vouch that this 
is a damn fine-tasting olive oil, and everyone I've shared it with has 
said the same thing.  Terrence if you want to give it a try I advise you 
to email me soon, since this is a very small brand with extremely 
limited availability, and in the unlikely event you do find it, it will 
definitely cost you more than $11.67 unless you buy a whole case for 
yourself.  I'm probably not gonna be doing this again, since I'm not 
doing it for charity, I just want to get my hands on some oil for 
myself, so it's first-come first-served.
