Palestine Classic

At Maknoon, we take pride in offering our classic Palestinian extra virgin olive oil, crafted from hand-picked olives grown by families who have cultivated the land for generations. Each harvest reflects a deep commitment to quality, authenticity, and respect for traditional methods.

While we bottle the oil in the United Arab Emirates, its origin lies in the olive groves of Palestine, where we work directly with trusted farmers who share our values. This close relationship ensures a traceable, responsibly produced oil that stays true to its roots.

Our olive oil is an excellent choice for those who appreciate origin, artisanal care, and outstanding quality. Whether for everyday cooking or to accompany a special meal, each bottle carries the essence of Palestine and the mark of Maknoon excellence.

Flavor Profile

Maknoon’s Palestinian extra virgin olive oil has a light golden color and a balanced profile. It offers a subtle bitterness with a gentle peppery finish, complemented by a fresh, grassy aroma. The olives are harvested later in the season, resulting in a smoother texture that works well across a wide variety of dishes.
