5 Reasons You Should Be Using Olive Oil from Israel

There’s olive oil, and then there’s olive oil from Israel — the kind that’s been pressed from the same trees that have fed this land for thousands of years.

This isn’t hype. It’s history. The olive tree is one of the oldest cultivated trees in the world, and some of the oldest still grow today in Israel. These are not mass-produced oils from anonymous factories. They come from family-owned groves, nourished by a land so rich and ancient it practically breathes scripture.

Here’s why that matters — and why your next bottle of olive oil should come straight from the soil of Israel.

1. The Trees Are Ancient — Literally

Israel’s olive trees aren’t just old — they’re biblical. Some are estimated to be over 2,000 years old. These trees have stood through empires, droughts, and centuries of history, still producing fruit season after season.

They grow in places like the Galilee, Samaria, and the Judean Hills — the same hills where King David herded sheep, where prophets walked, where generations pressed oil for light, food, and healing.

When you use olive oil from Israel, you’re using oil that comes from the same kind of trees that King David spoke of in Psalm 52:8:
“But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God.”

2. The Land Is Unusually Fertile

Israel’s soil and climate are uniquely suited for olives. This small country contains diverse microclimates — from the cool hills of the north to the dry air of the south — creating perfect conditions for a wide range of olive cultivars.

Israeli farmers don’t need to force anything. The land gives. The olive trees thrive in rocky soil, intense sunlight, and just the right balance of Mediterranean humidity. This creates an oil that is deeply flavorful, robust, and rich in antioxidants.

It’s nature doing what it was designed to do — and doing it exceptionally well.

3. The Harvest Is Done With Care

Olives in Israel are still harvested with precision and patience. Many farms use traditional hand-picking methods that avoid bruising the fruit, which keeps the oil pure and fresh. The olives are then cold-pressed, usually within hours, locking in their intense flavor and nutritional value.

This kind of attention to detail isn’t about being fancy. It’s about honoring the tree, the fruit, and the tradition. And it’s why Israeli olive oil has such a clean, peppery taste — no bitterness, no fillers, just real oil, the way it was meant to be.

4. It’s Packed With Health Benefits

Extra virgin olive oil is one of the healthiest fats on earth, and Israeli olive oil ranks among the highest in quality. It's loaded with polyphenols — natural compounds that can fight inflammation, lower cholesterol, and protect the heart.

It’s no coincidence that olive oil is central to the Mediterranean diet, which is consistently ranked the healthiest in the world. A drizzle a day can support your brain, joints, skin, and more.

And when it comes from Israeli soil, it’s not just good for you — it’s as pure and potent as olive oil gets.

 

5. It’s Not Just Food. It’s a Legacy.

In Deuteronomy 8:8, the Bible lists “a land of olive oil” as one of the blessings of the Promised Land. That wasn’t poetic language. It was a description of Israel’s actual abundance.

To this day, olive oil is part of daily life in Israel — not just for cooking, but for celebration, healing, and tradition. It’s more than a product. It’s part of the soul of the land.

When you bring Israeli olive oil into your kitchen, you bring in a piece of that legacy. You taste the fruit of trees planted generations ago. You connect to something real, something rooted.
