Galilee Green Extra Virgin Olive Oil is among the best boutique premium brands in Israel
Deepen your connection with the Land of Israel and her People
Founder, Rabbi Shmuel Veffer Picking Olives in Yavne’el
It all started when we decided to join other members of our Yavne’el community here in the Galilee to pick olives and make our own olive oil.
The experience deepened our love for the Land and made us realize we were fulfilling a biblical promise with our own hands!
We became filled with a desire to share the Land’s miracles and blessings with others who love and support Israel but don’t have the same opportunity that we do of living here all year round.
So, we decided to create a special kind of company, to build a “family” of people like you, who want to join us by supporting small business in Israel and deepening your connection to the Land its People.
Watch us pick olives and make oil!

Enjoy our Premium Boutique Olive Oil
It’s made from a mild local Israeli variety of Barnea olives. The name Barnea comes from the biblical region of “Kadesh Barnea” in the Negev desert of Israel (Numbers 34:4). The Barnea olives have the best polyphenol content and produce extremely healthy olive oil.
Our olive oil is very smooth and mild when you taste it with just a bit of a tang a few seconds later. You’ll love its delicate fragrance.
You can trust you’ll be getting 100% pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and it is certified kosher mehadrin under the supervision of Rabbanut of Lachish.
It is supervised Kosher which means that the olives are only picked from trees that are over three years old and all Biblical tithes are taken. The olives are brought directly to the olive press the same day. As part of the Kosher supervision, the machines are washed and cleaned before our oil is cold pressed.
I have never tasted olive oil so light and pure. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes olive oil… a connoisseurs’ blend for certain!”

What makes a great olive oil?
Our Olives are cold pressed. The resulting oil is very smooth and mild when you taste it with just a bit of a tang a few seconds later.
That peppery tang is an indication that the oil is 100% extra virgin.
You’ll love its delicate fragrance. Most olive oils are too overpowering for baking and for many other recipes.
Galilee Green is perfect for salad dressings and dips. And you can even use it for baking. Here is a great brownie recipe and mandelbrot (biscotti) recipe.
We are comparable to the best boutique extra virgin olive oils in the world and are comparable in price.
So with Galilee Green you are guaranteed to be getting 100% cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil that is grown, harvested and cold pressed in the Land of Israel.
I was recently in California and went into some supermarkets and shops and was amazed at what I saw in the fine print on the backs of the labels, especially of the Italian EVOO (extra virgin olive oil).
Most of it was not from Italy (it was from countries that were providing oil for the cheapest price… (Libya, Tunisia, Turkey, etc)
Also, in some cases not all of the oil in the bottle was extra virgin (lower than 8% acidity). There is really no regulation of this by the FDA. So the only way you can be guaranteed to be getting 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil is to know the producer personally.

Also, we have a secret special ingredient.. the kedusha and bracha (the sanctity and blessing) of the Land of Israel.
When you buy our oil, you are supporting a small business in Israel which means you are helping the Nation of Israel come back home after 2000 years of exile and helping the Land bring forth her fruits!!!
And, finally, we have customers in Italy and Spain (two of the most famous olive oil countries) and our subscribers all over the world keep telling us we have the best tasting olive oil they have ever tasted .. here’s what they are saying …

Just received my 2nd and third cans of Galilee Green olive oil. I always wait excitedly for it. I make homemade bread and Mediterranean dips way too much with this delicious oil. I am not on Facebook, so I use this site to tell you how I love feeling I am a small part of your lives.

I would like to start purchasing olive oil for Israel. Where can I purchase it? How much is it cost? I would like to start buying it. I’m not a businessman. I like to buy it for myself.
