Import Peace
Bringing the world's very finest olive oil to you
Import Peace
Select the best grade of olive oil:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil:
This top grade, low acidity (under 1 percent), comes from the first pressing of the choicest, handpicked olives from the harvest. Olives are mechanically pressed, requiring no heat or chemicals. Palestinian extra virgin oil has natural antioxidants which help keep it from going rancid. Flavor, color & consistency vary, like fine wines, with different olive varieties, location and weather.
Virgin Olive Oil: This has higher acidity level because olives pressed are not necessarily top grade or may be from a second or even third pressing of the pulp.
“Pure” Olive Oil: This is the commercial grade oil found on most grocery store shelves. The oil is extracted using heat, high pressure and solvents from pulp and pits left after the first or second pressings or from low quality olives.
We sell only the top grade Extra Virgin Olive Oil which is organically grown and hand pressed. With the help of our partners, we ship the highest grades of extra virgin olive oil from Palestine guaranteeing that you receive the very best olive oil with all its fresh, bright flavor.
Import Peace only sells USDA organic certified olive oil. Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and
conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic foods are made without using conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionization radiation. Before our olive oil can be called "organic" a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the olives are grown to make sure the farmer is meeting USDA organic standards. For more information on the USDA Organic certification standards and organic foods in general visit the USDA's Website: http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop/indexNet.htm
