From the Region’s Produce

The olive is one of the Seven Species in the Bible, the grain and fruit our country was blessed with. It is also one of the best oils. The oil production process celebrates nature and man, where we connect and become closer to our roots and the earth. Bitan Habad produces cold-press extra virgin olive oil using modern methods.
