A Story from the Galilee
Our story is one of many from the land itself. From a place where miracles once unfolded, the soil still seems to hold a touch of the divine.
Here, farmers follow the sacred tradition of tending to the olives as passed down to them through generations.
The oil harvested for each bottle of Terra is testimony to that enduring vitality. The same hills that inspire faith and wonder now nurture the fruit that becomes our oil — rich, fragrant, and alive.
At the heart of our story are the farmers — the guardians of these trees, the keepers of tradition, and the living link between the miracles of old and the gifts of today. From those ancient groves to your table, every bottle carries the spirit of the Galilee — a small everyday miracle in itself.
Age of Our Olive Trees
Across the hills of Deir Mimas stand over 150,000 olive trees that are many centuries old; some older than 2000 years.
The average age of these trees is said to be between 600 and 700 years, a testament to their resilience and the deep agricultural heritage of the region.
Their trunks bear the marks of wind and time, yet they continue to offer fruit of extraordinary grace.
From these trees, Terra draws its strength, its flavor, and its enduring connection to the land.
Testing and Quality Assurance
Every batch of Terra oil is carefully tested to ensure purity, balance, and freshness.
With naturally low acidity and high polyphenols, our oils exceed international extra virgin standards.
Harvest Timing and Process
The harvest begins after the first rain in early October when the olives reach perfect ripeness under the Mediterranean sun.
Each olive is handpicked in the cool morning air and pressed and bottled within hours to preserve its vibrant aroma and nutrients. This careful rhythm, passed through generations, keeps Terra oils pure, flavorful, and alive with the essence of Deir Mimas.
