Olive Oil, Preorder and Delivery FAQ

The current offer is a preorder for our 2026 harvest. You are reserving oil from the upcoming harvest, which will be dispatched once it has been produced and packed. See the 2026 preorder details.

Orders will be dispatched by mid November 2026, with estimated delivery of 7 to 10 days after dispatch. Your order may ship earlier. The delivery window is an estimate, and we will keep you updated as the harvest and your order progress.

We deliver throughout Europe and to the USA, Canada, the UAE and Australia.

For Europe, the USA, Canada and the UAE, shipping is USD 7 for one 500 ml bottle. Shipping is free for two or more bottles or for one 2 L tin.

Australia has a flat shipping charge of USD 20 per order, including orders with multiple bottles or tins. The free shipping offer does not apply to Australia.

Souri, also spelled Suri, is the olive variety we grow. Our olives come from the family groves in Rameh, Galilee, in northern Israel. Discover the variety and the village’s olive oil history.

Extra virgin is a quality grade for olive oil obtained by mechanical or physical methods without refining. It must meet chemical and sensory standards. Acidity alone does not establish the grade.

We harvest our own olives by hand and bring them to our family mill for cold extraction. We keep our oil separate from oils from other groves and regions, so each pressing reflects our Souri olives and the season in which they grew.

Both contain our Souri extra virgin olive oil. A 500 ml bottle suits smaller households or the table. A 2 L tin holds the same amount as four bottles and suits a kitchen that uses olive oil regularly. Choose an amount you can enjoy while it is fresh.

Fruitiness, bitterness and a peppery sensation are positive attributes of extra virgin olive oil. Their intensity varies with the olives and the harvest. Our oil has a fruity aroma, grassy notes and a peppery finish, with flavor that can vary from one season to the next.

Yes. Extra virgin olive oil is suitable for everyday cooking as well as salads and finishing dishes. Try it with vegetables, lentils, fish, hummus or warm bread.

Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the cooker and direct sunlight. Limiting exposure to heat, light and air helps preserve freshness.

For the best flavor, buy a quantity you can finish within weeks or a few months after opening. Freshness gradually declines, and storage conditions matter. Olive oil does not improve with age.

Olive oil can naturally become cloudy or partly solid at low temperatures. That response to cold does not, by itself, mean the oil has spoiled. If you are concerned about your bottle, please contact us.

Not yet. The published laboratory report describes an unfiltered 2025 sample. Those measurements belong to that sample and are not results for the 2026 harvest.

The reviews include customers’ experiences with earlier harvests of Khalaf Souri olive oil. We have kept them with the products so you can read that history. They do not describe the upcoming 2026 batch.

We are developing a traceability initiative to help customers follow the story behind their bottle. It is still under development. Read about our plans and meet Basma and Maria.
