Article Synopsis
- Olive oil is a vital income source for Palestinian farmers, but some local oils do not meet International Olive Council (IOC) trade standards, limiting access to international markets.
- The 2010 evaluation of four Palestinian olive varieties (Nabali Baladi, Nabali Mohassan, Souri, and K18) found that most met IOC standards for extra virgin olive oils, though certain components slightly exceeded limits.
- The sensory profile of the olive oils revealed flavors reminiscent of tomato and artichoke, with mild bitterness and pungency, providing a baseline for future research on olive oil quality and implications for improving market access.
