Ptora Midnight Picholine
Ptora Midnight Picholine is produced with extreme care at night to avoid exposure to light. The olives are meticulously selected at an early stage of the season, harvested at sunset and immediately transferred to the oil press, where the extraction is done in complete darkness at low temperatures. This unique process results in an exceptionally bright green olive oil with a fresh, fruity and robust taste.
Where to Find Thirty-five years after planting an olive grove in the magical Lachish region of Israel, the Tamir family learned that an ancient Byzantine wine press was discovered on that very same spot. This indicated fertile soil and a large scale of agricultural activity. Thus a name was chosen: Ptora, after the ancient city. Ptora Farm specializes in growing olives and grapes, producing world-class, award-winning olive oil and boutique wines, among other Israeli agricultural products.
