Kerem Yerucham is an astonishing and beautiful swath of green amid the brown and gold shades of the Negev Desert. It is precisely the challenging desert growing conditions of long hot, dry summers and very little rainfall that give Kerem Yerucham’s olive oil its distinctively delicious flavor.
The extra virgin olive oil is made by pressing Barnea olives which is a unique Israeli hybrid olive that is known for its high-quality oil.
Barnea olive oil has a smooth, well-balanced flavor with green notes and a buttery finish. It is an excellent olive oil for cooking and dressing salads and making dips because it has a light, clean taste, and a wonderful fragrance.
Kerem Yerucham recommends storing your olive oil in a cool dark place.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kerem Yerucham is located in Yerucham, a small town south of Judea in the Negev Desert. Two families, the Gabbers, established the farm in 2018. They discovered that they both shared the same dream to bring more agriculture to the small desert town.
After much dreaming, planning, and hoping, they managed to purchase 25 acres of land on the outskirts of their hometown, Yerucham. They were thrilled to find land suitable for the olive grove and grape vines. Together the two families tend the land, coaxing growth despite the challenging desert growing conditions – Yerucham receives less than 4 inches of rain annually!
Kerem Yerucham is more than a farm. The two families have created a space for the community to come together to celebrate life events like bar and bat mitzvahs, anniversaries, and weddings.
They hope to be able to expand their vineyard and olive grove in the coming years. Each tree and vine represent the fulfillment of their dreams to restore the land and make the desert bloom.
