A multicultural community in Israel is producing Peace Oil as a symbol of cooperation in the Middle East

Show your support for peace in the Middle East by investing in a few bottles of Peace Oil, a high-grade olive oil made in the north of Israel by a collaboration of Arabs, Jews, Bedouins and Druze.

An initiative of registered UK charity The Charities Advisory Trust, Peace Oil encourages co-operation between communities. By helping to market their produce it hopes to bring economic prosperity to such enterprises, encouraging others to follow their example.

Profits from Peace Oil are used to support peace and reconciliation work in the Middle East.

The striking label for the bottle, designed by Pearce Marchbank, reflects this collaboration through the inclusion of the words "Peace Oil" in English, Hebrew and Arabic.

Peace Oil is made from organically grown Suria olives found in the foothills of the Carmel Mountains and because it is not produced in bulk is has the equivalent taste and quality (for olive oil) to that of a fine, estate bottled wine.

In order to produce this exquisite oil, olives are taken straight from the tree to the mill and are pressed in conditions that do not exceed 30 degrees in temperature.

One bottle costs £9.95 (around $18 at current rates) plus postage. For more information:, visit www.peaceoil.org
