Walk down any supermarket aisle, and you’ll see dozens of bottles of olive oil promising “extra virgin” quality. Yet most shoppers don’t realize that the oil in those bottles may have traveled for months — sometimes years — before it reaches the shelf. By then, much of the freshness and nutritional value that makes olive oil so powerful is already gone.
That’s why my family made the switch to a subscription of Shiloh Blend Olive Oil, pressed and blended in the Land of Israel. And I’ll never go back.
This isn’t just olive oil. It’s a story in a bottle.
Israel is not only the birthplace of faith — it is also one of the world’s oldest centers of olive oil production. The same hillsides where prophets once walked are still lined with ancient olive groves, many of them producing fruit to this day. The soil, the sun, and the Mediterranean climate create growing conditions that give Israeli olive oil a character you simply can’t replicate anywhere else. It’s bold yet balanced, fragrant yet peppery, with a richness that speaks of history and heritage.
The Shiloh Blend comes from groves in the rolling hills of Samaria, not far from the ancient city of Shiloh where the Tabernacle once stood. This land has produced olives for thousands of years — the same trees and soil that supplied oil for light, food, and anointing in biblical times. The combination of rocky soil, Mediterranean sun, and cool evening breezes gives the olives their intense flavor and high quality. Every drop of oil carries not only freshness but also a deep connection to the very heart of the Bible.
And unlike the mass-produced oils on grocery shelves, Shiloh Blend is crafted with care, packaged in protective tins that fully block light and oxygen. That means the vibrant flavors — and the natural antioxidants that make olive oil so healthy — stay intact from the press to your plate. Where generic bottles often blend oils from multiple countries, sometimes masking inferior quality, Shiloh Blend comes straight from Israel, pure and uncompromised.
The health benefits are as impressive as the flavor. Olive oil has long been prized as one of the world’s healthiest fats, rich in antioxidants and compounds that support heart health and reduce inflammation. But the fresher the oil, the stronger the benefits — and that’s what you get when it’s pressed and shipped from Israel, not warehoused for months overseas.
Shiloh Blend itself combines four varieties rooted in the region — Barnea, Picholine, Coratina, and Souri. Each adds something unique: fruitiness, complexity, strength, and depth. Together, they create an oil that is smooth and creamy yet bright, with a peppery finish that lingers. Drizzle it over fresh greens, roasted chicken, fish, or bread, and you’ll understand immediately why no grocery store bottle compares.
But here’s what makes it even better: the subscription.
Instead of guessing how long my olive oil has been sitting on a shelf, I know I’m receiving Shiloh Blend at peak freshness, delivered straight to my door. A 17oz tin sells for $39.99 as a one-time purchase — but when I subscribe, I save automatically. I pay just $33.99 with monthly delivery or $35.99 every two months, depending on what works best for my kitchen. For me, that’s peace of mind — and a guarantee that my family always has Israel’s finest on hand.
Olive oil has always been more than food. In the Bible, it anointed kings, lit the Temple menorah, and symbolized blessing, healing, and abundance. To bring this symbol of life and covenant from Israel into my home — not once, but every month — feels like I’m taking part in a tradition thousands of years old while also nourishing my family with one of the healthiest and most versatile foods on earth.
Once you taste fresh, authentic Israeli olive oil — pressed where the story of Scripture began — you’ll understand why I’ll never buy it off a grocery shelf again.
