In the southern desert of Israel, at Kibbutz Neot Smadar in Hevel Eilot, olive trees grow under open skies and intense sun, cultivated according to bio-organic methods without spraying or chemical fertilization. The dry desert climate, mineral rich soil, and traditional processing methods shape the character of these Barnea green olives, giving them a firm texture and distinct, full bodied flavor.
Neot Smadar operates as a desert kibbutz community committed to organic agriculture and mindful cultivation. The olives are naturally fermented and contain acidophilus probiotic bacteria derived from the fermentation process. No preservatives are added.
These olives are well suited for serving alongside cheeses, incorporating into Mediterranean salads, or enjoying on their own as part of a mezze spread. They bring the taste of Israel’s southern desert directly to your table.

Neot Smadar Organic Barnea Green Olives
Kibbutz Neot Smadar was established in 1986 by a group of friends with an interest in organic farming. (A kibbutz is a communal farm. The first kibbutz was established in Israel in 1909) The friends established their kibbutz in the southern Negev Desert 60 km north of Eilat and over the years they have coaxed the desert to bloom by cultivating an oasis of fruit trees, and vegetables.
Over the years they developed knowledge of the delicate ecosystem that experiences extreme temperatures and very little rainfall. Undaunted by the rocky desert soil they have cultivated 400 acres of land where they grow dates, olives, almonds, and a variety of fruit trees.
In addition to their flowering trees, the vibrant organic farm also raises goats for yogurts and cheese and a vineyard for making wine and has a vibrant community of artists who work in a variety of mediums creating beautiful functional art.
This small cooperative farm has developed an international reputation for the sweetest fruits, delicious olive oils, nectars, jams, and dried fruits.
Mordechai Corcos is an artist for Kibbutz Neot Smadar. He is a jeweler by profession who draws his inspiration from the soulful Negev Desert which surrounds the kibbutz. He is known for crafting unique Judaica, silver utensils, and restoration artifacts.
