Ptora is a family-owned farm in Israel’s Lachish region that has nurtured a deep love for the land and olives for generations. Its name comes from an ancient Byzantine city discovered beneath their groves—a symbol of their profound connection to history and tradition. Today, the third generation of the Tamir family leads the estate, blending inherited knowledge with modern practices.
Their olives—both indigenous and international varieties—are hand-harvested and cold-pressed within hours, preserving freshness, rich polyphenols, and a vibrant, authentic flavor. Ptora’s oils have earned prestigious international recognition, from awards in New York and Japan to gold medals at Mediterranean competitions. What sets them apart is the harmony of tradition, innovation, and respect for nature—each bottle carrying the story of a family, a land, and a passion for creating exceptional olive oil.
