Welcome to Darna

Every Darna product begins in the hills and valleys of Palestine, where our families have farmed for generations. Our olive oil, za’atar, sumac, sage, and other goods are all handpicked and sun-dried the old-fashioned way, preserving the pure taste of our land.

Yes — everything we sell comes directly from Palestinian farms and artisans, many in our family’s village of Wadi Fukin near Bethlehem. We work directly with small producers who still use traditional methods of farming and drying.

We don’t just sell products — we share a piece of home. Our goods are grown naturally, sun-dried by hand, and packed in small batches to capture the authentic village flavor you can taste and feel.

Most of them, yes. Our blends, like za’atar and spices, are hand-mixed in small quantities, while our olive oil is pressed in small batches at local mills using traditional village methods.

Each batch is carefully checked for freshness, aroma, and purity before being packed and shipped. Our products are handled with care — from the farmers in Palestine to our warehouse in New York.

Many of our farmers use traditional organic practices, but our products are not certified organic yet. They are grown without chemicals, hand-harvested, and naturally sun-dried.

Never. All our products are 100% natural — no preservatives, fillers, or artificial colors.

Our olive oil is pressed from Nabali and Rumi olives grown in Wadi Fukin and nearby villages. Our za’atar is hand-blended from wild thyme, roasted sesame seeds, sumac, and a touch of sea salt — a recipe passed down through generations.

All our herbs, spices, and blends are prepared in Palestine, then carefully packed in New York to ensure quality and freshness before reaching your table.

All orders ship directly from our New York facility, where products from Palestine are packed and prepared with care.

Keep olive oil in a cool, dark place away from sunlight — never in the fridge. Store spices, za’atar, and herbs in airtight containers away from humidity to maintain freshness and aroma.

Olive oil and za’atar: up to 18–24 months. Dried herbs and spices: typically ~12 months if stored properly.

Not necessary. Keep them sealed and away from heat or moisture.

• Za’atar: Mix with olive oil for warm bread, sprinkle on salads, or season meats/vegetables.
• Sage: Steep 3–5 minutes for traditional Palestinian meramiyyeh tea — perfect after meals.

Yes! We love partnering with shops, cafes, and restaurants that share our passion for authentic Palestinian goods.

Absolutely. Many chefs and coffee shops use our olive oil, za’atar, and sumac for authentic flavor.

“Darna” means our home in Arabic — a tribute to our family’s village, Wadi Fukin, and the Palestinian homes that inspire every jar, bottle, and pouch we share.

Because food tells a story. Through every jar of za’atar or bottle of olive oil, we celebrate the land, people, and traditions of Palestine — keeping them alive for the next generation.

We work directly with small, independent farmers, paying fair prices and reinvesting profits back into their communities. Every purchase helps sustain Palestinian agriculture and preserve centuries-old traditions.
