Zatoune wa Manqousheh (Olives and a Za’tar Pie)

On the occasion of the olive harvest the Palestinian Museum team hosted a day full of national foods and adventures related to the land. Nearly 600 visitors, including children, families, and interested individuals enjoyed a traditional breakfast of za’tar and olive oil pies and traditional bread with labneh (strained yoghurt) and za’tar, that reminded participants of the spontaneous bounty of the land and harvest time. Tea and coffee were served on the terrace overlooking the museum’s gardens, followed by communal olive-picking and curing.
