About Yaffa - Company Timeline

Yaffa Limited began as a heartfelt initiative to support Palestinian farmers and preserve their traditions. Founded by a family with deep ties to the land, our journey started with a single mission: to bring authentic Palestinian products to the global market — ethically, sustainably, and with integrity. From Medjoul dates grown in the Jordan Valley to olive oil harvested in ancient groves, each product tells a story of heritage, resilience, and pride.
