Our Story
One grove, pressed with intent.
Farm first
We are farmers who bottle, not bottlers who buy. Every decision starts in the rows, not the spreadsheet.
Press fast
Six hours from branch to press. Freshness is not a marketing word — it is a stopwatch.
Waste nothing
Prunings heat the mill. Pomace feeds the soil. Bottles are made to be refilled, or at least respected.
The Short Version
How we got here
Seven years, four milestones, zero shortcuts.
2019
We bought seven hectares of eighty-year-old trees from a retiring grower who made us promise not to ruin them.
2021
First press under our own name. Forty cases. Sold out from a folding table at the village market.
2023
Built the mill next to the grove, cutting branch-to-press time from a day to under six hours.
2026
Two vinegars, four oils, and a stubborn refusal to blend. Still one grove.
“We don’t make olive oil. The trees make olive oil. We just try very hard not to get in the way.”
Lena Oliveto — Founder, chief pruner
