About Our Products
The old adage “home is where the heart is” was said to originally been “home is where the hearth is”. Either way, heart or hearth, home is the essential touchstone throughout civilization, just as olive oil has been. Family, friend and strangers somehow seem to gather around the hearth, the kitchen as it is the beating heart of the home and partake of the bounty, however grand or humble.
Olive oil has been a staple of that existence for thousands of years, whether it be culinary, medicinal or incendiary. It still is, but … and it’s a big but, the olive oil of the past has been more difficult to come by in current times in much of the world – that is until now!

We have producers, importers and suppliers that concentrate their efforts to discover and produce the most superb Extra Virgin Olive Oils from around the globe, holding true to the motto that quality and freshness trump everything else.
