Meet Your Producers
Thinking small (batch), let's us think differently.
Most olive oil you find in the grocery store is blended from hundred of farms and often different regions, varietals, and even countries.

Alentejo, Portugal
Virgulino Neves

Ribatejo, Portugal
João Mendes
We first partnered with João Mendes for our inaugural small-batch olive oil release, and the response was nothing short of extraordinary. Born and raised in the Ribatejo region, João grew up among groves and presses—his family has been producing olive oil for four generations. Beyond crafting his own exceptional oils, he also operates the go-to mill...
