Our Founders

EXAU is a high-quality Italian olive oil brand. Our family has been growing olives on our family estate along the Ionian coast of Calabria, Italy for almost 100 years.

EXAU, the brand, was founded by husband and wife, Giuseppe & Skyler in 2017 with the vision of bringing fresh, premium EVOOs to customers across North America.

EXAU marries the modern culinary needs of home cooks with over 80 years of southern Italian tradition. Thank you for welcoming us into a little corner of your kitchen!
