Meet our founders
EXAU was founded by us, Giuseppe & Skyler, we also happen to be husband and wife, making our business 100% family-owned. We specialize in the production of high-quality Italian EVOO.
Starting EXAU in 2017 was the perfect opportunity to bring our passions together. Giuseppeâs family has been producing premium EVOO from their seaside groves for almost 100 years, and Skyler has a background in architecture, design, and wine making.
EXAU marries the modern culinary needs of home cooks with 80+ years of Calabrian tradition. Thank you for welcoming us into a little corner of your kitchen!

We spent two years writing a book for you, our customers, the people who helped us build EXAU into what it is today. This book represents our love for storytelling and beautiful things but with the narrative focusing on the product that we've dedicated our careers to, really good EVOO.
This should be fun.
Over the past 15 years consumers have been bombarded with misinformation about cooking fats. We don't want to contribute to that. Shopping for EVOO should be fun! A process where consumers feel encouraged, supported, and excited when their shipment arrives.
We want you to feel as confident as we do in the kitchen when reaching for a bottle of EXAU, knowing it's going to make everything taste 5x better. Salads will taste fresher, mushrooms more earthy, and ragu more rounded. That's what good EVOO will do in your kitchen.

What is olive oil?
The by product of when the olive fruit is separated into water, solids, and oil. However, there are different qualities.
Regular OO is refined to create a unified flat taste while EVOO is fresh and vibrant and unique in taste.

What makes it 'extra virgin'?
EVOO is the highest-quality olive oil available. The fruit must be fresh and harvested and milled quickly.
EVOO has strict standards for chemical properties such as free fatty acids and peroxide levels. It also must have an excellent organoleptic (sensory) profile.
As the base of the Mediterranean diet, EVOO is also the best cooking fat and has incredible health benefits.

What makes our EVOO special?
Our products are exclusively produced in Calabria, Italy. Our trees grow along the Ionian coast, where our family has been producing oil for almost 100 years.
There are 3 different generations of trees planted by Giuseppe's grandfather, father, and us. Each fall we harvest our olives continuing our families traditions and sharing them with thousands of customers across North America.
