humans' favorite cooking fat for 6,000+ years

We do! Our founders grow olives in Calabria, Italy. Each year we harvest and mill the fruit into premium Italian extra virgin olive oil. In shortages we source fruit from family owned farms in Calabria.

We exclusively work with fruit grown in Calabria, Italy. We also only work with small, family owned businesses.

We use a modern stainless steel mill for our Italian olive oils. The oils are filtered to remove particles, maintain quality, and create a shelf stable product.

EXAU is PESTICIDE FREE. We practice regenerative farming (organic farming methods) and work with an agronomist PhD. All of our growing partners are certified organic in the EU.
"I think there is so much value in getting good quality olive oil. My bottles tend to last long and I’m not shy about using as much as I need/want. I highly recommend if your preference is Italian olive oil."
- Ann C., Happy customer
