More than a premium extra virgin olive oil company, Abandoned Grove is saving the world’s olive groves and the communities reliant on them. We rank among the top 1% of quality extra virgin olive oil producers globally, are the world’s first 100% extra virgin olive oil from saved groves, and the only team championing olive grove rescue and restoration from the inside-out. Led by world-renowned olive oil expert Fil Bucchino, we fly fresh, nourishing, and wildly delicious extra virgin olive oil from our rescued and revived olive groves into the hands and hearts of uncompromising consumers. Every drop symbolizes renewal and appreciation for healthy, natural cycles of production and consumption while rebelling against environmental and social decline. To us, it’s just good taste. We saved our first olive grove in 2010, but hundreds of thousands remain abandoned worldwide. Join us and our vision: no grove abandoned. Abandoned Grove is proud to be B Corp certified and a 1% for the Planet business.
