## Sustainability story

In 2013 we set out to create an organic olive farm, that was supported by the endemic biodiversity of the region. This blossomed into a wide selection of Italian fare with a focus on organic products, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility. As we continue to strive towards making a better company we became a member of 1% for the Planet and then a BCorp member. We hope to continue improving our brand by committing towards climate neutrality.
