As Mother Nature Intended
Born from regenerative farming, nurtured by healthy trees, and crafted with expert care through every stage—harvest, extraction, tasting, and transport—each small batch tells a story of renewal and quiet elegance.
Our process takes patience and effort, but the reward is worth it:
An extra virgin olive oil that will not only change your life for the better, but the life of a community and its people.
Our Process Begins
With deep knowledge and year-round dedication, our team cares for each rejuvenated grove and tree—ensuring the healthy development of every single olive.

Harvest as an Art Form
The harvest is timed with precision to protect both the olives and the trees. It begins with a clear vision of the desired sensory profile, followed by the selective picking of only the healthiest olives—at the grove-subsection level—when each cultivar reaches its ideal point of maturation.
Precision at the Mill
Our master millers and world-renowned olive oil tasters take over—skillfully extracting and beginning the transformation process in a state-of-the-art mill. They taste, calibrate, and refine in pursuit of the envisioned sensory and phenolic profile. Each drop is immediately filtered and stored in temperature-controlled, oxygen-free fusti for continued testing and evaluation.

Unbiased by Design
Though we are expert tasters ourselves, every oil undergoes independent chemical analysis and blind sensory evaluation by certified panels—ensuring unbiased quality at every level.

Nature Sets the Limit
We don’t promise unlimited oil—each grove has its natural limits, and we respect them. We never buy outside olives or blend external oil to increase production.

Freshness in Flight
Bottled under nitrogen and under the strict supervision of the Abandoned Grove team, then air-shipped immediately to preserve peak integrity and seasonal character.
