It All Begins with a Rescued Tree

From that work, three expressions of oil are born.

Each expression is produced to the same uncompromising standards of extraction, testing, and traceability.


One Tree One Bottle

What began as a gesture of gratitude, a bottle for you, and a bottle donated back to support the community has become a defining expression of what it means to support a rescued tree.

Today, both bottles go to the person sustaining that tree, with the freedom to enjoy, gift, or donate as they wish. The name "One Tree One Bottle" remains, honouring the roots of this idea: one tree, two bottles, infinite impact.

This expression flows from active guardianship and remains tied to a specific grove and season.

Each grove has its own unique fingerprint, characterized by its varietals, microclimates, altitude, and soil. Some years yield a single-varietal expression. Others are a field blend.

We don’t control that. Nature leads. We follow. And your oil stays connected to the exact grove you support.

Founder's Reserve

2025 Founder’s Reserve Personal Bottle - Abandoned Grove

First shared in 2009 with family and friends under the name Adagio del Colle, this oil became Family Reserve on its 10th anniversary. In 2023, it was renamed Founder’s Reserve, a tribute to the early members whose belief helped shape the mission.

Curated annually by Fil Bucchino, Founder’s Reserve is an early harvest expression from subsections of our rejuvenated groves.

Each edition is crafted and released in limited quantities, and adorned with a new label by longtime collaborator and artist Steve Hagey. The artwork honours the season and our shared dedication to art, design, innovation, and quality.

Community Reserve

Because nature doesn’t yield in perfect symmetry, Abandoned Grove sustains 30% of each grove for our members.

Starting in 2026, these trees form the Community Reserve, a living buffer that absorbs fluctuations in production and ensures continuity without compromise.

This grove-wide field blend reflects the full character of the season across our rejuvenated landscape. Bottled under its own label with the same rigour and restraint, it provides continuity for members across variable seasons, without compromising care or quality.

Starting in 2026
