CASA OLIVE was born from the longing to look again at something we had been taking for granted — to revive the way we appreciate the craft of making pure extra virgin olive oil.
Based in Barcelona, to us olive oil is not an ingredient, but a ritual, rooted in memories: summer evenings at our parents' house, at the end of a hot day, sitting together outside on the terrace. The temperature begins to soften, the light becomes warmer, and one can hear crickets and frogs as it gets dark. A slight breeze after the heat of the day, and the whole family gathered around a table
At the centre of many of those dinners is pa amb tomàquet (Catalan for pan con tomato): good bread, ripe tomato, a little salt, and extra virgin olive oil to hold everything together. Today, our limited edition Arbequina organic extra virgin olive oil is rooted in the philosophy of our grandparents:
You grow something. You harvest it when it was fully ripe. You process it by hand. And you share it.
CASA OLIVE is about simple ingredients treated with respect. About hospitality. About seasonality. About telling stories around a table. About knowing where things come from. About beautiful objects that have a purpose. About taking something ordinary seriously without making it complicated.
