Spartan Oil Founder's Reserve Batch π - With Oil from Wild Olives

Inventory Note: Sold out!

Wild olives. These trees are left to fend for their own in the wild. They grow amongst brush and rubble with no care. But, from these trees grows a fruit that produces a remarkable oil--fruity, sweet, and exceptionally low in acidity. Only recently are researchers rediscovering the wild olive as we understand more about polyphenols in olive oil.

Each bottle contains 90%+ wild olive oil, with the remaining 70% from our Founder's Reserve blend. Like the ancient Spartan warriors, less than 50 of these bottles will be produced for the 2024-2025 season. Each bottle is adorned with the "Batch π" seal. Packaged in a 200ml stoneware bottle.

This oil is remarkable as an accompaniment to the simplest foods--raw salad greens and lightly steamed or grilled vegetables. 

The yield of an average domesticated olive is about 1:5 (1 liter of oil for 5 kgs of olives), but the wild olive yields a far lower ratio of 1:20. Pricing reflects this factor along with the difficulty of harvesting olives in wild conditions. 

The bottle matters. Read about our stoneware bottles.
