Our Story
At the end of 2022 Zsajsha and her life partner Mike, found their Italian dream home. Drawn to the charm of the Adriatic coast, they found their perfect abode in the quaint town of Lanciano, Abruzzo. Their new home promised abundant potential, nestled amidst nearly three acres of land adorned with ancient olive trees.
The fall of 2023 brought their first olive harvest in October. With the helpful guidance and support from their neighbors, Zsajsha and Mike were able to swiftly learn the ropes of olive harvesting. Their community's warmth and expertise enabled them to complete their inaugural harvest in just two days, ensuring the olive oil's freshness and preserving the integrity of the oil.
