In 1903 my great grandparents came to the United States from Italy. Not only did they bring their recipes for traditional home-style Italian cooking, but they also brought their knowledge of raising olives for the creation of fine olive oil. Over several decades, they perfected the process that now lies at the heart of Two Trees Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Over 100 years later, I'm very proud to have passed this tradition onto my children and grandchildren, and to continue offering my grandparents' wonderful olive oil to the world.
With the advent of modern machinery and improved organic farming techniques, Two Trees Olive Oil has continued to raise the bar in extra virgin olive oil production - winning awards year after year for flavor, quality, innovation, and environmental consciousness. Not to mention, we consider our 3,000 employees worldwide to be part of a large, extended family, and have consistently improved working conditions and benefits, to ensure their happiness and job satisfaction. We feel fortunate to be able to put 5 percent of the total sales from our olive oil back into employee development programs such as continued education. In addition, another 5 percent of our olive oil sales goes directly to charitable social, environmental, animal welfare, and human rights causes.
