Founded in 1998, we were the first company to take American olive oil to a whole new level. While olives have grown in California for hundreds of years, we`ve pioneered new ways of cultivating and harvesting olives in order to make our extra virgin olive oil premium and affordable. We`ve developed our own ranches and helped family farmers throughout Northern California develop previously unusable farm acreage into olive orchards. The approach we take on growing olives uses time honored farming techniques while fully embracing modern technology; we even have apps that chart the history of each orchard. And we use sustainable production methods every step of the way.
Enveritas offers a new approach to sustainability assurance for companies and farmers. We are building sustainability solutions for smallholder coffee farming communities that are currently beyond the reach of existing certification and verification approaches. YC S18.
