About Us

 

Spain has captured a special place in our hearts for its gastronomy from our family's travels across Europe in the last two decades. We had learned that the secret ingredient to every Spanish dish's delightful taste, aroma, and magnificent indulgence is the use of extra virgin olive oil from the olives of that region. 

 

After trying different brands in the U.S. supermarkets, we realized that finding an olive oil that matched the flavor and quality we had experienced in Spain was a real challenge. Spain has some of the best olive varieties for flavor, and its geographical and climatic conditions are best suited to produce high-quality olives rich in polyphenols. U.S. domestic production meets only 5% of the demand. 

​

So, in 2019 I decided to break away from my 25+ years of the corporate world and founded Louis Organics. We bought a stake in a small farm-sourcing olive mill in the mountains of Sierra de Alcaraz, Spain. 

 

We use 100% local olives from small family farmers in the community, paying them a premium price for high-quality olives cultivated using sustainable farming methods and practicing biodiversity. The location of these farms on the mountain range with cold winters and long hot summers is ideal for olive cultivation. The farmers follow sustainable farming practices like manure as a natural fertilizer, fallen leaves compost, rainwater harvesting, crop rotation, integrated livestock, and cover crops. We take all measures to preserve its freshness, flavor, and nutrients by harvesting the olives using mechanical means and cold extracting the oil within hours of harvest. The result is intense fruity olive oil high in polyphenols and low in acidity with a delightful balance of pleasant spiciness and bitter taste of green almond, tomato, apple, and freshly cut grass. Our brand is certified organic and kosher.

 

We use proper temperature controls in production and storage, package them in dark glass bottles at the mill, and then store them in a temperature and light-controlled facility ready to ship to customers to preserve quality.

 

Gold awards received by our brand from major International food trade shows and the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition judged by world-renowned olive oil connoisseurs are an authoritative recognition of the quality and taste. 

 

We focus on delivering this oil using a farm-to-kitchen model directly to U.S. consumers at farmers' markets, specialty food stores, the food service industry, and the Louis Organics online store.

 

We are a certified minority-owned (MBE) small business (SBE) based in NJ, a member of the North American Olive Oil Association (NAOOA) and Specialty Food Association (SFA).

​

Every bottle sold empowers small family farmers to continue sustainable organic farming practices and motivates young farmers to uphold rural economic development.
