From my travels in search of the sun to your table. Welcome to the world of real olive oil.
A few words to begin
Hi, I'm Josef. Perhaps until recently, you were in a similar situation to me – I thought I knew what olive oil tasted like. But then I tasted the real thing. Fresh, full of life, with the scent of freshly cut grass, green tomatoes, and almonds. At that moment, I realized that what is commonly sold in supermarkets is very far from the true "liquid gold" from family farms.
Story
I decided I had to bring this culinary experience to the Czech Republic. I started talking directly to family farmers in sunny Andalusia, in Catalonia and in the Arribes del Duero region. I was looking for those who have known their trees for generations, harvest their olives at a carefully chosen moment and can document the quality of their oil. I plan to keep travelling and gradually expand the selection of oils. I really enjoy it.
My philosophy (What you'll find with me)
Personal selection: You won't find hundreds of average bottles with me. I have carefully chosen every oil from farms such as Finca la Torre, Basilippo, Oro del Desierto or Miliunverd, and I stand behind each one a hundred percent.
No compromise on quality: I choose only extra virgin oils with absolutely zero taste defects, often from lesser-known varieties – whether it's the ancient Farga variety or the rare Zorzal de Arribes.
An experience in every drop: Whether you are looking for a delicate oil for a salad or a complex, peppery one for a steak, I want every bottle you open to be a small celebration.
I believe that once you taste the difference, you'll never want to go back to ordinary oils. Not sure where to start? Launch my virtual sommelier to help you choose, or simply write to me. I'll be happy to personally help you with your first bottle.
