Spartan Oil Founder's Reserve Batch π - With Oil from Wild Olives

Inventory Note: For the first time in over 8 years, Batch π is available. Very limited quantities!

Wild olives. These trees are left to fend for their own in the wild. They grow amongst brush and rubble with no care. But, from these trees grows a fruit that produces a remarkable oil--fruity, sweet, and exceptionally low in acidity. Only recently are researchers rediscovering the wild olive as we understand more about polyphenols in olive oil.

Each bottle contains 90%+ wild olive oil, with the remaining 70% from our Founder's Reserve blend. Like the ancient Spartan warriors, less than 50 of these bottles will be produced for the 2024-2025 season. Each bottle is adorned with the "Batch π" seal. Packaged in a 200ml stoneware bottle.

This oil is remarkable as an accompaniment to the simplest foods--raw salad greens and lightly steamed or grilled vegetables. 

The yield of an average domesticated olive is about 1:5 (1 liter of oil for 5 kgs of olives), but the wild olive yields a far lower ratio of 1:20. Pricing reflects this factor along with the difficulty of harvesting olives in wild conditions. 

The bottle matters. Read about our stoneware bottles.
