Who We Are

We are united visionaries and builders, driven by purpose—unlocking the land’s true treasure

At Black Horse Initiative (BHI), we are more than olive oil makers—we are on a mission to heal a nation, provide fair markets for farmers, and restore health to consumers. We honor generations of farmers who have nurtured Albania’s sunlit hills through centuries of struggle, valuing their craft and preserving their legacy.

What We Stand On

  • Mission

    To reveal the treasure of the Balkans to the world

  • Vision

    Building a bridge by which farmers and merchants can develop trust to do business with the world

  • Values

    In our company, we prioritize faith, family, transparency, and the pursuit of excellence, all rooted in a culture of honor

Our Impact

We pay tribute to our farmers by restoring justice to their craft after the hardships of the Ottoman Empire and decades of communism. Our founders walk the groves alongside the farmers who cultivate the land, supporting the region’s agriculture and experiencing the work firsthand—never from distant offices.

By paying above market value and remaining present in the groves, we help safeguard a way of life shaped by patience, generational knowledge, and deep respect for the land.
