Our Philosophy
In an age defined by imitation, authenticity has become a rare virtue. The modern olive oil trade has strayed from its roots, overshadowed by commercial blends and hollow claims that dilute the meaning of “extra virgin.”
Black Horse Initiative returns to origins. Our oil is first cold-pressed, drawn exclusively from family estates that grace Albania’s sunlit hills. Each olive is nurtured to peak ripeness, harvested by hand, and pressed within hours to preserve its aroma, flavor, and vitality.
The result is olive oil that is vivid yet balanced — a golden-green elixir with hints of freshly cut grass, ripe fruit, and a subtle, lingering peppery finish. Rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, every drop embodies the purity, depth, and character of the Dumrea region.
What We Stand On
What sets Black Horse Initiative apart is more than quality. We invest in the people behind the harvest, paying farmers above market value to honor their expertise and dedication. Our founders walk the groves alongside those who cultivate the land, helping the region’s agriculture thrive, experiencing the work firsthand rather than from distant offices.
We partner with farmers whose hands have nurtured the same soil for generations. Together, we safeguard a lineage of purity and respect — for the land, for the craft, and for truth itself.
Each bottle is a quiet homage to Dumrea: its light, its soil, its people.
Pure. Elegant. Enduring.
