The Black Horse Initiative was born from a calling—a shared conviction that Albania, a land steeped in ancient beauty and abundance, held treasures the world had yet to truly see. From its sun-drenched hills to its millennia-old olive groves, this land carries a legacy as enduring as time itself.

Our founders, though from different worlds, were united by the same burden: to honor what was already here. They walked among farmers whose families had tended the same soil for generations, preserving the art of olive cultivation with quiet excellence. What they found was not just a product—but heritage, craftsmanship, and faith interwoven through centuries.

Out of that encounter, Black Horse Initiative took shape—not merely as a company, but as a custodian of legacy. Built upon faith we stand as bridge-builders between Albania’s ancient lands and the modern world.

Every drop of our olive oil carries a story—a lineage of patience, purity, and perseverance. We do not chase trends; we preserve tradition. For us, success is not measured by speed, but by longevity, and our wealth lies in the honor of those we serve and the land we protect.

Because in the end, we are not just creating a brand.
We are continuing a legacy.
