We are a 5-generation family of olive farmers rooted in the beautiful land of Sardinia, Italy. Our commitment to producing exceptional, traceable extra virgin olive oil is deeply ingrained in our family's heritage and values.
Obìa was founded by Enrico and Kate, husband and wife. From harvest to bottle, we work as a small family team on every aspect of our company. With our shared passion for health, nutrition, and the secrets of longevity, our mission is to bring the world a taste of what makes Sardinians live such remarkably long and healthy lives.
In the center of the Mediterranean Sea you the island of Sardinia, home to the longest-living men on Earth. Sardinia is Isolated far from the pollution of the major cities of Europe — having the cleanest air in all of Italy.
The warm climate boasts an ideal environment for growing olives, meaning we don't need to use any special treatments. The Nuragic populations of Sardinia cultivated and extracted oil from the natural wild olive trees almost 4000 years ago.
Our town of Villacidro is located high above sea level and is nestled in a valley below the nearby mountains, providing protecting from wind and natural underwater irrigation.
Sardinia is classified as one of the world's five blue zones - an area of the world where people live longer lives than average. Sardinia boasts 10x more centenarians than the United States, and is particularly known for having the highest concentration of male centenarians. Enrico's own great-grandfather, who passed down his own olive grove (Seddus) to us lived to 101.
