ONE LITER,
twice a year,
at the right moment
The Drop
Most people have never tasted a truly fresh, well-made EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil. The issue is not access. It is awareness and the absence of a trusted guide.
The Drop is a membership built around a single commitment: to find one exceptional oil at peak harvest and send it directly to you. Not monthly. Not on a schedule designed for convenience. Twice a year, aligned with harvest.
❋ SelectionOne oil. Chosen after weeks in the field. Worth your full attention.
❋ FreshnessExtra virgin olive oil begins to decline from the moment of extraction. We send it while it still speaks.
❋ KnowledgeEvery delivery includes what you need to understand what you are tasting.
❋ ParticipationYou are not a consumer. You are part of a process that begins in a field and ends at your table.
The Process
We go to the source.Our team of certified sommeliers travels to harvest regions across hemispheres, tasting dozens of oils to find the one worth sending.
The oil is bottled and shipped.From field evaluation directly to bottling and dispatch. No warehouse wait. No compromise on timing. Your oil arrives in its most expressive phase.
Your receive context and oil.Field notes, tasting frameworks, and seasonal observations arrive with each delivery. Open it that evening. Pour it over something simple.
The Team
JaDE Bentel
The ConnoisseurThe palate. Evaluates the oil on sensory terms: bitterness, pungency, fruitiness, finish. Knows what exceptional tastes like and what merely good is trying to get away with.
Kevin Duncan
The OrchestratorKnows the mill, the machinery, the timing of the press. Can tell the difference between an oil that was made with intention and one that was made with indifference.
Writes the field notes, builds the context, makes sure the oil arrives with meaning rather than just provenance.
