Picky partners

terra 20 is all about making healthy, sustainable products easily available to members of the Ottawa community. They've formed partnerships with all kinds of local vendors that strive to do the same - now including us.

Part of what makes our partnership with terra 20 a perfect fit is...we're both picky! We grow our own olives at our family grove Vasikali, Peleponnese, Greece. We use quality management processes that have been passed down in our family for generations. And we only carry pure, olive-based products completely free of any additives or preservatives, canola oil, vegetable oil or other chemicals. It's because our EVOO's best-in-class that terra 20's comfortable letting our products flow from their shelves.

Now featuring BEVOO

The elixir's two main ingredients, Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and black garlic, have tons of amazing health perks.
