How Olive Oil Startup Graza Brings In $48 Million A Year








Next step, vertical integration.
Sounds like Gaza lol
I have been consuming Gazan olive oil for decades
Ddddrizle less concentrated mean its not only picual ..?
Its mixed with less stable polyphenol
Diferent types of olive trees vary in quantity prod And quality ( polyphenol) anti inflamatory antioxidant …cell proliferation…
But still olive oil …i guess
There is better types like 2 main ones
Highest polyphenol taste of glory
I'll take my luxury brands. To each their own and I admire their hustle, but glass is better than plastic.
Plastic? All olive oil is the same? GTFO
Not good to refill plastic bottles especially when it comes to food… it gathers loads of microplastics
Tule number #1 for any natural oil!! Never in plastic bottle!
If the price is better and it's good quality, I would guy it in the can and transfer it at home in a glass container. Plastic is a no as much as possible for any food container.
Filling olive oil with microplastics and making it easily oxidized. Ffs
Very Competitive Market
