Karl Schuster, Founder
The transformative power of extra virgin olive oil
Olivetta was created by Karl Schuster, an accredited olive oil sommelier with a lifelong connection to the olive groves of the Peloponnese. His pursuit of purity, provenance, and ritual informs every element of the brand. From tasting rooms to packaging, Karl's expertise ensures that what you see, touch, and taste at Olivetta is the result of deep knowledge and enduring passion. Olivetta was born from a deep admiration and respect for the olive and its oil, a miracle liquid with life-enhancing properties.
At Olivetta, we honour the olive, its history and believe in the power of olive oil to enrich not only taste, but also health and beauty. What began as a love of olive oil became a deeper pursuit: to curate and create olive-based goods that truly enrich life through taste, beauty, and wellness.
At Olivetta, we believe that the way something is made is inseparable from how it looks and feels. Our visual identity is inspired by the mosaic, an ancient art form that reflects the olive’s own timeless legacy. Just as a mosaic brings together fragments to create something whole, each Olivetta product is part of a greater composition. Our design philosophy is rooted in simplicity, tactility, and quiet beauty. From the materials we choose to the labels we print, every detail is considered, edited, and intentionally refined.
Our ethos is grounded in selectivity. We don’t produce en masse; we choose with care. Every olive oil, salt, specialty food, homeware, or beauty product we offer is sourced from growers and makers who meet our uncompromising standards for provenance, purity, and purpose.
Whether it’s an early-harvest oil from a centuries-old grove or a beauty ritual infused with olive oil-derived ingredients, Olivetta represents a singular idea: the olive, considered.
