Where our story begins
Little Olive Oil was created to introduce high-quality Albanian extra virgin olive oil to independent retailers across Europe. The brand was founded by Herman Ermal Pobrati (also known as The EVOO Gardener), a trained and accredited olive oil sommelier and professional landscape gardener, including work on RHS Chelsea projects.
Herman grew up harvesting olives in his family’s groves in Albania and taking them to local mills, a tradition still followed by small family farmers across the country today. He is the public voice of the brand, sharing the story of each harvest, the flavour profile, and how these extra-virgin olive oils are best used. This gives Little Olive Oil a clear point of view, a strong backstory, and a knowledgeable spokesperson retailers can rely on.
All EVOOs in the range are from the November 2025 harvest, bottled by harvest and never mixed across seasons. The collection is packaged in modern 100% recycled aluminium to help protect freshness, reduce weight and deliver a strong shelf presence.
