A business venture born out of a passion for olive oil and a Texas family legacy. 1836 grows, harvests, mills, and bottles Texas-grown olives from four varietals, creating a boutique production of extra virgin olive oil that has been critically acclaimed by some of the highest rated chefs in America. The orchard’s first commercial production of extra virgin olive oil was harvested in Fall 2016 and bottled as 1836: A TEXAS OLIVE COMPANY. In March of 2017, 1836 made its debut on the shelves of Bering’s in Houston, and since then has grown to include a retail presence at gourmet shops throughout the Houston, Austin, and Central Texas areas.
