The first auction house for olive oil

Two thousand years in the tree. Ninety seconds on the block.

Numbered micro-lots from catalogued millennial trees, laboratory-certified high-phenolic pressings, first-press futures — consigned by family mills, sold by timed auction, shipped from the estate to the winning bidder. The house never touches the oil.

Why an auction house

The gap between the grove and the shelf is forty to one hundred times

€3.6–6.5/kg

What the mill gets in bulk

Producer prices at origin, July 2026: Jaén €3.62–3.80, Chania €3.83, Bari thin and largely unquoted this summer (IOC sector statistics, Poolred trackers). Most small estates sell into that chain because no route exists to the buyers above it.

€139/L

What certified oil sells for

Median across verified high-phenolic pressings, July 2026 — the range runs €42 to €1,340 a litre. Published lab numbers trade like vintage wine; the EU health claim needs 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol per 20 g, and the good ones carry double.

€250–904/L

What provenance commands

Numbered flagship bottles from catalogued millennial trees: Oldfargus 2000 at €499 a litre, Arbor Sacris reselling in Dubai at €904 — runs of a few hundred bottles a year. There has never been a venue where these lots find their price by open bidding. Now there is.

No listing fees. No buyer's premium. A flat 22% commission when your lot sells — and nothing otherwise. The complete fee schedule for our first year
Provenance is the product

Every lot carries a dossier, not a description

The tree

Catalogue number from an official inventory — the Territori del Sénia registry alone holds 6,358 millennial trees under its guarantee mark, and Puglia keeps a regional register of monumental groves. The lot names its tree.

The laboratory

Free acidity, peroxide value, K-indices and a polyphenol assay, published in full. An accredited tasting panel's grade beside them. Numbers first; adjectives after.

The pressing

Harvest date, extraction temperature, time from tree to press, bottling date. Fresh oil is a vintage product — the dossier treats it like one.

How a sale runs

Timed lots, proxy bidding, no games

The catalogue opens

Sales follow the crop: the New Oil Sale after December pressing, the Spring Sale after award season. Each lot shows its estimate, its reserve status and its full dossier.

You leave a maximum

The house bids for you — one increment at a time, never more than needed, exactly as the great wine rooms do it. Your ceiling stays sealed.

The soft close

A bid in the final two minutes extends the lot by two more. Sniping buys nothing here; the lot ends when the bidding does.

The estate ships to you

Hammer price goes to the mill; the mill ships direct in certified packaging, tracked. The house invoices its commission and holds nothing — not your money, not the oil.
