Saratoga Olive Oil Co., a family-owned business operated by Chad, Barbara, and Clint Braidwood, was founded in 2011. Prior to opening the company, the owners worked as research consultants in the pharmaceutical industry, studying and testing medications for various medical conditions, including depression, psoriasis, leukemia, lymphoma, and brain tumors. Although some pharmaceutical advancements have significantly benefited society, the owners recognized an over-dependence on medications and a lack of focus on the importance of dietary and lifestyle changes that could yield similar results.

The decision to transition to selling extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and balsamic vinegars was a welcomed change, as it aligned with the owners' desire to educate the public on the exceptional health benefits of these products. The Mediterranean diet, which is considered one of the healthiest diets in the world, is centered around the consumption of olive oil and balsamic vinegars. To ensure that customers receive the freshest and healthiest EVOOs, all of the olive oils sold at Saratoga Olive Oil Co. are laboratory tested for polyphenol, oleic acid, and free fatty acid (FFA) counts.

Since the opening of the flagship store in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 2011, Saratoga Olive Oil Company has expanded to include two additional brick-and-mortar stores in Burlington, Vermont, and Lake Placid, New York, as well as a growing online business. The company has been recognized as one of the top five stores in the world for olive oil selection and one of the top 10 most elegant shopping experiences globally.

Saratoga Olive Oil Company's mission is to provide consumers with the freshest Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The company follows the olive crush in both the northern and southern hemispheres to ensure that customers receive the most recently produced and healthiest oils available worldwide. The company's motto, "The best olive oil is the freshest olive oil," underscores their commitment to quality and freshness.

Saratoga Olive Oil Company offers a wide range of products and versatile ways for customers to incorporate them into their culinary experiences. From grilling and roasting to creating salad dressings and marinades, the company's high-quality olive oils, balsamic vinegars, sea salts, and spices can elevate any dish. The company has also partnered with celebrity bakers to develop delectable dessert recipes featuring their products.

In addition to their exceptional product offerings, Saratoga Olive Oil Company's products make great gifts for friends, family, and oneself.
