Saratoga Olive Oil Co. is a family-owned business, operated by Chad, Barbara, and Clint Braidwood. Prior to establishing the company, they worked as research consultants in the pharmaceutical industry, studying and testing medications for various medical conditions. While they acknowledge the benefits of some pharmaceutical advancements, they also witnessed an overreliance on medications and a lack of emphasis on dietary and lifestyle changes that could yield similar results.

In 2011, the Braidwoods founded Saratoga Olive Oil Co. to focus on selling high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and educating the public on the health benefits of these products. The Mediterranean diet, known as one of the healthiest in the world, relies heavily on olive oil and balsamic vinegars, which are at the core of this dietary approach.

All of the olive oils sold by Saratoga Olive Oil Co. undergo laboratory testing to ensure they meet the highest standards for polyphenol, oleic acid, and free fatty acid (FFA) content, guaranteeing the consumer receives the freshest and healthiest EVOO available globally. The company takes pride in educating its customers about the remarkable health benefits of these timeless products.

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

Saratoga Olive Oil Co.'s mission is to provide consumers with the freshest EVOO. The company follows the olive harvest in both the northern and southern hemispheres to ensure customers receive the most recently produced and healthiest oils worldwide. Their motto, "The best olive oil is the freshest olive oil," reflects this commitment to quality and freshness.

The Saratoga Olive Oil Co. team loves their products and their customers. They take great pride in offering delicious ways to incorporate their oils, balsamics, sea salts, and spices into a wide range of dishes and occasions. From grilling and roasting to salad dressings and marinades, the Saratoga Olive Oil Co. products are versatile and enhance the flavors of any meal.

The company has also partnered with renowned chefs to develop a collection of over 300 custom recipes, showcasing the exceptional pairing of their products with various ingredients. Three standout recipes include Garlic Smashed Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes, Chocolate Cake with Blood Orange Olive Oil and Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar, and Baked Salmon with Coconut Crust.

Additionally, Saratoga Olive Oil Co. offers a unique product, the Baklouti Green Chili Olive Oil, made by combining one pound of organic EVOO with 1.6 pounds of fresh, whole Baklouti chilies from the Barbary Coast of North Africa. This rare and flavorful oil adds a spicy dimension to any dish.
