Early Life and Education

Savory was raised on a small farm in rural Zimbabwe where he learned how to utilize indigenous plant species for both food and medicine, studying natural law and theology in addition to learning traditional wisdom as part of conserving nature and restoring land. He later came to understand its value for conservation efforts as well as land restoration initiatives.

Olive oil is an indispensable addition to any kitchen, providing versatile culinary applications and versatile everyday use. Mild olive oils are suitable for daily use in salad dressings, sauteing vegetables and even dipping bread!

Pay careful consideration to the label of any olive oil, as its quality can depend on how it was produced. A seal from the California Olive Oil Council denotes quality crafted with old world methods and practices.

Savory Olive in Jacksonville, Florida offers an interactive and educational olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting experience, featuring 30 ultra premium, non-GMO extra virgin olive oils (Gluten Free, Kosher) from Modena Italy as well as over 40 aged balsamic vinegars (also Gluten Free & Kosher).

This company is also an ideal destination for those living with food allergies. All oils offered through their stores are tested to detect possible allergic reactions such as skin irritation, gastrointestinal distress and itching – as well as pesticides and fungi contamination. Customers can even request that their jar be inspected by one of their certified technicians who will ensure it’s both clean and safe before consumption.

Achievement and Honors

Yanni’s Savoury Olive has won multiple awards for their premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil and aged balsamic vinegar products, which have been recognized by experts in gourmet food, confectionery and specialized beverages.

Farm uses a fully integrated, eco-friendly production system. Olives are processed on-site using an advanced Pieralisi press while electricity is generated through biodigester power generation and recycled through an in-house water purification system.

Yanni’s is well known for their award-winning oils, but they also offer a delicious range of gluten-free, plant-based and sugar-free savory olive snacks that make an excellent accompaniment. Recently they introduced Freestyle Snacks into North American markets which combine high-quality olives with healthy ingredients in convenient pouch packaging for convenient snacking on-the-go!

Personal Life

Olives can be filled with gourmet ingredients or simply sliced and used as salad toppings or ingredients in savory dishes. Olives can also be soaked in water to create tapenade, mixed with other flavorful ingredients to form dips, and roasted or barbecued to add an appealing twist to soups, sandwiches and entrees.

Olive trees thrive in Mediterranean climates and produce an array of fruit. Harvest occurs between October and January; salt-cured olives may be water-cured or both options can be applied, depending on what variety they are.

Top quality olive oil should have a grassy and green aroma with notes of bitterness and pepper, with mild fruity and citrusy tastes that don’t overpower each other. Any olive oil with strong rancid odor should be avoided immediately.

Net Worth

Roasted Garlic Olive Oil is the ideal complement for pasta, roasted vegetables, breads and barbecued or grilled meats. Pairs perfectly with our Fig, Jalapeno and Lemon Balsamic Vinegars!

Quality olive oils should have an artichoke or green, earthy aroma with a slightly bitter, peppery taste that’s free from rancid odors that resemble old peanut butter, clear coloration and an appealing fruity aroma – and that is exactly what savory olive offers in its selection of small-batch artisan oils on the market!
