Their story
Graza was started in Brooklyn in January 2022 by Andrew Benin and Allen Dushi. The idea was simple: make good extra virgin olive oil something you use generously every day, not a bottle you save for special occasions.
The oil itself comes from Jaén in southern Spain, the heart of Picual olive country. Graza began selling online and quickly moved onto grocery shelves, known for its green squeeze bottles and later its nitrogen-sealed refill cans.
How it's made
Graza works with more than 70 independent farms and mills around Jaén and keeps each farm's oil as its own lot rather than blending them together. Drizzle is pressed from early-harvest Picual olives for a bold, peppery finishing oil, while Sizzle uses riper mid-season fruit for a milder cooking oil.
Our featured pick
Sizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil (750ML)
$18.00
Before you say “evoo isn’t for cooking,†read this: thanks to the super stable picual olive, sizzle was born for the heat. It’s still 100% extra-virgin, but made with mid-harvest olives that give it.
The main difference is we don't blend them all together, which is a common practice.
Why we carry them
We keep a pair of Graza bottles by the stove for a reason: Sizzle for cooking, Drizzle for finishing, and the squeeze top makes both easy to use.
