Paul Karoyan, President - Paul started Olive Branch & Grape Vine 5 years ago because of his passion for good quality healthy foods. Throughout his travels while working in Banking and Finance for over 20 years he had access to local farms in Europe, Middle East, North Africa, South America and California. Impressed by the small family owned businesses, he wanted to share their products with his family and friends back home. Olive Branch & Grape Vine was created to customize each flavored Olive and Balsamic into one brand, under one roof. He spend two years researching and testing while earning a certificate as an Oiliologist. Aside from seeing first hand the health benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, he is thrilled when others share the joy of the same benefit.
