Pompeian

With sustainability at the forefront of our mission, we’re proud to continue our efforts to champion biodiversity at our California-based farm, Sunrise Olive Ranch. Our latest achievement is reaching a 70% reduction in chemical treatments through a fish-based algae control system, strengthening our work towards our ESG goals.    At Pompeian, we’re on a mission to achieve Sustainably Grown® certification at all our farms around the world, and Sunrise Olive Ranch was our first. We are eager to continue the amazing work with SCS Global Services!

Today marks an important milestone for the Pompeian company and brand. Following a decade of successful partnership and growth, the shareholders of Pompeian have signed a letter of intent that transitions the balance of Pompeian’s ownership to the DCOOP Group of Spain, the world’s largest olive oil cooperative of more than 75,000 farmers. This evolution reflects the continued strength of a successful alliance that began in 2015 and facilitated our journey to becoming America’s number one olive oil brand. This next step allows Pompeian to remain proudly farmer owned, while strengthening our supply of the highest quality olive oil and enhancing our long-standing commitments to sustainability, quality and authenticity. Importantly, our day-to-day operations at our Baltimore headquarters facilities will continue as usual. With strong legacy leadership, an expanding world-class bottling facility, and world-class quality assurance labs, we – as the Olive Oil People of Pompeian — will continue to produce the highest quality olive oils and vinegars, in the place we have called home since 1906. We are grateful for our team here in Baltimore, our partners and customers for helping us earn the trust of our partners and farmers around the world. We look forward to this next chapter and continuing our important mission of helping people eat and live well.

We’re proud to partner once again with the Maryland Department of Commerce for the second cohort of the Maryland Innovation Lab! This initiative launched in 2023 as a pioneering public-private partnership with L Marks, the World Trade Center Institute and the Maryland DOC to draw entrepreneurial ventures from around the world to Maryland. As we have called Baltimore home for almost 120 years, we were eager to join and boost innovation for the state of Maryland. In collaboration with Baltimore Gas and Electric and Capital Logistics, this year’s Lab will focus on finding and implementing innovative solutions to help drive decarbonization and affordability. “We are excited to join the Maryland Innovation Lab on decarbonization and see it as a structured environment designed to ideate, prototype, and implement new solutions aimed at reducing or eliminating carbon emissions,” said Alex Blahus, Director of IT at Pompeian.

Same Pompeian, with a fresh new look 🫒   You told us and we listened! As a result of consumer feedback, we’re so excited to share the new Pompeian logo, a small but mighty update that reflects who we are today and where we’re headed. Being 100% Farmer Owned is something we are extremely proud of, and now you will find it right on our ribbon. While our look is evolving, our mission remains the same: make high quality olive oil more accessible to all. Our new logo brings a modern feel while honoring the legacy we have built together. Thank you for being a part of our journey! We can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Last week we had something BIG to celebrate. The Olive Oil People gathered for a Spring Cookout to mark the exciting launch of our new ad campaign, Joy Always Follows! Our Marketing team leveraged deep consumer insights to produce a joyful commercial and help consumers create an emotional connection to olive oil. From delicious bites served by incredible local vendors, like BricknFire Pizza Company, Tacos El Diablito, and Cream Cruiser LLC, to a high-energy performance by the Baltimore City College Marching Band, our cookout brought together the Pompeian family and the Baltimore community, the place we’ve called home since 1906. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and helped make the day a memorable one. Here’s to big ideas, spreading joy, and sharing the journey with our community!
