Founder’s Note

When my husband and I started to get into cooking, we expected to improve our well being and boost our confidence in the kitchen.

Instead, we got a little queasy. After eliminating likely culprits like cheese and bread, we believed - much to our surprise - that the cause was the olive oil we were using.

I did some research and quickly discovered the olive oil industry has had a history of problems and that not all olive oils are created equally: there are both good and bad quality products out there.

My personal experience inspired the idea for Brightland, which was born out of a desire for time-honored food production - and a deep belief in the land and what it provides.

My ancestors were salt farmers in South India; the land provided for them, and in turn they provided salt for people in the South. It’s a beautiful cycle when left untouched.

I believe in the California sun & soil, and the beautiful olives, grapes and fruit they yield. It’s my wish that our products provide abundant nourishment to you and the people you love for many breakfasts, lunches and dinners to come.
