Over a century of family, craft, and the world’s finest olive oil. Est. Lucca, Italy—late 1800s.
We’re proud to call Baltimore home. To demonstrate our devotion and commitment to the people of Baltimore, we launched The Olive Branch Project in 2015 to help members of the community Eat and Live Well.
Established in 2015, The Olive Branch Project empowers Baltimore’s youth, offering local schools and children’s organizations the opportunity to visit Pompeian’s headquarters, where they are immersed in a creative exploration into the world of olive oil. From healthy and educational activities to a full tour of the bottling facility and lab, plus an interactive olive oil tasting, the program provides kids with the age-appropriate information on healthy eating they’ll need to grow and develop through their formative years and beyond. Following the tour, children receive a healthy meal and their own bottle of olive oil to take home. Contact us to schedule a visit for your organization!
Over the years, The Olive Branch Project has expanded to further our mission of helping others Eat and Live Well. Through The Olive Branch Project, Pompeian focuses on impacting our community, both internally and externally. We host annual back-to-school and winter coat drives, holiday gift giving in the local community, Thanksgiving meal sponsorships and more! Externally, we partner closely with non-profit organizations to support their efforts to help our communities thrive.

Pompeian has been named a repeat winner of Progressive Grocer’s Impact Awards in 2021 and 2023 for our work in Community Service and Local Impact. Recognized as part of an elite group of companies making a difference in nine environmental, social and governance areas, we are honored to be recognized for our strong ties and work in the Baltimore community. With a mission to help people Eat, Live and Feel Better, this award highlights how our efforts go beyond category leading work in the olive oil aisle, and into the communities and people who make our Baltimore-based business possible.
At Pompeian, we know that healthy habits start young, which is why we prioritize education and hands-on programming with children in the Baltimore community. Recently, we became a sponsor for Taste Wise Kids (TWK), a Baltimore-based organization that offers children fun ways to learn about food and inspire a lifetime of positive, healthy eating habits. Through this partnership, we are honored to help educate more than 1,000 students about healthy food every year!
In 2024, Pompeian became an active member of the Maryland Green Registry, furthering our dedication to sustainable practices in the community. The Maryland Green Registry promotes and recognizes sustainable practices, helping businesses and other organizations set and meet their own goals on the path to sustainability. Our mission is to identify, prevent and control the environmental impacts of Pompeian’s activities.
