Danville olive oil retailer Nate Bradley wants you to try fresh olive oil

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:26:39 GMT

Sixteen years ago, Nate Bradley was working as a substitute teacher in his hometown of Castro Valley and preparing for a career in teaching, when his dad asked him to help out with the family olive oil company by hosting a demo at a local grocery store one day. He reluctantly said yes, but confesses, “I had no idea what I was doing.”That day changed everything.Veronica Foods is a century-old, family-run olive oil importing business that dates back to 1924, when Bradley’s great-grandfather, Salvatore Esposito, first opened its doors in New York City. The family moved the business to Oakland in the 1930s, and it remains the oldest continuously-owned olive oil company in the U.S. You may not have heard of it, because the company primarily does private label work for about 900 independent olive oil stores across the U.S., Bradley says.The family behind Amphora Nueva has been in the olive oil importing business for nearly 100 years.
