About Us
11 Olives is a Seattle-based, family-owned company crafting small-batch olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Founded by Rick Martin in 2010, the company was born from a passion for high-quality, flavorful oils and a desire to bring a more local, sustainable approach to a traditionally imported product.
With a focus on bold, clean flavors and fresh ingredients, 11 Olives quickly earned a reputation across the Pacific Northwest. Their handcrafted products are sold at regional farmers markets, specialty shops, and through their website — offering everything from full-size bottles to sample-friendly mini options. The company has also received multiple national and international tasting awards for quality and taste, solidifying its place in the local artisan food scene.

Practices
While 11 Olives doesn’t grow olives in Washington, the company partners closely with small California growers who prioritize sustainability and, when possible, organic practices. By keeping its supply chain domestic and tight-knit, 11 Olives minimizes environmental impact and maintains greater control over the quality of its ingredients.
All bottling and infusions are done by hand in Seattle, ensuring freshness, consistency, and a personal touch in every product. This approach reflects the company’s commitment to artisan methods, local collaboration, and environmentally conscious practices.
