The problem

Genuinely excellent oil competing in the supermarket bulk aisle.

No direct channel — everything went through distributors at wholesale margin.

Founders were uncomfortable charging what the product was worth.

What we did

Repositioned around the estate and the harvest date, printed on every bottle.

Built a direct storefront with a subscription for the annual pressing.

Launched with a harvest-window campaign rather than an always-on one.

What happened

Direct channel reached 34% of revenue in its first year.

Retail price up 2.4× with volume up as well.

First harvest window sold out in nine days.
