About Carter & Cavero

Welcome to Carter & Cavero, Old World Olive Company, created by four friends united in our commitment to create a retail concept that embraces a tasteful, authentic, healthy way of living. We are--Chris Ortiz, Chris Wall, Sam Berg and Cesar Colliga. We are unlikely partners--one born into a long line of olive growers in Spain, one from the world of advertising and marketing in New York City, one a renowned olive oil taster from Madrid, and one a lawyer from New Jersey. Our common bond is a desire to create a business that stands for everything that is not artificial, mass-produced, common or mainstream. Starting with a rare offering of extra virgin and whole fruit fused olive oils grown and pressed in special mills in Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Australia and California, Carter & Cavero extends the olive experience through a unique environment of olive-related products for cooking, health, home and beauty.
Carter & Cavero was established at the end of 2007, in the charming town of Red Bank, New Jersey. We opened our doors just before the holiday season offering a unique olive oil tasting experience in a unique shopping environment. In an airy gallery-like space lined with light wooden shelves supporting utilitarian metal containers with spigots for dispensing a wide range of oils and vinegars, we allow the customer to explore and discover their own favorite blend. Once the oil or vinegar is chosen the store we pour it into one of Carter & Cavero’s handsome black custom-etched bottles that are then capped and sealed. This guarantees one of the most important qualities of a good olive oil --freshness.
