solar farm and bought land to construct a house in it. Tanuja Sanders recalled the incident that made her start the olive business. She said, “Some friends of ours, who are Italian, came for the housewarming and said, ‘Oh, it’d be so pretty if you lined the driveway with olive trees. So I ended up buying 2,500 olive trees and planting them, and that started the journey.”
Sanders also shared about the criticism that she received when she started the business. She said, “I’m of Indian background and a friend of ours made a funny comment like, ‘…Indians, what do they know about olives?’ “. She presented him with some of her Indian and Indo-Italian fusion table olives. Nobody ever questioned them again. She also shared about how her product earned more customers. She said, “They went wild, we started to win awards and everybody wanted them, and by 2013 we were producing 5,000 liters of oil.”
According to the report, the trees began yeilding fruits in a few years, and their Italian gardener taught Tanuja the process of manufacturing table olives. Sathya Olive Company grows nearly 30 tons of olives each year and eventually progressed and became a popular brand for their infused goods, which include the unusual yet popular garam masala and curry leaf mixes. The Sanders family deeply believe that Australian olive oil is the greatest in the world.
