Waichiro Hattori planted olives on April 19, 1942, after cultivating the hills of Ushimado. He said that olives are useful as food, medicine and lamp fuel. He established the Nippon Olive Co. on June 1, 1949, and released his first product: olive manon virgin oil (now olive manon olive oil for cosmetics). Currently, we sell more than 80 different food and cosmetic products and are selling at events and through mail-order, mainly at Ushimado Olive Garden.
Receiving an award is very encouraging because it proves that we did not do anything wrong. We will not be satisfied with this award and will continue our trial and error process to produce more delicious oil in the future.
