Founded in 1982, Olive Garden is owned by Darden Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE:DRI), the world's largest company-owned and operated full-service restaurant company. With more than 800 restaurants, more than 92,000 employees and more than $3.5 billion in annual sales, Olive Garden is the leading restaurant in the Italian casual dining segment. Italy serves as the inspiration for the brand, from its menus to its award-winning wine list to the Tuscan farmhouse design of its restaurants. Most of all, Olive Garden is inspired by the warmth and genuine hospitality of the Italian people, as well as the importance of family in their culture. This passion for Italy led to the establishment of Olive Garden's Culinary Institute of Tuscany in 1999. More than 1,200 Olive Garden managers and team members have been welcomed to the CIT as part of an internal cultural immersion program designed to inspire, motivate and educate team members.

We got our start by pioneering new ways of cultivating and harvesting olives in California to make the highest quality extra virgin olive oil at affordable prices. We've developed our own ranches as well as helped family farmer producers throughout Northern California develop farm acreage into olive orchards using sustainable production methods every step of the way. In addition to our California farmer partners, we proudly partner with the best extra virgin olive oil producers in some of the best olive growing regions around the world. Our global partners share our values of sustainable farming practices, premium production methods, and state-of-the-art storage. All our extra virgin olive oils are certified by Applied Sensory and our California lines additionally uphold the Olive Oil Commission of California (OOCC) standards, one of the strictest in the world. In 2015, we acquired Lucini Italia, a brand of premium extra virgin olive oils, artisanal vinegars and organic tomato sauces handcrafted in Italy. The addition of Lucini Italia launched a new chapter for us to deliver premium foods beyond extra virgin olive oil.
