MillPress: Elevating Olive Oil from Grove to Kitchen

MillPress is redefining what it means to deliver premium olive oil at scale—without compromising on quality, transparency, or taste. Family-owned and proudly independent, MillPress blends deep agricultural roots in Spain with a U.S. headquarters in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to offer vertically integrated olive oil and vinegar programs designed for today’s top chefs, food retailers, and tasting room operators.

Founded by Tim Balshi and Soraya Aguilar over 25 years ago, MillPress began as a road-trip passion project and has grown into a trusted partner to some of the most respected names in food—from Michelin-starred restaurants to Whole Foods Market. Their vertically integrated model means they control every step, from harvest to bottling, ensuring unmatched freshness, traceability, and flavor.

For foodservice professionals, MillPress offers consistent quality, year-round availability, and oils with a story behind every bottle. For private-label and retail clients, they provide small-batch flexibility, low minimums, and a collaborative approach to crafting standout shelf-ready products.

Their Chelsea Market tasting room in New York City is a showcase of what’s possible when premium oil meets intentional curation—featuring exclusive lots, custom vinegars, and hands-on service.

Whether you’re building a branded olive oil program or looking for a kitchen staple with integrity, MillPress brings the very best of the grove to every table—with purpose, precision, and pride.

From the first cold press to the final pour, MillPress is committed to doing things right—even when no one’s watching.
