Where Every Drop Remembers Its Roots

The Gullah Geechee people are the descendants of enslaved West and Central Africans who built a distinct and resilient culture along the Sea Islands and coastal plains of the American South and Eastern Seaboard.

Isolated by geography, they preserved African languages, spiritual practices, and — crucially — a culinary tradition of extraordinary depth. Their cooking was rooted in the land: what grew, what was pressed, what was fermented, what was slow-cooked over fire. Peanuts were central to that tradition.

Gullah Table Oil is a direct descendant of that legacy — brought to life in Maryland, and made available to tables across the country for the first time.

Cold-pressing extracts oil at low temperatures, preserving the delicate flavor compounds and beneficial polyphenols that heat-extraction destroys. It's slower, it yields less per batch, and it requires more care — which is exactly why we do it.

Each batch is pressed within 48 hours of harvest, bottled by hand, and labeled with the farm name and press date. No additives. No preservatives. No blending with cheaper oils.

What you taste in the bottle is exactly what grew in the ground — nothing added, nothing taken away.
