O Olive Oil and Vinegar are a California-based olive oil and vinegar brand, producing all natural, award-winning, artisan olive oils and flavored vinegars. O products sell in major grocers across the country and online. Dan has been charged with increasing faltering engagement and improving online sales in North America, without the use of shopping ads.
