NEW YORK, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Beloved olive oil brand and pantry staple, Graza, today announced the on-shelf debut of its nitrogen-sealed "beer can" refills nationally in select Whole Foods Market stores, and online at www.graza.co. Graza's founders – Andrew Benin and Allen Dushi – knew that large-bulk containers were not ideal for maintaining olive oil quality as they invite rapid oxidation, but a quality refill option was necessary. Together, they set out to create a refillable option that maintained maximum integrity of the EVOO and is perfectly portioned for Graza's first-to-market squeeze bottles. From there, the idea for "beer can" refills was born.
