Flour & Olive was launched in December 2023 by Estelle Sohne, a former attorney and stay-at-home mother with a love of baking. American and Ghanaian with a French husband and multi-cultural children, she celebrates diversity and our common humanity through her line of international olive oil cake mixes. 

Within months of launching, Flour & Olive won the Specialty Food Association’s highly coveted sofi™ Gold Award in the Baking Mixes category, also known as the “Oscars” of the specialty food industry.  The company has been featured in multiple press outlets, including Cuisine Noir, the Specialty Food Association, The Cook's Cook and Food & Wine which named the brand as one of 2025’s Biggest Food and Dining Trend Predictions. We are also one of the Specialty Food Associations Top 2025 Food Trends and Trend Hunter's Top 100 Lifestyle Trends.

The company produces four premium, healthier cake mixes – Almond (with almond flour), Chocolate, Ginger and Vanilla – made from unbleached and whole wheat flour and designed to be baked with a simple method and extra virgin olive oil.  Their newest product is the Flour & Olive Gift Set—an elegantly packaged collection of their line of mixes thoughtfully designed to transport you into an immersive cake experience from the moment you open it.  

Flour & Olive’s logo, which is composed of interconnected olive tree flowers and olives, was inspired by the Ghanaian Akwaaba symbol of hospitality meaning "welcome." In that spirit, the company sets its customers on a joyful cake journey that transports their senses all over the world through its interactive online cake map featuring over 70 recipes from more than 45 countries. The cake mixes and recipes produce delicious cakes crafted to evoke natural beauty and the tastes and smells of the countries they are from inspiring feelings of home, nostalgia and wanderlust.
