Behind the boards

Parija and Sakshi

Ace & Olive is run by sisters Parija and Sakshi, a former professional tennis player turned coach, and a tech professional with a creative eye, who discovered their shared passion for bringing people together through food that feels as good as it looks.

What began as a simple weekend hobby has evolved into a boutique charcuterie brand rooted in artistry, connection, and the joy of effortless hosting. From courts and code to cheese and crudités, every Ace & Olive creation is thoughtfully curated to celebrate life’s moments with warmth, flavor, and a touch of elegance.

The Evolution of Ace & Olive

The idea for this business began when Parija planned her daughter’s first birthday brunch. As a busy mom, she wanted something special yet effortless—and a grazing spread made hosting beautifully simple. That day inspired Ace & Olive: a way to bring people together through good food, gorgeous presentation, and easy entertaining.

After moving to San Jose, Parija brought her sister Sakshi on board. With her design flair and tech background, Sakshi shaped Ace & Olive’s visual identity and digital presence, helping the brand grow while staying true to its roots.
