Welcome to All Things Olive!

When it comes to extra virgin olive oil, real and fresh are what you want.  Only real and fresh extra virgin olive oil can complement a vine-ripened tomato or a warm baguette fresh from the oven.  And only real and fresh extra virgin olive oil can give you all the healthful benefits you're expecting from olive oil.

We're amazed by how many people have never tasted the real deal!  "Wow! So that's what olive oil tastes like!" is what we hear most.

As we begin our ninth year, we're now at farmers markets in Maryland and Washington, DC.  In 2012, we were honored to be invited to join the new UNION Market in northeast DC--Washington's new destination for foodies!

Unlike the olive oil shops that seem to be popping up everywhere today, All Things Olive won’t fill your bottle from a stainless steel bulk oil tank or 'fusti'.  And because we don't, you'll know who really made your oil, when they pressed it, and where.

To offer you real and fresh extra virgin olive oil, we've sought out small, family-owned farms in northern and central California.  Each is as passionate about creating real and fresh extra virgin olive as we are about selling it.  Take a moment to meet our California olive oil producers.

We also only focus on California olive oil because the California Olive Oil Council—an independent third party—is there to certify which oils produced in the state are really, truly extra virgin.  In a food category without standards—or even definitions—that's critical.  We're also proud of being the first East Coast member of the Council.

Take a moment to explore our site.  Discover how real and fresh extra virgin olive oil is made and why it's such a rare, delicious treat.  Estimates are that of all the olive produced worldwide each year, less than 10 percent is really extra virgin.

We also have some interesting news and recipes featuring olive oil for you.
