Thank you for stopping by.  We hope your visit will start an appreciation for a rare treat--real extra virgin olive oil.  And it truly is a rare treat.  Estimates are that less than 10 percent of all the olive oil produced worldwide each year can really be called "extra virgin."

All Things Olive features California-produced extra virgin olive oils that have earned the yearly seal of the California Olive Oil Council.  With the term "extra virgin" currently undefined in the United States, the Council's seal is your only assurance that what is labeled 'extra virgin' really is 'extra virgin.'  Along with our extra virgin olive oils, we also offer citrus-flavored and herb-infused olive oils, a wide selection of tapenades, and some wonderful wine and apple cider vinegars produced through the handcrafted 'Orleans' method--all from California. 

We welcome you to tour our web site and find out what makes an olive oil an extra virgin olive oil.  But perhaps most importantly, we invite you to learn how the type of olive--and the time of year that olive is pressed--will determine an oil's flavor—from mild and delicate, to olive'y' and peppery, or fragrant and fruity, all the way up to leafy green and 'grassy'.  And once you know that, you will be confident in choosing the right olive oil to complement any dish you are cooking, baking, bar-b-queing, sautéing, or simply dipping.

All Things Olive - ONLINE

We are pleased to announce the opening of All Things Olive - ONLINE.  You can find our store under the Our Products tab on this site.  We have included several of our most popular products and will gradually add new offerings.  We use the USPS's priority flat rate pricing to calculate shipping charges.  We assess each order to determine how to best deliver and our shipping fees have been adjusted to accommodate large orders that may ship in more than one box.  If you have a multiple item order and live in the DC area, please give us a call or send us an email as it may be more economical and efficient for us to arrange delivery directly to you.  We remain committed to getting the best oils to you in the most economical fashion.  In the event we are able to get your order to you within the same time frame--but at a lower rate--we will refund you the difference.  Please let us know if you have any suggestions or preferences--we'd like to hear from you!
