Single-Varietal Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Our single-varietal extra virgin olive oils are the absolute best; you simply will not find matched quality in any of the big box grocery stores. These products are sourced from around the world from the countries of Italy, Australia, South Africa, Chile and Argentina.

In order to ensure freshness – and all of the health benefits that come with fresh extra virgin olive oil – our stock will change regularly, by season. If you don’t see your favorite type of extra virgin olive oil in our store, fear not! It will probably return in a few months. Just ask us and we would be happy to make a note to ensure that we order that variety when it becomes available again.

If you come to the store and you’re looking for fresh, ask us about which single-varietals we have in stock and take a taste!
