Our Products
Our olive oils are imported immediately following the "crush," thereby bringing you the freshest product--straight from the olive. We have freshly pressed traditional extra virgin olive oils from all over the world, that range from mild to robust. Our citrus fused olive oils are made by crushing the whole fruit with the olives to get intensely fresh flavors. Fresh herbs, spices, fruits, and vegetables are infused into specialty olive oils. All of our balsamics are of an exceptionally high quality from Modena, Italy, with wonderful natural flavors.
