Baklouti Green Chile Olive Oil
from $8.99

From the Barbary Coast of North Africa, this Tunisian Baklouti pepper is rare and unique to this region. This fused oil is the only example of this fruity and spicy green chili olive oil in the world.

Baklouti chili olive oil is made by combining fresh, early harvest organic olives with an almost equal ratio of fresh, whole green Baklouti chilies. The two, and only two, ingredients are then crushed together, mixed in the malaxer which fuses the fresh green essential oil of the pepper with the organic olive oil. Baklouti adds a savory, tantalizing kick to salsas, marinades, soups, grilled foods, vegetables and more.

Garlic Olive Oil
from $8.99

Bold, aromatic, and endlessly versatile, our oil is a must-have for garlic lovers. This robust infusion captures the savory essence of fresh garlic in every drop. Ideal for everyday cooking and elevated dishes alike, it brings deep, mouthwatering flavor to sautéed vegetables, roasted meats, grilled seafood, and more.

Use it in marinades, dressings, or sauces, or as a dairy-free replacement for butter over pasta, potatoes, or rice. Drizzle it over steaks before grilling, stir into mashed potatoes, or simply enjoy it as a dip for fresh bread with a sprinkle of herbs.

Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic
from $8.99

Bright, zesty, and beautifully aromatic, our Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic captures the sunny essence of Sicilian lemons—less bitter and slightly sweeter than typical lemons, with a crisp, clean acidity and floral undertones.

Lemon Olive Oil
from $7.99

Our Fused, early harvest, Chilean green lemon (Eureka Green Limonato) was made by crushing green Arbequina olives alongside estate grown green Eureka Lemons in April!  The result is an incredibly complex, pungent fusion. By harvesting unripe lemons and olives grown side by side, we achieved maximum green lemon aroma in this powerfully fragrant and floral oil.  Super concentrated, a little bit goes a long way! We firmly believe that such precision makes our April 2025 production entirely unique from anything else out there.

Pairs beautifully with Peach White Balsamic, Honey Ginger, Suyo Cucumber, Tangerine, Wild Blueberry, Strawberry Rosé, or Watermelon Rosé Balsamic for everything from vibrant vinaigrettes and seafood marinades to refreshing spritzers and fruit-forward glazes.

Basil Olive Oil
from $7.99

Fresh, green and herbal. Basil and olive oil are two integral ingredients in Mediterranean cooking and it was just obvious to us that the two would be wonderful together.Try it on a summer salad or caprese salad and let your taste buds travel to the shores of the Mediterranean.Mix with our Peach White Balsamic, Strawberry Balsamic, or Lemongrass Mint White Balsamic for an outstanding vinaigrette made for a spinach salad.
