Beyond the Olive

Beyond the Olive is a Southern California customer favorite and recognized as a premier reliable source for quality California Extra Virgin Olive Oils, vinegar and other delectable products. As part of the Los Angeles artisan food movement we strive to not only contribute exceptional products, but also support other local food innovators. Our values are simple: Integrity in everything we do, provide quality products and service with commitment to community, and build strong relationships with local business owners… Values we're sure you share. With A Gold Medal at last year's New York International Olive Oil Competition, five medals at the Los Angeles International Olive Oil Competition, being the ONLY North American Olive Oil to medal at Toronto’s Olive d’Or competition, and being named "One of the 10 best places in the World to buy EVOO", customers have grown to love and trust this local, family business, founded in 2009. We received California Olive Oil Council certification this year for our extra virgin olive oils. This designation means our oils have been lab tested as well as tasted by a panel of experts. If it means anything to the consumer, it should designate that the oils are “fresh”! We don’t sell anything older than 16 months from harvest. Our balsamic vinegars start with a traditional thick base, then we add our own California fruit purees. Our wine vinegars are made by friends who run an organic farm near San Luis Obispo, CA. We continue to seek out the best products – depending on the harvest – we have the flexibility and integrity to source from multiple farms for the best flavor profiles. That means our products will change from year to year and sometimes even month to month. We are constantly tasting and evaluating oils and vinegars to bring you the best. We also produce our own tapenade, balsamic nuts, dips and sauces in house. We are in stores throughout the United States!
