Olive~Me strives to offer unique Extra-Virgin Olive Oils, Gourmet Olive Oils, Balsamic Vinegars, Tapenades and Beauty Products derived from Extra Virgin Olive Oils from all over the world. Each of our lovely olive oils and balsamic vinegars are hand poured/bottled, hand labeled, fresh corked and foil sealed by us!!!!
You will also notice a special seal of quality on our very select Extra Virgin Olive Oils certified by the California Olive Oil Council to ensure that our customers can purchase with 100% confidence that their product has been fully lab tested and sensory evaluated by the council and it is 100% extra virgin. We also bring in select award winning olive oils from producers around the world.
While living and travelling in Europe and other countries of the world, I was privileged to experience the many ways in which each culture works with its Extra-Virgin Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars. It has always left me with the desire to open my own tasting room in my own country. It is truly a cultural adventure to savor these flavored olive oils and vinegars in a setting such as this. It opens one up to an entire new world of flavours and aromas that make the possibility of blends and the combinations with food endless. With that in mind, I decided that a perfect location to begin with a “Tasting Room” would be where I live, in London, Ontario, a cosmopolitan city with fabulous gourmet restaurants and culinary schools. I have also taken the Master Of Milling Course at UC Davis in California to learn how to mill olive oil and sensory evaluate it for defects.
We have a passion for all things olive. Our tasting rooms are unique in that we maintain the tradition of bringing in the freshest available extra virgin olive oil and the finest balsamic vinegar. We source artisan producers so everyone can enjoy international cuisine in their homes. We source all of our olive oils ourselves directly with the producer, not third party or through third party vendors. This ensures our producers receive the most financial benefit for their product and ensures economic sustainability for themselves, their families and their business.
We continually strive to ensure the freshest oils and most aged balsamic vinegars are represented in our Tasting Room.
Explore the infinite possibilities of combining our ultra-premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars before even having purchased them. Let us take your favourite oils and vinegars and blend them into your own favourite blend. If you do not choose to be that adventurous then we can also offer you pre-bottled flavours that you can choose from.
Come with me on a world tour of fine Extra-Virgin Olive Oils, Gourmet Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars that will tantalize your palate like never before. Let me bring a new perspective to your home-cooking, entertaining and special events.
