Maplewood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil & Bourbon Barrel Aged Balsamic

Here’s the truth: Most grocery store oils and balsamic are old, bland, and low quality. And way back in 2006, we noticed something else! Everyone was masking poor-quality olive oil and balsamic with overpowering flavors so no one could tell the difference.

That’s actually why Olivelle got started.

We believed something better was possible: Fresh, premium Oil & Balsamic paired with natural, real-deal flavors that actually elevated the product and not covered it up.

People told us over and over, “That’ll never work. You should use cheap oil / balsamic for flavored blends.” But we knew better. And guess what? People could taste the difference. Once they tried our pours, they were hooked because fresh just tastes better. And once you taste the good stuff, there’s no going back.

Here’s how we stand out today:

• Fresh first press oils and carefully aged balsamics - never old stock or watered down mistakes.
• Real natural flavors, never fake or overpowering
• Sourced with care from small-lot farms around the world.
• Full transparency with harvest dates and ingredient quality.
• Flavor you will actually crave, not just a cover-up.

No, our oils and balsamics are not certified organic... but that doesn’t mean they’re anything less than exceptional!

We partner with small, family-run farms around the world (including the heart of Modena, Italy for our balsamics) who are deeply committed to sustainable, natural, and environmentally friendly practices. Becoming certified organic is often costly and complicated, especially for small producers who are already going above and beyond in caring for their crops.

At Olivelle, we care more about what’s inside the bottle than a label on the outside. Every oil and balsamic is thoughtfully sourced, freshly pressed or carefully aged, and rigorously tested for purity, flavor, and quality. You’ll taste the difference in every drop!

P.S. - Did you know that our founder, Brie, was the 12th person to be certified in olive oil tasting under the International Olive Oil Savantes, which is one of the few organizations that recognize individuals for demonstrating their expertise in tasting olive oils. Brie personally tastes all of our olive oil to ensure it is up to our standard of quality with zero defects in flavor and aroma.

Yes, all of our oils and vinegars are naturally gluten-free and vegan. We don’t use any animal products or gluten in our infusions, so you can enjoy them with peace of mind. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-sensitive, or just looking to eat clean, you’re good to go!

Bonus: They're also non-GMO and free of artificial additives.

While dark bottles can help protect oils or balsamic from sunlight, it’s the way you store them that matters. A cool, dark spot is key. Plus, we pour every order fresh so there’s no need to worry about how long it’s been sitting around or how it’s been handled like at the grocery store. And let’s be honest, those crystal-clear bottles let you see that gorgeous olive oil and balsamic in all its glory!

Keep your bottles in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cupboard. Heat, light, and air are the enemies of fresh olive oil in particular! Make sure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to keep the flavor locked in.

Avoid: Storing near your stove or in direct sunlight.
