O Olive Oil

General information

O OLIVE OIL is the premier producer of California specialty olive oils and wine vinegars. O was the first in this country to crush organic citrus with olives to produce our signature line of oils. Our products are sold in gourmet, natural food and specialty stores in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Latin America, and China.

1n 1995 Greg Hinson, co- founder and president, combined his unusual passion for citrus and healthy eating by crushing whole organic citrus with fresh California Mission olives to create an unparalleled new product category—the extra virgin citrus olive oil. These oils are neither infused nor flavored after pressing as is common in the industry.

In 1997 Hinson turned this same respect for simple natural processes to hand crafting varietal wine vinegars. O Olive Oil is one of the few remaining vinegar makers in this country using the old world Orleans method of natural aging in wood barrels rather than mechanically force-aging the vinegars. The difference is remarkable. In 2003 Cook’s Illustrated named our O Zinfandel Vinegar, “ overall winner among gourmet brands, “ touting its “ distinctly earthy, fruity flavor.”

Our products have been featured repeatedly in the New York Times and in top food magazines including Food and Wine, Gourmet, and Saveur, which selected our O Ruby Grapefruit Olive Oil to its prestigious list of 100 international favorites. Oprah calls them “terrific oils and vinegars” and has featured them both on her show and in her magazine. O has also been featured on the Food Network, Top Chef, and ABC Good Morning America.

O products are a favorite of home cooks and professional chefs alike. Our vinegars and oils are in the kitchens of Jacques Pepin, Charlie Trotter, Michael Mina, Sarah Moulton, Wolfgang Puck, Charlie Palmer, Cat Cora, and Tom Colicchio among others.

The food industry agrees. O Olive Oil has been recognized with 17 awards at the annual International Fancy Food Show in New York City, including Outstanding New Product, Outstanding Food Gift, and Outstanding Design.
