Texan olive oil is an ingredient worshipped by home chefs, taking over our kitchens. And rightly so.
An essential pantry staple, olive oil adds a last-minute pop to your risottos, dips, salad dressings, and marinades. No wonder it’s become almost as important as salt and pepper and with health benefits, too! If you didn’t know that Texas is also home to an abundance of homegrown olive farms, then read on. The next time you want to indulge in some grills, risottos, and pasta, why not add one of these farm-fresh 100% Texas olive oils to your grocery list?
Bella Vista Ranch Texan Olive Oil
The olive orchard on Bella Vista Ranch is home to Texas Olive Oil, brimming with freshness. Thanks to the founder’s wealth of experience, you can learn about olive farming and oil history. Producing cold-pressed domestic extra virgin olive oil since 2001, they offer a range of blended fresh olive oils, infused olive oils, and flavorful dipping oils. Using their frantoio (olive mill), the Bella Vista Ranch creates exquisitely handcrafted olive oils using only virgin olives (What wine goes well with olives?) and fresh spring water. If you have time, take one of their informative orchard tours or indulge in a spot of wine tasting. ​They also sell olive trees of different ages and sizes for you to decorate your home!
Vogel Orchard's Glorious Olive Oil
Famous for their fresh peaches, preserves, and sweet treats, Vogel Orchards also dabbles in producing olive oil. They only began bottling their Beladi Tree Extra Virgin Olive Oil in 2015 after visitors fell in love with its smooth, savory flavor. Delightful as a dip for freshly baked bread or a light salad dressing, this olive oil is versatile and pairs well with everyday dishes. This truly is one of the best Texan olive oils out there!
Pick up a bottle or buy the Olive Oil and Bread Dipper Set if you feel indulgent. They even have a gift set with an 8.5 oz bottle of oil, an oil decanter, a dipping dish, and a dipping mix. These sell out fast, so get hold of them while you can!
Texas Hill Country Olive Oil Company
