The Olivelle Story:

At the heart of Olivelle lies a story of passion, family, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Founded by Brie Thompson and her mother, Michelle, our journey began in the kitchen, where some of their fondest memories were created. For Brie, these early moments with her mother, a teacher and a lover of creating recipes, sparked a lifelong passion for food. This shared love for culinary creativity became the foundation of Olivelle.

After completing her education in 2006, Brie returned to her hometown of Bozeman, Montana, where she and Michelle embarked on a mission to bring something unique to the local community. With a desire to create an unparalleled retail experience, they opened their flagship store, offering a range of high-quality olive oils and vinegar. However, their excitement was tempered by the realization that the market was saturated with subpar products, often masked with artificial flavors to compensate for inferior quality.

Undeterred, Brie and Michelle decided to take matters into their own hands, beginning with one of the industry’s first high-quality, single estate extra virgin olive oils. Their commitment to excellence quickly paid off, as customers instantly recognized the superior taste of our offerings. This success set the tone for the brand’s future, establishing a legacy of crafting exceptional products that are as delicious as they are authentic.

Feel The Difference: Why Choose Our Olive Oils?

• Single Estate Excellence

Not all olive oils are equal. However, we believe that the best olive oil comes from family farms dedicated to producing single-estate, early-harvest oils. Our partnerships with these farms ensure that every bottle of olive oil is a product of passion, tradition, and meticulous care.

Each of our olive oils is harvested, pressed, and bottled on the same family-owned estates where the olives are grown. This single-estate approach means that the olives are pressed within hours of being picked, preserving their natural flavors and aromas. This commitment to quality is evident in every drop of our oil, which is why our customers trust Olivelle to deliver only the finest extra virgin olive oils.

• Early Harvest, Rich Flavor

Our olive oils are harvested before they are ripe, early in the season when the olives are at their best flavor, offering a perfect balance of green, peppery, fruity, and creamy notes. This early harvest ensures our oils are rich in polyphenols, naturally occurring antioxidants that contribute to their robust flavor and health benefits. With each bottle of Olivelle olive oil, you’re not just getting an ingredient; you’re getting a functional food that can have a positive impact on your health, providing a source of monounsaturated fats and essential vitamins like A, D, and E.

A World of Flavor

Our selection of olive oils takes you on a journey across the Mediterranean. From the mineral-rich hills of Tuscany with our Il Cavallino Extra Virgin Olive Oil to the sun-kissed groves of Seville with our Seville Extra Virgin Olive Oil, each variety offers a unique taste of its region. Whether it’s the robust, peppery finish of our Mount Egaleo oil from Greece or the harmonious balance of flavors in our Fantoia oil from Sicily, our olive oils are a celebration of the land and the traditions that cultivate them.

Our journey has been one of passion, perseverance, and a dedication to quality that has never wavered. Today, with over 150 products crafted with the same care and attention to detail as our very first olive oil, Olivelle continues to inspire chefs and home cooks alike. Our recent rebranding is a reflection of our evolution, a celebration of our story, and a promise of more exciting culinary adventures to come.
