Secolari olive oil and vinegar are only sourced from California producers. Why is this important for an oil and vinegar store? Well, because there’s a California Olive Oil Council, and many of our products are certified through the council! The goal of the COOC is to encourage consumers to use California olive oil because it contains healthy and fresh ingredients, which is essential if you’re cooking with it daily. We only source our products after meeting with the producer and confirming that they live up to our high olive oil store standards. Plus, we add all of our herbs and spices at the time of bottling, rather than after as many other retailers do. This helps maximize the flavor, creating a taste you’ll notice in any dish you use it in.
