Guest Reviews
“I have used your products for years, oils and body butters. I live in Arizona one of the driest climates in the US, and want to comment on the lavender Olive butter (my favorite) I have extremely sensitive skin and for years now I have been using your body butter not just on my arms and legs but on my face and neck at night as well. I am almost 60 and people think I’m in my mid-forties, partially due to your product and the way it hydrates and softens my facial and neck skin. I also use it as a hair Pomade because it makes my hair shiny, holds it softly, does not make me break out if it gets on my face like other hair products, and rinses out easily. I think you should promote this as more than just a body butter. Keep on making your wonderful products.” – Normand
“Delicious spreads, wonderful olive oils and vinegars. One of my favorite spots in Old Town.” – Meredith
“I would like to extend my thanks for your role in keeping agriculture alive and well. Your products resonate perfection. And knowing that your farm is family owned warms my heart and makes the oils, and oil mixtures all the more tasty. I am proud to use your products to enhance the flavors of the many dishes I prepare for my family and friends. In fact, I specifically ordered the “Just Dress It” for my salad for our Derby Day celebration tomorrow, as I was out! From our family to the Temecula OOC family, we send wishes for a prosperous year and good health to all.” – Audra
“A must visit spot if you are in the area for wine tasting or whatever other reason. Incredible varieties of local olive oil and vinegars. Picked up many bottles for cooking as well. Became addicted to this place after visiting the one in San Diego.” – Neal
“Staff is knowledgeable, courteous and seem genuinely happy to see you.” – Dana
“The Jalapeno EVOO is so good!!” – Patricia
“YUM! We tasted some oil and vinegar combinations that were outstanding. The stuffed olives looked really great, but looking to keep sodium down, passed. Herb & Garlic combo offered best option. If you’re a fan of O&V now is the time to check it out.” – Peggy
“Not just olive oil to eat but a wide variety of soaps and body creams. Very unique and of course great service.” – Richard
“We all love cooking with your olive oils, the body butters are AMAZING, and my husband doesn’t like any other lip balm but yours.” – Jeannette
“After visiting my family in San Diego and then stopping into your store in Old Town, I was hooked! I love olive oil and yours is the best. Even when not ordering for myself or friends here in Denver, I ask family in SD to send me bottles for Birthdays and Holidays. Thank you for all that you do.” – Gretchen
“If you had told me 6 months ago I’d even bother rating an olive oil product or company I would have bet $$$$ I wouldn’t. My wife and I stumbled on this great store tucked into the northwest corner of Old Town as it was the only place in 20 years we hadn’t ventured into. Nancy took us under her arm and explained the benefits of olive oil and vinegar. Then, the taste testing started. 6 bottles later that we purchased were consumed during lockdown. We are hooked! Our new supplies arrived in a wooden box that was beautiful. This is a wonderful product and a classy company with delightful employees. Enjoy!” – Clark and Leslie
“Such a great store snugged amongst art galleries. It has a well stocked choice of olive oils, vinegars, soaps and olives. The products are grown on their own property and very good quality. The display are very tastefully done. You can taste the olive oils, vinegars and the very friendly staff members explain the texture, taste and flavors of each item. Their items are a great choice as a gourmet experience or as a hostess gift for a party. They wrap each bottle nicely. The price is not cheap but you are getting a gourmet item. I will keep coming back to this store.”
“A fun place to visit and sample a variety of olive oils and vinegars. The quality and flavors are the best you will find. A fun and healthy way to bring more flavor and variety to food. We are hooked.” – Danene
“Awesome staff. Their tasting bar was open and I was able to try the oils, vinegars, and blend to choose personalized gift sets. All were delicious!” – Paris
“This is a very cute shop. Not only do they do free olive oil and vinegar tastings but they teach you how to do two with each other as well. They bake bread in the shop and also sell olive oil body products. The best part was that they have to-go baskets ready If you need to pop in go grab a gift for any occasion. I found myself joining the olive oil and vinegar club today. I was told they do quarterly shipping for this specific tier of a club. I’m very excited to see what comes in my shipment. You can grab your orders from the shop if you are local but if not like myself three is a $12.50 shipping fee. Unless you order $100 worth of products. Then shipping is free. Customer service was impeccable and everyone I came across was not only pleasant but knowledgeable on all of the products in the store. If I’m in temecula again I will definitely return to this shop.” – Angela
“There really is a difference in olive oil! The staff here is knowledgeable and helpful in deciding from their wide selection. You can get help with pairings which is great if you’re just starting out or experimenting with higher quality oil. Don’t just spray some PAM in that pan, get some good oil and you’ll be surprised at the flavors that you can create.” – Jarrod
“Love, love their olive oil & olive oil products, superb tasting & high quality! I especially love the flavors of their trio pack of olive oil-regular, garlic, and citrus orange-Yum! Even the bottles are beautiful!” – June
“We visited your store in Temecula after reading all about California olive oil. We have told friends about how neat and cool your store is. We gave a friend a gift of 3 different products and she raved about how much she loved your olive oil. We will keep on ordering from you since we are now addicted. At least it is a healthy addiction. WE really appreciate your quality and great tasting oils, and I really love the roasted garlic sauce. Keep it up and Thank you.” – James
“So many types of olive oil! Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the samples.” – Larry
“It’s worth the drive. Being in the olive grove makes the experience of oil tasting real. This is where you can understand pure olive oil vs old blended off the shelf. The tour is informative and the tasting presentation if spot on. You learn quality and food pairing. Thank you.”- Ruben
“You can taste the different olive oils and vinegars in their tasting room before purchasing. They have delicious and natural flavors.” – Ozge
“I love your products. We stumbled on your store 3 years ago while vacationing for our anniversary. We have been repeat customers every since.” – Velicia
“We went to the store in Old Town San Diego. The employee helping us with the sampling offered some very interesting and delicious olive oil and vinegar pairings. We love dipping “good bread” into the mixture. We went back and purchased a couple of sampler boxes. It’s fun to try different pairings. I don’t think we’ll ever be able to go back to regular Olive Oil again. Enjoy!!!” – MaryAnn
“If you haven’t had the Fresh Basil oil you don’t know what you are missing!!” – Katherine
“High quality olive oil. Unique flavors of oils, balsamic vinegars, and related products.” – Sharon
“This place is a must, and it’s a local company with a great product, way better than store bought…” – Justin
“I only use olive oils from TOOC. The best.” – Terri
“The tastings are amazing, staff was super friendly. A must see in the tourism district of Old Town. They shipped me my oil and vinegar to Chicago at no charge! Great local spot.” – Chad
“Unique and delicious selection of not only olive oil but also vinegars, whole olives, herb blends and more. Has a tasting room in the back which is a must to check out. Highly recommend.” – Mary
“Thanks! I have tried so many oils and vinegars that are sold closer to me and nothing comes close in quality and taste to yours!” – Lyn
“Fantastic experience! Monica was an incredible guide! She was so informative and it excites me to go home and cook! The flavored pairings of oil & vinegar were so delightful. My horizons have been changed!” – Lisa
“Great experience! Pam and all the staff were very knowledgeable about the business, the process, mixing, combinations of oils and vinegars, the farm and the history of this family owned business altogether. My girls and I learned a lot during our visit and found that they have more than just food related items… Definitely recommend going here and touring the olive farm!” – Cho
“We tend to avoid these tastings because… 3 bottles of oils and vinegars along with 3 stuffed olives jars later…I’m not sure which is my new favorite, roasted garlic oil with balsamic pomegranate vinegar or fresh basil oil with balsamic apple vinegar…so we get it all. I do like the super cute olive pick made out of olive tree that is convenient for eating olives right out of the jar!” – Kerri
“I’ve been using your olive oils for a couple of years now. For everything. Cooking, salads. This spring I had cholesterol levels checked and they had dramatically improved. Both good and bad cholesterol levels were near perfect. I attribute this to your oils, as nothing else about my diet has changed.” – Robin
“This olive oil is AMAZING!!! Our family was on vacation in San Diego the week after Christmas… we came upon a shop for Temecula Olive Oil Company in Old Town. Had a FAB time tasting oils and vinegars (something I would have never thought of doing)… WOW!!! I came away with a few different oils and vinegar and I’m here to refill! I have used this Roasted Garlic oil in my cooking and in ALL of my salads! I feel like a professional chef! lol! I never realized my salads could taste so amazing… we feel like we’re eating at a fancy restaurant! All out… restocking now… will keep coming back for more… thank you!!!” – Andrea
“I love your products. I’ve sent packages as gifts – And they were loved. Your olive oils and balsamic vinegars are fantastic. But, the spicy garlic stuffed olives are the best. Keep up the good work.” – Michael
“I have been a long time fan of your olive oil company! I love very much that you are truly “local” to us and you remain focused on the product “olive oil” and just keep providing simply the very best olive oils. Lucky to be a customer.” – Lorie
“Thank you for having such delicious olive oils! I absolutely love your company! Keep up amazing production!!” – Margaret
“We really like your olive oil and we have been on your tour with Thom about 3 times bringing guests to see how the oil is made and the fact that his tour is one of the best I have been on!” – Don
“After we had the chance to visit several years ago, tour and participated in one of your on-site tastings, we were SOLD! Although we moved from Washington, we still continue to order your products. My wife Lori developed cookbooks for Betty Crocker Kitchens and prior freelanced developing recipes. She is very picky about the products she uses in her recipes and will continue her loyalty to Temecula Oil Company for as long as possible. Keep up the good job on being innovative.” – Marty and Lori
“My friend and I visited your lovely store a couple of months ago. We are from Oklahoma and were there on a golf and wine tasting trip. While in your store I purchased the Olive Oil Butter thinking I would just use it on my feet at night. Omg…I love it so much; I use it on my arms, legs and I even use a small dab just under my brows. Thank you for making such a great product.” – Judy
“Thank you!! You make a great product & offer a lovely experience for those who have visited your Temecula site!” – Leslie
“Your olive oil is like medicine. It has healing properties unlike most olive oils out there. It’s the real deal.” – Ardavan
“Awesome! Had an amazing time when finally stopping to visit, finding your paradise. I took pictures and posted in Idyllwild and many want to stop by. Love your products, buying for first time the body butter…amazing. Orange blossom in the morning and lavender at night. Love your wine too. The staff I met were a joy to speak with. So impressed I became a member.” – Susan
“Dear GOD the Mediterranean Herbs olive oil you make is a gift from above. Every time I use it I say a silent thank you to you. I’ve been getting them for my friends as gifts in addition to keeping my stock FULL and I can’t thank you enough. Wishing you all the best continued business!” – Tristan
“I have been buying your basil olive oil for years. We have tried many others but yours remains my favorite.” – Kate
“Thank you so much for your great product. We live in Indiana and were visiting family years ago in San Diego when we found your tasting room. We have been loyal customers ever since. My wife and I love the flavored oils and the vinegars. We are anxious to visit again and see the groves. Thanks for all your hard work and a great product.” – Edward & Brenda
“We are huge fans – kinda groupies as they say for Temecula Oil Company. We found you in Solana Beach, taken the tour, spend hundreds of dollars on Temecula Oil Company products and continue the love affair!!! We can’t look at olive oil the same – we have become snobs! And we love it. Nancy & Thom are terrific and we look forward to knowing them better as we bring all our out of town guests to the farm as well send Temecula Olive Oil gifts to my clients. It’s a match made in heaven. Keep doing great things.” – Julie and Robert
“I just want you to know how much I enjoy your olive oils! A friend and coworker of mine visits your store whenever she makes the trip to California to see her daughter. On one of her last trips she offered to bring me some back (but ended up shipping the box since we both had multiple bottles lol). Oh. My. Goodness. I am hooked now. I have tried many different oils and am enamored with your product. The flavor, finish, all of the elements… delicious! We ordered another box and are so thankful to have something so great available to us Midwest gals across the country! Keep doing what you do!” – Maggie
“You have a premium product. I have never been disappointed. Thank you for your continuous quality and customer service.” – Maria
“I lived in San Clemente when I was stationed at Camp Pendelton for eight years before I retired from the Marine Corps. I am now back in Texas with my family after 20 years of service. When I was in California I found your awesome olive oil store in Temecula and now being in Texas I buy it and have it shipped to my home every time I am getting low. One of the best things was me and my wife took the tour of the facility where you make the olive oil. It was awesome to see the process. Please keep making that delicious olive oil.” – Chris
“We used to live in Temecula. I remember how much we enjoyed the experience of tasting the various oils & vinegars available in your tasting room; it enabled us to choose “favorites”. The store layout, the attention to detail and the customer service was always perfection. When it came time to find the perfect gift for my daughter-in-law…..I selected some “favorites” for her. We are so pleased. Quick shipping, great packaging also. Thank you!” – Pamela
“We love your products and recommend them all of the time. When dealing with your staff at the ranch (we have taken the tour) or at the stores it’s always an enjoyable experience.” – D&L
“My husband and I love your Roasted Garlic Olive Oil and Fresh Apple Balsamic Vinegar on our salads. I use your Lemon Olive Oil in my Lemon Cookies and it’s become a favorite also. Your Mediterranean OO is a favorite for dipping and grilling. Thank you for getting us addicted to your amazing Olive Oils and Vinegars and looking forward to our next shipment.” – Marian
“Years ago my mother, who doesn’t even use olive oil, introduced me to Temecula Olive Oil. She was impressed after one of the owners spoke at St. Catherine of Alexandria’s women’s club. I subsequently went to one of your workshops. I’ve been using your oils, vinegars, and body lotions/butter ever since. My go to salad dressing is Blood Orange Olive Oil and Fresh Apple Balsamic with a touch of Dijon. I’ve made the Blood Orange chocolate cake — and I generally don’t even like chocolate cake. It is fantastic. I’m a major fan and hope to visit the Temecula store when I come in September for my Mom’s 98th birthday.” – Maureen
“Let me just say I was a former Temecula local and loved visiting the store in Temecula and continue to love and order your product from Las Vegas. I rave about your products and have gotten so many friends and family to use and love your products too. The flavors and quality of your olive oils is unmatched and I will forever be a customer. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful product!” – Esperanza
“Since my enrollment to the O&V Club, I enjoy the surprises I get once I open the boxes. I have depended on you for Christmas gifts for coworkers and birthday gifts for my family. The presentation of the boxes is what makes you unique and when I give the gift boxes, the recipients always feel special. Last month, I was on an International trip and one of my body butters (Orange Blossom) was confiscated. I was already more than half of it consumed but because of the size, they made me throw it away. Besides being infuriated, I was so disappointed because my vacation was not over as I was just going from one state to another abroad. Nothing compares to your body butters as I have sensitive skin. As a teacher, your body butters are my go-to since I am constantly washing my hands. My students know when I have applied the Lavender body butter as they claim that they feel calm smelling my lotion.” – Mose
“I have enjoyed olive oil from Temecula Olive Oil Company for many years. So much so that I buy the oil as gifts for family and friends often. It never fails to please the recipient. My favorite is the Blood Orange olive oil and the Apple balsamic vinegar. Even better is the fact that there is an outlet very close by where I live where I can taste the different oils to find which I like best.” – Lucinda
“I had purchased the Blood Orange olive oil and the Apple vinegar on a trip to Laguna last year, and totally fell in love with it! I can’t bear to get the store bought olive oil anymore. These two are so good in salads, and for oven baked chicken this is the best oil! Got the basil flavor so I’m excited to try that one! Very very pleased with how fast the oils shipped, and the beautiful packaging they arrived in! Thank you for making such good products!” – Lisa & Darin
“We have been buying your olive oil for years. I can’t remember what year we started but except for a few occasions when we ran out, it’s the only olive oil we use. I have ordered a gift box for my adult children for Christmas for the last few years and we have ordered for other friends. So, we have sent your oil as far as Pennsylvania and Texas.” – Dean
“You guys are great, wish I lived closer so I could visit. I was introduced to TOOC at the store in Old Town San Diego I think in 2017 when I visited family who recently moved to San Diego. It was love at first taste! Ever since I make sure I keep my shelves stocked and usually gift some bottles at Christmas time. I really appreciate a good olive oil and there aren’t many domestic ones so I proudly support your many products.” – Leo
“I love love love your oil and have gifted several bottles. Thanks for bringing something awesome to the Temecula area!” – Nicky
“We used to live in Temecula and since our move to Florida some months ago, we were missing your fantastic Fresh Apple Vinegar and your great tasting Olive Oil very much. Today your delivery came perfect on time, everything wonderful safely packed in a beautiful box. Since I was using your ingredients my husband started loving and eating salad – so I am really happy about that. Thank you for your great work and we wish you furthermore lots of success!” – Anita and Bob
“Thank you for your great service, and awesome products. We are in our 70’s and live in Montana…no olive trees…haha. However I have family in California so I have had the pleasure of visiting your awesome location. I fell in love with the Olive Dirty Martini Mix,…I now order 12 at a time. And occasionally share with others. My husband is our cook and uses Garlic Garlic oil & Olivum oil instead of store bought. We both love your fruity Vinegars…and make great salad dressings. Thank you so much for offering these gems outside of California. There’s nothing like them in Montana. Your packaging is OUTSTANDING !! ….Never a breakage or leakage. AND QUICK Shipping.” – Rodona & Scott
“It’s always a pleasure to visit your store at Old Town – everyone is always so helpful! We love love all the Temecula products! Not sure what I’d do without all the wonderful oils. Thanks for making your product!” – Kristine
“Your high-quality olive oils have transformed our lives in a way…certainly elevated our dinner hour and healthful eating…and after giving your olive oils to my entire Christmas list last year I have heard the same from nieces, nephews, and siblings. My sister in Thousand Oaks has become an ambassador for your brand—a true believer. Your store in Temecula was a pathway to our move to California and to reaching my lifelong California dream. While house hunting here about five years ago, one of your tasting room staff suggested we buy sandwiches and drive out to your ranch…where we picnicked and enjoyed a bottle of your equally impressive wines. We fell in love with the land and the landscape. Now we live in Temecula and enjoy your olive oils every day, and tell others about them. I am writing this to tell you that your work in my opinion is not just a marketing venture; I believe it is a calling and a mission. And you might not know there are folks like us “out here.” So you and your family should be encouraged even on tough days that you are improving the quality of people’s lives and literally contributing to “olive their dreams” coming true. You certainly did so (do so) for us! We’ve been to the ranch multiple times and look forward to many more. May God bless your work and your family always.” – Kerry
“I am excited to use your olive oil! We went to the San Diego store and bought products there while we wait for the pre sale harvest. I am using it for medicinal reasons and wanted the purest healthiest oil I could find. We saw your interview on a PBS show and remembered it when I needed a high quality product. Thank you for doing things is a sustainable and natural way! We look forward to visiting your ranch in the future!” – Catherine
“Just wanted to say how much my family and I love your company. Ever since my daughter, who lives in California, took me to your store and we sampled your products we were hooked. Now it is the only oil and vinegar that we buy (along with other products). Any time a new item comes out, I can’t wait to try it. My three girls and I are Temecula fans! Thanks!” – Rosalind
“Thank you so much for making such a good product. I have used your Italian herbs for many years. I only used olive oil sparingly (store bought) until I discovered your olive oil. It is awesome and I use it all the time. Thank you.” – Donna
“We LOVE the olive oil. We also give it to some customers as a ‘Thank You’. It has actually made it all the way to Germany! I will be ordering some other ‘flavors’ of olive oil in the next few weeks. As always, thank you for having such a quality product that I can depend on right here in Temecula! See you soon!” – Rikki
“Just wanted to tell y’all that I absolutely love your Olive Oils and Vinegars. Been a customer for awhile and even though I no longer am a Chef in California I wanted to still cook all my dishes here in Texas with all your wonderful products. Thank you for dropping an email and I absolutely love the Club! That Lemon is my favorite next to your Basil & Jalapeño Lime!! Keep doing a great growing and producing job!!” – Chef Jordan
