Old World Olive Co. Our Products

About Us

Old World Olive Co. was founded in 2009 by Shasta Fase and Cory DeLong, inspired by a shared passion for gourmet olive oils and balsamic vinegars discovered during their travels through Tuscany. With four locations across Michigan, we proudly offer a curated collection of the world’s finest flavors. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or just beginning your culinary journey, we invite you to explore our unique selection and taste the difference for yourself. Visit us in-store or contact us today to learn more about our gourmet offerings.

Ingredients We Use

All of our extra virgin olive oils are FRESH—harvested and cold-pressed within just 3–4 hours to preserve their vibrant flavor and health benefits. We also offer naturally infused varieties, featuring ingredients like lemon, rosemary, and more, for a truly exceptional tasting experience.

Our aged balsamic vinegars are made without added sugars, are gluten-free, dairy-free, and certified Kosher. The sweetness you taste comes only from naturally occurring grape sugars, making them perfect for nearly every dietary lifestyle.

Our Practices

At Old World Olive Co., quality is at the heart of everything we do. Each of our extra virgin olive oils is rigorously tested, issued a Certificate of Analysis, and accompanied by a full chemical profile—ensuring purity, freshness, and excellence in every bottle.

While some of our artisanal producers may choose not to pursue USDA Organic certification due to the cost and complexity—especially in regions where neighboring farms use conventional practices—they remain deeply committed to sustainable, responsible farming. Minimal pesticides may occasionally be used to protect against natural threats like the olive fly, but seasonal rains help cleanse the fruit, and no detectable residues remain at the time of milling.

We are equally passionate about our balsamic vinegars. True balsamic begins with the Trebbiano grape, grown in the Modena region of Italy. After harvest, the juice is pressed, slowly reduced, and aged for years to develop the rich, complex flavor that defines authentic balsamic.

We partner only with trusted artisans and small-batch producers, ensuring every bottle we offer reflects our values: exceptional quality, unmatched flavor, and a commitment to tradition you can taste.

Highlights

At Old World Olive Co., we are committed to organic farming principles and work exclusively with farmers and millers who guarantee pesticide-free extra virgin olive oil. All of our oils meet or exceed FDA standards for imported EVOO, which require them to be free of detectable pesticide residues.

Except our Bacon Infused Olive Oil, all of our oils and vinegars are certified Kosher, making them suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences and needs.

Misc.

Most of our oils and vinegars are available in gallon sizes!
