I'm trying out 4 options this go around and they have a rewards program after 10 you get a free small bottle. Pricing is straight forward by size of bottle and they have other snack items as well. Chocolates and olives. I picked up some garlic stuffed Spanish olives that looked great. Friendly service, it is a small shop, one person doing all the work while I was there so be patient if someone else is ahead of you. The feel is like you're wine tasting and they will let you sample whatever peaks your interest.

This store has been a transport vehicle into a better way to cook, prepare dishes and make sugarless mock-tails. The other five star reviews really say it all - and I am totally on board. Mary has taught me so much about olive oil. She let me and my wife taste so many too. The education on the health benefits and potency and seasons... I now own and use about 15 bottles of both oils and vinegars. My faves: Balsamics for mocktails- guava, gravenstein apple, watermelon Balsamics for salad - lemon, oregano, and champangne Oils - Madigascar black pepper, bahklavout peppers oil (spicy) many different varieties of cooking and fresh usage robust to medium. These oils make every single dish taste better. Antica and Mary (the owner) are both gems. Seriously drop in, get educated and enjoy the next phase of you gourmet journey. Upgrade your cooking scene and spend some time, energy and money at Antica. Ambiance: Obviously a beautiful and serene creative environment.

Temecula Olive Oil Company was such a fun surprise and ended up being one of the highlights of our day. The different olive oils were genuinely delicious, and it was really interesting tasting the differences between them, The Lemon and Mediterranean was especially good and definitely came home with us! The shop itself is adorable and has that rustic, small-town Temecula charm that makes you want to wander around and look at everything. Beyond the oils, they have olives, spreads, sauces, and all kinds of things you suddenly convince yourself you absolutely need. The Tomato Basil Marinara may or may not have also made its way into our bag. A Sunday spent wine tasting and olive oil tasting? Turns out that is a pretty perfect combination. Great products, a fun experience, and something a little different from the usual Temecula wine-country day.

She seemed annoyed to have to help me even though it was empty. Kept having to repeat myself and ask for different flavors. It makes sense now as I read others reviews of the possibility of why. I ended up just cutting my visit short and just purchasing one . Don't know if I would stop by again. Especially since there's other olive oil places with friendlier service.

She and her daughter are so nice and created such a fun private event for us! They also prepared a delicious light lunch using the quality olive oils and balsamic vinegars they sell and educating us all about the health benefits of these products. This is not the same as the typical products sold at grocery store and definitely worth the splurge! They sell so many flavors of both olive oil & balsamic as well as other ingredients and super nice gift bundles too! We all took advantage of the opportunity to shop for ourselves and gifts with the discount they offer with the tasting. Highly recommend checking them out! I will be a repeat customer!

She gave suggestions on how to incorporate them into every day foods, which I've done and they are delicious! A little bit goes a long way. I'll definitely be back to purchase larger bottles.

You will find a great variety of artisanal oils here. They also offer a tasty selection of balsamic vinegar. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable on the products offered. They have great suggestions and are always willing to provide sample tasting. They don't have bread with the samples ( like similar Northern California artisanal shops provide). So just bring your own baguette if you can't taste oil and vinegar solo. I bought a set of oil and balsamic vinegar to give as a birthday gift. . They occasionally sell pita chips and hummus both of which are fabulous and locally sourced. I highly recommend you make this one of your stops when you are in Redlands!!

Every single flavor was so delicious that choosing what to take home became the hardest part. What made the experience even more special was the owner -- so warm, generous with her time, and incredibly knowledgeable. She patiently explained every flavor, pairing, and use without ever making us feel rushed. You can really feel the passion behind the products. Honestly, this place is therapy. The kind of therapy that feels as satisfying as candle shopping. Just spending time in the store is such a calming and joyful experience, and trust me, you definitely won't leave without a few bottles in your hands. These make such beautiful gifts for friends and family, but honestly you'll want to keep some for yourself too. And the best part? No matter your cooking skill level, a few drops on a salad or dish instantly make you feel like a MasterChef. Healthy, flavorful, and such a fun experience from start to finish.
