Hands down the best olive oil in California! How can it not be? They own the orchard. Kind, good people there, that's why I support them and you should too! read more

Can't wait to take my family back to the tasting room so we can each pick our favorite oils and vinegars. The flavors are delicious and the products are high quality. The last time I went I bought myself several tiny bottles of both oils and vinegars but next time I will need to get larger bottles for sure. I particularly LOVE the balsamic vinegar white peach, fig and smoke. Favorite olive oils: lemon, tuscan blend, truffle. I simply cannot wait to go back to the tasting room. You should take a date or your family and pick out some favorites to take home. Such fun! read more

I Highly recommend this olive oil and the olives. The best locally available oils. A must have in my book. Adds the perfect touch to all my meals. read more

We really love these guys at The Grove Farmer's Market in Redlands. Not only do they have great olive oil with different flavors, the owner also makes a bunch of amazing dips you can add to bread and pastas and meats. We enjoy the olive tapenade, chimichurri, lemon pesto among others. read more

I ran out of olive oil at home, so I decided to finally visit Nuvo Olive Oil, a shop my friend had recommended a long time ago. Even though it was a 45-minute drive from West Los Angeles to Lakewood, it was absolutely worth it. When I arrived, I was a bit surprised to find the tasting room closed. However, after a quick call, Nathan kindly said he'd come over right away, and in no time, he opened the tasting room for me. The space was tiny, but the variety of oils available for tasting--both flavored and authentic--was impressive. I was especially moved by the Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil, where I could really feel the peppery kick of oleocanthal. The aroma was deep and rich as well. I also tried a small amount of their 18-year-old Godmother Balsamic Vinegar, and even from just a taste, I could tell how layered and flavorful it was. I'm sure it'll elevate any salad with its depth of flavor. I ended up purchasing a 500ml bottle each of the olive oil and the Godmother balsamic. Nathan was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain everything, which made the visit all the more enjoyable. The tasting room may be small, but it has a cozy charm. You can see family photos, sample different olive oils, try olive-based skincare products, and browse soaps made with olive oil. Honestly, the drive was totally worth it. TIPS: 1. I do recommend making an appointment beforehand, though. 2. For those living in West LA, Nathan also attends the Santa Monica Farmers Market every Wednesday, so that might be a more convenient option to grab these amazing products. Now, my only problem is... I don't think I can go back to the olive oil and balsamic vinegar I used to have. read more

Nuvo Olive Oil - Olive Oil Near Me - Long Beach, California

BEST EVER!!! Tried ALMOST everything!!! Courteous, Clean, and knowledgeable when it comes to olives oil and infused fruit in their vinegrettes. So yummy. read more

This small family owned business is noteworthy and totally worth checking out. When we arrived for a tasting, they had just opened up their small storefront. Co-owner, olive oil sommelier, Josh, is personable and quite knowledgeable about balsamic varieties as well. The olive oil soap smelled divine, so I picked up a couple for gifts. We walked away with a variety of oils which we are thoroughly enjoying at home. We plan to return to replenish when we run out..and I'll be sure to pick up a soap for myself! read more

Nuvo Olive Oil - Variety of olive oils, that I purchased. - Olive Oil Near Me - Long Beach, California

I recently attended an olive-oil tasting of this brand at the Inn at the Mission in SJC (2nd Thursday of the month, check Eventbrite for tickets!), and I am happy to learn there is a little brick-and-mortar tasting room/office. (For those who follow my reviews, you know I am from LA and still have friends + family up here, whom I look forward to bringing to this location). Aside from swigging olive oil from mini cups (I officially can now raise my hand to the question: Have any of you ever drank olive oil??), I was served Nuvo's everyday olive oil and various balsamic vinegars in both drink and food concoctions- everything from a raspberry-vodka something, to soup and salad, gelato and cake! I LOVE the quality of this brand, and while they don't bottle the aged balsamics themselves, they found a fantastic proprietor to make it for them. Unfortunately, I still lean more towards said balsamics in my purchases but that will change soon. I learned a lot at the event: how poor quality olive oils leave a film on the tongue and are greasy, that the harvest date should be within three years, and white balsamic exists. I want to expand my understanding (maybe it'll inspire me to change my Yelp headline away from bacon grease haha!) to tasting notes and of all the unique uses for these products (Nuvo has a Youtube channel, a blog and a mini recipe book linked up on their website... apricot glazed chicken caught my eye already). I work in an industry where knowledge in wine, cheese, beer, oils and cooking techniques is a huge asset. I was over-the-moon to start my journey in learning about olive oil from Josh. I admired his enthusiasm, passion, knowledge and backstory. I cannot wait to introduce others to Nuvo and I'm excited to stop in here on my next trip up. Thank you, Josh and Danielle (Nuvo's chef extraordinaire)! Pros: - organic/CA grown - small family business - inexpensive tasting events - super fresh - at most FM from Venice to Chula Vista (check the event calendar- they do the Saturday Torrance and Wednesday Little Italy ones too!) Cons: - not in Oceanside ;) read more

Nuvo Olive Oil - Reverence is the Inn's house oil, Josh said lemon + Godmother is a fave blend of his, mine is Creamsicle, and choc balsamic! - Olive Oil Near Me - Long Beach, California

I have not yet been to the tasting room, though I intend to go soon - I just need to call and make sure they are open before hand. However, I have been a regular customer of Nuvo at the Farmer's Market on 4th and Cherry since the first week it started. These olive oils and balsamic vinegars are so fantastic. I'm a big foodie and I absolutely love cooking. I have enjoyed them so much I have gone back and gotten something different every time and have bought small sampler packs (4 small bottles of your choice) for two of my friends for Christmas this year. The first thing that sold me was the Tuscan blend olive oil. However I now have that plus the Late Harvest EVOO, Blood orange olive oil, and jalapeño olive oil - as well as the white peach balsamic, white strawberry balsamic, pineapple balsamic, and The Godfather balsamic. I've tried so many combinations on salads, for cooking, even for just dipping some of the fresh bread (also from Farmer's Market - Hey Brother Baker) in for a snack. Joshua (I believe) is the one who is always running the stand and he is always incredibly helpful and kind with excellent recommendations. I highly recommend these olive oils! And don't forget try the delicious tapenade as well! read more

***This review is specifically for the Nuvo Oil Tasting Event held on 14April2022.*** Come one, come all! Bring a friend, or two, or a table full! This is North County's best kept bargain find with the most unique experience! (Literally y'all they should be charging 100-150% more for this event.) Via Eventbrite, $20.85/ticket gets you a crash course in California Olive Oil from Nuvo which is based in Long Beach. The grove is located in Norther California in a small town about an hour NE of Sacramento called Oroville. It is a 125yr old grove now owned and operated by two Michigan raised brothers (who came to their senses and joined us here in California LOL JK--kind of)--Josh and Nate. Their website is Nuvooliveoil.com should you want further info. Nuvo is the dedicated purveyor for The Inn at San Juan Capistrano for all things olive oil AND balsamic vinegar. This event was hosted by Josh (owner) and Justin (trusty side kick and olive oil aficionado) , with special chef de Cuisine Danielle. First came the olive oil tasting with six to try. All were amazing and there was something for everyone! The oils were then paired with balsamic and it's amazing how various balsamics can completely change the flavor profile and bring out the star of the olive oil. During this tasting there is a special curated alcohol based drink included. Should you be a non-drinker, simply ask for a virgin. It was glorious! Next up was a 4 course tasting (come hungry y'all, Danielle is honestly on par with some of those fancy restaurants in the Napa Valley region--not joking). I wish the lighting had been better for pictures, but the sun was going down and honestly pictures wouldn't have done this menu justice. First course was a charcuterie board with balsamic drizzles on cheeses and fruits. Second course was a cauliflower purée (drizzled with EVOO which completely changed it's flavor FOR THE BETTER--elevation at its finest). Third course was a salad dressed with EVOO. And the final course was a sorbet with balsamic caviar and olive oil cake. (Literally, $20. I can't even. I wish an option for tipping out Danielle was available.) After the event there is an option to purchase EVOO and balsamic. (They DO have the ability to take Apple Pay.) Parking was easy (street). The event was held in the courtyard by the Ysidora. Bathrooms are inside the restaurant and accessible for handicap. (Duh, right? But good to mention. The stall itself has a full blown door, so those in chairs or mobility units could find it cumbersome.) The courtyard does get cold once the sun goes down--bring a lightweight sweater or something this time of year. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRYING THIS EVENT OUT. Literally something I'd never tried or even thought about trying. Thank you Yelp and Nuvo for promoting and hosting this event! read more

Amazing oils and balsamic. Highly recommend. Service is great. Lovely tasting room. Makes my Caprese salad taste extra special. Thank you. Wonderful Father's Day gift. read more

We did a tasting with Josh and had such a great time! We learned a lot about olive oil and got to taste so many different things and combinations, all such great taste and quality. Josh was knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and made the tasting fun. They clearly care about their product and prioritize having a great time. We enjoyed every product enough that it was quite difficult to decide what to take home. Our expectations were exceeded for sure! read more

Last month I gave these guys a negative review because I received the wrong order. How wrong could I be? I quickly received a message from Josh - one of the owners. And he made good! Without charging!! I have long appreciated their olive oil. Have given it as presents. also the balsamic. The olive oil is delicious. Great addition to cooking and also for dipping. I also order th meyer lemon and garlic infused oils. Those are also very special in that they are infused so the flavor is crisp and clean. Kuddo for Joshh and Nathan. They rescued some valuable old olive trees and made some of the best olive oil on the planet!!! read more

I've been coming here for the past four years after my son's allergy treatments at SoCal Allergy Institute. They have some of the best olive oils and balsamic vinegars around! My favorites are the Godmother and Godfather balsamic vinegars, but honestly, everything they carry is incredibly delicious. Josh always greets us with a big smile, and the staff is just wonderful. They treat me and my son like family every time we visit. They also have a tasting room where you can sample everything--and trust me, it's all absolutely amazing and hard to resist. read more

Seriously the best place to come for olive oil these guys have everything come check them out. I found them in Hollywood Farmers market HFM on the Sunday. read more

Did you know we had an award-winning olive oil producer right in Long Beach, made from estate-grown olives? (The estate is obviously in NorCal, but it's still their estate.) I certainly didn't, even though our favorite Thai place (ST Noodle) is literally around the corner, until of all places, I discovered them on Groupon a couple weeks ago! It wasn't entirely clear how it worked (their website barely even talks about their tasting room currently), but I decided to give them a shot - I bought a (heavily!) discounted sampler of mini-bottles of their 3 unflavored olive oils and one 18 year balsamic, with the expectation we'd probably get there and buy one or two other things, then contacted them for more info. I was told that normally they're only open during business hours on weekdays (and currently only with advance reservation, due to covid), though they could make an exception and show up for us on Saturday if we needed. Thankfully for them (cause it was clear it would be an imposition), we both often take Friday afternoons off these days, cause what *else* are we gonna do with the vacation time? So I was there yesterday afternoon, and it is such a hidden gem! First off, I can see why it's reservation-only right now, and why they aren't promoting their tasting room as much (they said most of their sales right now are still through their farmers' markets visits): it's basically a tiny office building, where they've turned the front room into a "tasting room", that's basically just a dining table table (fits maybe 8 people snugly) with little bottles all over the room. With social-distancing, and keeping in mind it's indoors (side-note: these reviews are gonna look *so* weird in a year), they can really probably only safely help one group at a time. Nonetheless, since they're so under the radar, we show up, expecting to taste a few things, pick up our bottles and leave, and instead, sit chatting with one of the owners (Josh) about olive oil and how we use it and about their business and how they make all their stuff, and not only did we try basically every olive oil and vinegar they make (including the ones we already bought via the Groupon sampler, even though we said we didn't need to waste his time since we'd already bought them, but he insisted - so cool!), he also recommended and then let us try a bunch of blends (i.e. a few drops of different olive oils mixed with a few drops of different vinegars - also super cool!) He even said if we wanted to try any other combinations, just ask! (I did want: having tried out my hunch, I *strongly* recommend a blend of equal parts jalapeno and serrano over either of those individually.) Tried a delicious jam, too, as well as a fantastic variety of olive so uncommon, we'd never heard of it! And the coolest thing, that you wouldn't ever see at a bigger, more mainstream olive oil shop: at the end, he brought out a plastic jug of something he said they were still fine-tuning, and this batch had literally just finished earlier that day, and did we want to try it? Duh we did - it was a cranberry-pear white balsamic, and it was delicious. (We still gave honest feedback about it, though, since he was looking for it.) We were there for like 45 minutes! Anyway, funny enough, while I could tell their straight evoos were all very high quality, I personally found them a bit bitter (I like evoos that are bold, but more buttery/peppery, as opposed to the more bitter/earthy/grassy character in all three of theirs - they'll all three be awesome in tossed pasta or for cooking, though). But all their flavored evoos were just gorgeous, you could really taste how fresh the adjuncts were when they went in - other than the 50/50 blend of peppers I mentioned, our other favorite was the lemon (tasted like truly fresh zested and squeezed lemon!), so obviously we bought a little bottle of that one (but pretty much all the infusions were excellent). They also had a really neat hickory-smoked(!) aged balsamic, so that left with us, too, as did a jar of those olives. And the great thing is, everything's bottled fresh to order! So not only does that mean, unlike a lot of olive oil shops where everything's pre-bottled, you can get anything they sell in any size bottle... remember that 50/50 pepper blend I keep mentioning? I asked if I could buy a bottle of the blend, and he said sure! And their regular (non-Groupon) prices are super reasonable for such high quality olive oil and vinegars, too! (We paid $39 for the small lemon, medium pepper blend, large smoked balsamic and a jar of olives - definitely not Napa prices!) read more

Nuvo Olive Oil - literally the whole tasting room, haha. Such good olive oil though! - Olive Oil Near Me - Long Beach, California

We stumbled onto this great little olive oil tasting room. Josh, one of the owners, gave us a delicious tour through his oils and balsamics. He says they will be doing a pop up in the near future! Oh, and be sure to try the kalamata kaviar. Really tasty tapenade. Brought some home and my husband said, "Better remember where you got that!" Yes, he really liked it read more

Nuvo Olive Oil - Mark, Jaye and Josh - Olive Oil Near Me - Long Beach, California

I started with one bottle of oil n vinegar from the Burbank Farmers Market right before Covid. I loved my purchase so much that I've been online ordering since and have tried a lot of different flavors. Today I went to their tasting room to 1. Get out of the house for a bit, damn Covid! And 2. Stock up on things. I now only use their products to make my salad dressings. I'm addicted!!! Everyone I've talked to at Nuvó has been super friendly and helpful. Great team and I love that it's family owned! You've made my salad game top notch!! read more

Nuvo Olive Oil - Yummy oil n vinegars that up my salad game! Delish! - Olive Oil Near Me - Long Beach, California

We love all the delicious olive oil and vinegar we've bought from Nuvo over the years. We like buying their small bottles as gifts. Since we like their oil so much, we decided to give small bottles of their olive oil as favors for my daughter's wedding. What a hit! Just a nice way to highlight one of California's best products to guests who were mostly from the east coast. Matt was very on-board with our idea from the start and was fully prepared to help us. We are so grateful to have you here in LA! read more

Well, what can I say about Nuvo products - how about YUM!!! I was introduced to them at the farmer's market in Redlands. Can't remember what I bought first, but it was the lime olive oil that made me a believer. The co-milled oils make it easier to make items with ease. I like to cook beef, bell peppers and onions (think fajitas) in the lime olive oil. In the blood orange, I like carrots, apples and onions. Use the garlic to add just a little bit to cooking salmon or other fish, or chicken or.. well it's infinite. And for really decadent mayo, use the everyday olive oil with the godmother balsamic. Customer services is good. Enjoy your purchases. read more

Nuvo olive oil is so delicious you could drink it in a cup. It's been a game changer in the kitchen. I use this oil in all of my cooking, and it enhances the flavor so much it almost feels like cheating. I always knew the type of oil you use is important, but Nuvo taught me the real impact of a truly delicious oil. It is simply unmatched. Bravo. read more

My girlfriend is very fussy about olive oil in general. I have been buying various brands for years. I happened to find Nuvo olive oil and she absolutely loves it. Now she wants to give all her friends gift sets. I guess this will be the last brand I will ever have to buy. read more

Phenomenal customer service! There was some confusion with the appointment I made and Nathan was so apologetic and kind. He was so generous and pleasant to speak to. I am looking forward to going in for a tasting soon! read more

The Cioccolato Balsamic Vinegar is a great way for my children to eat salad :) Both my 6yo and 2yo love vegetables dressed with this particular balsamic, they think it's fun to have chocolate with their lettuce and I'm happy to have a way to get them to eat plants! read more

I was introduced to Nuvo Olive Oil by receiving it as a gift during the holidays. Doing quite a bit of cooking, this was the perfect gift. I received the Everyday Olive Oil, the Godfather Balsamic, and the Early Harvest. I immediately opened the Everyday Olive Oil and started cooking with it. I found it amazement!!! Low, medium or high heat, it was perfect! No splatter, no after taste, just a very clean olive oil. I have purchased high end olive oils in the past, but none compare to this one. I used the Godfather Balsamic with fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, basil and shrimp and scallops. Absolutely delicious! So in return, I have sent five packages to friends and relatives across the U.S. All consisted of the Everyday Olive Oil except for one. He wanted to try the Fused Olive Oil - Garlic. Other items consisted of balsamic and some fruit spreads. They all just received them, so it should be interesting to hear of their experiences. I have also ordered for myself the Fused Olive Oil - Blood Orange, the Raspberry Balsamic and the Strawberry Fruit Spread. I opened the Strawberry Fruit spread and all I can say is flavorful and clean. I actually added some to my oatmeal this morning along with fresh berries. Nuvo Olive Oil is the only place I will be purchasing from. read more

We love Nuvo olive oils. Not only do they taste fantastic, but they are also amazing for our health. Everyone in my family has an autoimmune disease. We're all on very restrictive diets because we get flareups when we eat foods to which we are sensitive. So we were thrilled when we had no autoimmune reactions to your oils. We all felt great afterwards. That's a big deal for us because we almost always have flareups after consuming commercial olive oils. We suspect that they are adulterated with seed oils, since we react to those. With Nuvo, we don't need a third-party certifier to tell us that the oils are authentic. Our bodies tell us that! read more

First time coming here to the market night in Pasadena CA what a great surprise that was. Some good fruit and vegetable vendors and lots of snacks and food trucks with some good choices. However the olive oil stand got my attention I love olives in sandwiches or in salads or a good Martini. Or in general I love olives , so the gentleman who represented the stand and fam was a genuine and vibrant dude. Even cracked a cool joke or two so he lets me try the garlic and jalapeño olives and both are just divine so I got to jars for $14 not bad of a deal can't complain or say it was not worth it they where great. I think I'll definitely keep these guys in mind later for cooking oil as well and go back to look at more products from there olive farm. read more

This was the only good thing at the las vegas food festival. The early harvest line of their olive oil tastes pungent and fruity with a touch of bitterness which proves the high quality of the oil.

Nuvo Olive Oil - Matt at the farmers market in playa vista. - Olive Oil Near Me - Long Beach, California

Serrano chili oil has beautiful flavor & heat- garlic and basil oils are fantastic too.

If you have been buying olive oil form the grocery store, you could be getting any number of oils that are not real olive oil. You read the label hoping to get some idea of the flavor profile of the oil in the bottle. But unlike a good wine, this crafty collection of adjectives is of no use to figure out what is in the bottle. However Nuvo is the real thing. All of the olive oils I have tasted in the Nuvo line up is made form real olives, grown in California, that produce real true olive oil flavor. I thought I knew what Olive oil tasted like, but I had no real idea until I found Nuvo at a farmers market in Manhattan Beach. Each and every one of the samples had a flavor profile that left me wanting more. I found myself thinking of what would I cook with this stunning product, what bread would taste like with it, what my pesto would be like with this new found jewel. I have redone many of my own recipes using Nuvo and it has added a new level of perfection to them. I am a true fan. I have been cooking for over 40 years professionally, and for friends and family. I just wish I could get Nuvo olive oil any time I needed more from the store. Do your self a favor, seek it out at one of the many farmers markets in southern in LA or Orange county, and have the experience for yourself. Don't take my word for it. I am just a fan, this is not for pay, I just love this product. www.nuvooliveoil.com William Nealie Foodie for life. read more

Hi, this is Eva, a 10-year old girl who really likes Nuvo. I have tried the Hickory Smoked Balsamic Vinegar, the Jalapeno oil, both spicy and not too spicy, the Raspberry and Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar, and the Peach vinegar, and lots of other stuff. I like combining the peach and the garlic oil, the hickory smoked, and the garlic oil, and I like making salads and putting the oil and vinegars on them. I especially like the olives: the big, big green ones that are salty. Every time I get them at the farmers market, I eat them first thing. If I could give this a 100 stars, I definitely would! read more

Their balsamic vinegar is the best I've ever had. Their white peach one is great on fresh fruit and the hickory smoke is great in the sauces I make. The hickory just adds the perfect smokey flavor for my tempeh bacon. read more

Great balsamic, but don't order online. It took a month to get a shipping notification. Then it never showed up and the company did not return a phone message or emails. read more

I made my first purchase from them yesterday at the Fullerton Farmers' Market. I have a house guest coming this weekend & I'm excited to try my new oil & vinegar on our salads. What a difference from buying at a store! I love the experience--got to taste whatever I fancied & I could ask questions--very personal service. People complain that corporations care only about the bottom line--the dollar. The dollar is corporations' focus because often that's the only thing we consumers care about. I don't know if I paid more for my goods than elsewhere; but if I did, it's worth it for the personal service. I always leave these venues feeling happy & I figure it will save me doctor bills in the long-run--but I would shop there even if it did not. read more

If you like spicy you have to buy the Spicy Jalapeño Olive Oil! It's a favorite in my family. Drizzle over noodles, add to eggs and of course dip bread, you'll be hooked! We also like the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar drizzled over strawberries and vanilla ice cream! I'm getting hungry thinking about it. read more
