The next day I came to pick up bottles for all the girls on our girls' trip who wanted one. The owners were so kind to give me a last-minute tasting, even as they were about to close and I walked away with a case. All samples were delicious, and I'm excited to have the lemon infused olive oil over vanilla ice cream (as suggested) or to use the basil one for caprese salad. Please, if you're in the area don't miss a chance to check them out!

They offer a complimentary olive oil tasting, allowing you to truly appreciate the depth and character of each variety. The fresh bread served alongside the tasting is crafted from scratch in nearby Los Alamos at Bob's Well Bread Bakery, and it is delicious. A few of my personal favorites were the Santa Ynez, Garlic, and Habanero olive oils. The Garlic was so outstanding that I immediately purchased a bottle to take home. It is incredibly versatile. The setting itself is just as memorable as the tasting. There is ample charming outdoor seating beside a small creek, and the gentle sound of flowing water creates a peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere. The vibes are truly immaculate. Inside, the shop is beautifully styled and filled with thoughtfully selected gifts and, of course, an impressive array of olive oils available for purchase. Hayley (sorry if it's spelled wrong) was especially warm and helpful, making the visit feel welcoming. They also offer WiFi, which allowed us to linger a bit longer and get some work done. It is rare to find a place that combines quality, hospitality, and atmosphere so seamlessly.

From…read morethe moment you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully and tastefully decorated interior that feels warm, inviting, and thoughtfully curated--perfectly setting the tone for the experience. The selection is truly impressive. There's an incredible variety of infused and fused olive oils as well as different vinegars, each more delicious than the last. What makes it even more special is knowing that many of these offerings are carefully curated by the wonderful owner, Ruth, in collaboration with local farmers. You can really taste the quality, care, and passion behind every product. Ruth herself is a highlight of the visit. She's friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the tasting both informative and genuinely fun. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she has a great way of guiding you through the options while sharing stories, pairing ideas, and plenty of laughs along the way. Between the gorgeous space, outstanding selection, and Ruth's exceptional hospitality, We Olive is an unforgettable experience in Paso Robles. We left with full hearts, happy taste buds, and bags full of goodies--we can't wait to come back!

It was Tuesday, and we were glad to learn that they were open. Many businesses in the Paso Robles region are only open Thursdays through Sundays. While it wasn't crowded at all when we were there, other guests came through while we were there. The pastoral country setting is a wonderful complement to sitting outside under the shelter of one of their open-sided but roofed patio areas. Lizzie took great care of us - providing the story and attributes of their various olive oils and balsamic vinegar offerings. Served with fresh bread to dip, it was a great little taste treat experience without being too heavy. There are three different flights to choose from when it comes to the back half of the tasting menu, getting into the vinegars and seasonings like truffle salt. We experienced the healthful tickle of resveratrol in some of their heartier oils, and many yummy flavor enhancements overall. Our Sweet Granddaughter did try some of the olive oil, but it's not her speed (yet), so she was happy to have some gourmet chocolate gelato from their freezer case. There is a tasting fee, but it can be waived by joining their club which offers three shipments annually. Our sister-in-law decided to sign up, so the whole group was comped on the tasting. Dear Hubby and I bought one olive oil and one balsamic and we're ready to up our healthy snacking options. Overall, it was a relaxing experience in pleasant surroundings with Lizzie doing a great job of educating us all. Bravo!

Found this place through Yelp and it was one of a couple just off our way south, so it wasn't hard to make a pit stop. We were helped by a brunette lady (I forget her name), who was delightful and very knowledgeable. She gave us a sampling tour which gave us the breadth of flavors of olive oils. Who knew there was so many varieties?! Ok so maybe just I don't know but... Anyway, we left with 2 varieties: the cucina (blend of varietals) and soltera (one olive) as well as a spice mix and some truffle salt. Mmmm all so good! We have since been ordering olive oil from Pasolivos now for a few months since the visit. And now we cannot go back to the Costco olive oil we used to get. Btw, imported olive oil is likely not pure olive oil. There's no quality control, so you don't know what you'll get (cut with canola, etc). Seriously, we cannot go back to our old olive oil ways. We are now addicted to this award winning locally sourced California olive oil from Pasolivos! I kinda wish we could give that lady who helped us some kind of commission for our monthly orders.

What a delightful surprise to find Vintage Cheese in the Eateries collection building. I love cheese, but it doesn't love me. It turns out that Vintage Cheese crafts most of their offerings from goat or sheep milk / very little from cow's milk. Fingers crossed, the Manchego I bought will work out for my system. They also offer a wide array of meats and other additions to create you own amazing charcuterie board. I picked up a mild salami, a box of gourmet crackers, a bag of garlic-spiced cashews, and a package of vegan fig salami. Mind blown! Who knew there was such a thing? Not me, until yesterday. Can't wait to get back home and set up a plate of all this deliciousness, adding some fresh grapes and cherries to the mix. The young man who helped me explore their merch was very informative and took pride in his explanations. I bought more than intended because of him bringing to light their unique offerings. Check them out when you are in the area. It's a great concept, well executed.
