We crossed state lines just for good olive oil đź«’

Before we opened our shop, that’s what it took to find the ultra-premium oil we loved — so we brought it home to Old Metairie instead. Come taste, pick your favorite, and we’ll fill your bottle fresh.

What’s the first thing you’d drizzle a really good olive oil over?

Yes, you’re supposed to slurp your olive oil — and there’s a real reason for it 🫒

Warm a little in your cupped hand to wake up the aroma, give it a smell, then sip and slurp — that pull of air spreads the oil and brings out the flavor. It’s the proper way to taste, and the real trick to telling two oils apart: one turns out fruity and mild, the next grassy and peppery, and you can taste exactly which one you prefer. It’s how we taste every oil in the shop — come find yours here in Old Metairie.

Biophenols. The antioxidant that makes a fresh, high-quality olive oil taste peppery and a little sharp at the back of your throat.
Here's the thing most people don't know: the stuff on the grocery shelf has usually lost most of them. Ours are harvest-dated and lab-tested, so we can actually tell you the numbers. Some of our oils run several times higher than what you'll find at the store.
The best part is you don't have to take our word for it. Come taste the difference — try before you buy, always.

Right now, every olive oil on our shelf is from the Northern Hemisphere crush — pressed in October and November. Any week now, the Southern Hemisphere oils arrive and we start fresh.
A little backstory: we filmed this video back in February. The "four more months" Hardie mentions? That math is just about up.
Here's why this matters: olives are a fruit. The fresher the press, the better the oil. Our supplier, Veronica Foods, works on a two-hemisphere harvest cycle so the shop is always carrying recently-pressed oil — never sitting on a shelf for years like most grocery-store bottles. Right now, we're in the in-between moment: Northern oils at the tail end of their peak, Southern oils about to land.
Come taste before the lineup turns over. đź«’

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: you know it, you love it, but… do you know what “extra virgin” really means?! Valid question. 📝🫒

Not to get TOO scientific, but here’s the scoop:

Basically, to produce olive oil, olives are picked, crushed, and cold-pressed to extract the oil. It’s best to do this mechanically, without heat or chemicals, for a clean, mechanical process that keeps all the good stuff (flavor + nutrients) intact.

From there, it’s all about acidity. Regular virgin olive oil can have up to 2% oleic acid, while extra virgin sits below 0.8%. Translation: EVOO = smoother taste, better quality, and packed with more antioxidants and health benefits!

You heard it here first: all olive oils are NOT created equal.

With so many varieties on the market, it’s important to know how to spot the difference between high-quality olive oil and lower-grade alternatives. There are two methods to the madness: chemistry testing and sensory evaluation.

Ultimately, the only way to be certain you’re buying a genuinely high quality olive oil is to buy from a retailer who sources from a verified supplier and publishes the chemistry data. That’s exactly what we do at Old Metairie Olive Oils & Vinegars! Swipe through to see a breakdown of our process and learn even more on our website. Link in bio!
