The California Olive Oil Gift Guide: Holiday, Client, and Hostess Gifts

Olive oil gift box with bottles and dipping bowls

Good olive oil is one of the few gifts nearly everyone uses up, and one that tells a story. Here are our favorite ways to give it.

For the home cook

  • Holiday Gift Box: two 250 ml bottles of our unfiltered extra virgin olive oil plus two ceramic dipping bowls.
  • Pair with a good loaf of sourdough, flaky sea salt, and a pepper grinder.
  • Add a handwritten recipe card for your favorite dish.

For the host or hostess

Skip the bottle of wine everyone else brings. A 250 ml bottle of single-estate olive oil is easy to carry and something they'll actually remember.

Antipasto board with cheese, cured meats, grapes and wine

For clients and teams

Local, made by a family business, and useful: olive oil is a classic client gift for realtors (closing gifts), financial advisors, wineries, and law firms. Tips:

  • Order early. We make only about 150 gallons in a typical year.
  • Cases of 12 × 250 ml or 12 × 500 ml bottles are the easiest way to cover a gift list.

For the person who has everything

A Harvest Club gift subscription delivers fresh olive oil every few months, plus first access to our new-harvest oil each fall.
