Napa Valley Olive Oil Mfg Company

Napa Valley Olive Oil Manufacturing Company and Italian Market sells sausages, cheese, aged balsamic, and, of course, olive oil. The first thing you will notice is that this little outlet store on the same road as Tre Vigne restaurant smells like Italy. The Napa Valley Olive Oil is sold at a low overhead hence is much cheaper. I always buy two gallons glass jugs then curse myself later for not buying more. If the olive oil you normally buy is not delicious, you are buying the wrong stuff.
You go down Charter Oak Ave until the road ends and then you are there. Given to my own faculties, I doubt if I would have ever found this. My mother lived here in St Helena and she shopped here.
We come here in the summer and sit out in the shade of their trees sipping wine, eating cheese, and dipping bread in their olive oil.

Sorry bad day

I have been in wine retail for decades. I don’t remember my last visit here but it also was decades ago. This is a must stop for people who want to visit what the valley was like in the pre-1960’s. The inside of the shop sells top quality olive oil at great prices their condiments are much like other deli’s or Italian based outlets. You pay with cash or check only (back in they days when many small businesses did this). The lady who runs the shop is down home and has a ton of information on the uses of the different oils and vinegars. She tore off a piece of french bread and I helped myself to tastes of the flavored balsamic. I guarantee once you visit this place you will return. Unlike any business in greater Napa.

Very very gross and stinky. Dirty, cluttered crap and food everywhere. Not sure why people like this place. The person working there or the owner wouldn’t even say. Don’t expect any diversity here. If you are a person of color, prepare to be ignored… They only like Caucasians here. Why don’t these jerks take their barn to racist filthy town in Oklahoma? Eww. They’re stuff is cheap and so is their service.

Somehow I was imagining a «Olive Oil Tasting» that resembled the wine tastings in town. Not the case.
What I wasn’t picturing was a table covered in different olive oils to test out. As many as you’d like… FOR FREE. In Saint Helena this is unheard of.
Their garlic olive oil is amazing. I wish I would have got a larger bottle.
Truly a hidden gem. It’s a no nonsense, straight to the point, whaddaya want?! kinda place, and I like that.

This place has amazing specialty cheeses and meats. Stopped there to eat a picnic lunch on their outside picnic tables in between winery stops. One of the best lunches! And reasonably priced too. Don’t stop anywhere else — that is unless you have something against reasonably priced, fresh tasty food…

A gem in the Napa Valley. All items available are top notch. My favorites are the cheeses, the bread, olives and fennel sausage. The olive oil is really good too. Also, the people who work there are very helpful and genuinely care about their customers.

This is the perfect little gem hidden away in Napa Valley. I came here to try different olive oils and I left with so much more. They have the best name brand Italian supplies and groceries for the CHEAPEST prices. I was about to purchase truffle oil, truffle salt, olive oil, different infused olive oils and specialty pastas. They have so much more to offer with authentic Italian desserts, pasta sauces, anchovies, salamis. The list could go on! They also offer cheese and olive oil tastings. Great customer service! It is CASH ONLY!

My wife has been going here since she was a young kid and this «secret» gem continues to be a special experience. Every time we visit Napa we stop here to but some super fresh salami, Italian cheese, fresh bread, etc. to have a gourmet picnic. We also love to explore the store for Italian food, olive oil, etc. Just love this place!

Awesome get away from the crowds and hit this hidden gem with thee best red blood orange EVOO ever, and a Mom n Pop place!

There are two locations. One on the main street and this is hidden away. So glad I found this place. It is truly a hidden gem of Napa Valley.
Pretty surprised with how little I can walk away with but be so happy with it all. The place is a run down barn but the cheese options are fantastic. The have this large plethora of balsamic vinegar and olive oils, which is always a plus in my book, along with dried and aged salami.
The picnic tables outside are perfect for a small quiet lunch area with plenty of shade. Limited parking.

This place is a must to stop in! I dont visit Napa without coming here. Everything is authentic and delishish! Out of the way — not a tourist trap. Will be back soon to replinish my olive oil stock!

So real. In the same location for 100 years but still only accepts cash. They’ll even accept a personal check! You would only want to use a good check with these kind of folks anyway. One of the only places where they don’t get mad when you pick oranges! Great olive oil, great flavored oils and vinegars. Cheeses! Olives! Pepperonis and giant authentic salamis.
There’s also a touristy olive oil place elsewhere in st helena somewhere, never been to the other one…
Authentic and like «old napa valley» which is such an overused term anyway. Always worth a stop

I love this little shop!
Best Olive Oil for cooking and the price I have found to date. Lots of other little goodies and hard to find imported foods. I love their little salami sticks by the door too for $ 1.25
I’ll keep coming back to this hidden gem!

The store owner was incredibly sweet and super friendly. She told us the story of how she became a part of Unilocal.We had some tastings of really great olive oil. By far the blood orange and lemon olive oils became our favorites.

We stopped here after our brunch at Farmstead for an olive oil supply run. The bestie raved about this place and I had never heard of it before. I love olive oil. Cooking, making dressings, and a high quality EVOO makes a huge difference in the taste of your dish. It really is a deal breaker whether your dish turns out ok or amazing. trust me!
Very rustic and small. a bit crampish since there was quite a few people loitering inside. There were samplings and a plethora of different salami’s, cheeses, dried herbs, etc. The shelves looked a bit dusty but i didnt mind. My mind was on what size olive oil I wanted to lug home. I was about to opt for the large jug but then i find out they only take cash.bummer. I didnt even have a buck on me but the bestie bought me a bottle :) I would’ve been sad to walk out without any.
As we were leaving, i noticed they had some beef stick jerkey for sale so we got the kids one each. They basically fought over it when they had a chance to try it. Best beef stick they have ever had is the exact wording. So go for the olive oil and the pepperoni beef sticks.
4 stars! (5 if they decide to take cc’s in the future)

Is it weird of me to say if you only go to one place in wine country go here?
This place is a total hole in the wall, thankfully untouched by the thousands of tourists that plague wine country (myself included).
The girl running this small shop (more like barn) was very helpful and friendly. She let us sample a number of olive oils and vinegars. I ended up getting the Balsamic Vinegar but regret not getting the big gallon of Olive Oil. The picture of the original owners who came from Italy is still on the wall and the business has remained in the family ever since. It was very refreshing to hear her yell to the back room for a family member in Italian.
Although I did not try any they do have a number of cheeses and sausages. As the sign says — please do not handle the cheeses — we got a good laugh out of this. They also have this amazing focaccia bread (comes from a bakery in south city), there are a few different types but my favorite is the artichoke and cheese.
CASH ONLY (who carries around a checkbook anymore?)

We stopped here on the recommendations of several friends who just raved about the olive oil and the cured meats.
We got there just as the were closing on a Tuesday afternoon. The business works on cash and check only, so we were a bit short for our purchase of cheese, salami and olive oil However they handed us a business card and let us buy on a handshake promise to have the 20 dollars in the mail as soon as we could. To have that happen in this day and age was a wonderful surprise! (and yes, the check was in the mail the next day.)
The olive oil is wonderful and my husband loved the salami and cheese. I’ve used the oil in several batches of pesto already and I’m very pleased with the results. Everything we purchased was high quality and delicious.
We’ll be coming back soon!

This should be your must-​stop location when driving through Napa. It has:
an adorable picnic area
top notch olive oil at inexpensive (for the amazing product it is) prices
delicious cured meats, cheeses, bread
Add to that a relaxed farmhouse feel and easy parking!

I truly believe this is a very hidden gem in Wine Country that’s been around for years for those who know about it. The Lucchesi Family has been in this location for years (Wifey went to school with their daughters) and quality and consistency in their product hasn’t changed since day one.
Aside from some of the tastiest extra virgin olive oils, and balsamic vinegars of different sizes and flavors, you can find just about anything and everything to create a tasty Italian feast. Cheeses, Salami, Olives, Pastas, Polenta, canned items, beverages and many, many more. Local residents have continuously supported this family run business year after year, and once you’ve sampled the goods here, you may just forget about other similar shops and delis in the area.
After sampling their oils and vinegars, I went with a killer threesome of their Truffle Oil, Blood Orange Oil, and ADDICTING Peach Balsamic Vinegar. All I need now is a nice baguette to enjoy them as is. Cash and personal checks only… ALOHA!!!
