About The Olive Oil Source

The Olive Oil Source, owned by Shawn and Antoinette Addison, based in California, strives to be and is recognized internationally as the most comprehensive resource for products, trends, and information on everything related to olive oil. Whether you are a producer seeking information on the latest equipment, a retailer of olive oil related products, or an olive oil lover, our goal is to have everything but the olive available for you. The Olive Oil Source website was originally developed as a reliable resource for information about growing olive trees and producing olive oil. Starting to sell products was a natural segue as we also grow and maintain olive orchards, and mill and produce olive oil in California (formerly in France as well). In fact, we opened the first modern olive oil mill in Santa Barbara County. While Shawn and Antoinette both have graduate degrees from the Food Research Institute at Stanford University, it is their further work in real-world business and their experience as farmers and millers that inform decisions at the Olive Oil Source. Our product selection process is highly critical as we set the bar against one simple question, “Would we purchase this for our own operation or ingestion?” It is through these lenses that The Olive Oil Source brings you the best wholesale olive oils and olive oil making equipment in the world, along with premium vinegars, at exceptional values.
