Fantastic service above and beyond!!! Thank you so much Eden first class product and service!!

We had so much fun tasting all of the different vinegar with club soda to make some really refreshing drinks wonderful staff we will come again read more

I like tasting the variety of oils and vinegars. I will definitely go back. I did purchase several of the small bottles to try at home.

This shop is a treasure! I booked a seated tasting for a group of six ladies. The owner, Preeti, was super helpful in creating a wonderful experience for my friends and me! She and her daughter are so nice and created such a fun private event for us! They also prepared a delicious light lunch using the quality olive oils and balsamic vinegars they sell and educating us all about the health benefits of these products. This is not the same as the typical products sold at grocery store and definitely worth the splurge! They sell so many flavors of both olive oil & balsamic as well as other ingredients and super nice gift bundles too! We all took advantage of the opportunity to shop for ourselves and gifts with the discount they offer with the tasting. Highly recommend checking them out! I will be a repeat customer! read more

What's going on with the new bags? They're so ugly. You have three greens going on now. The bags used to be a beautiful bright green with black. Now the tissue paper, the handles and the bag are all different colors of green that do not match and quite honestly look...gross. They used to be nice gift bags and now they're embarrassing to give. Considering the over priced oils and vinegars that you can buy directly from their supplier, you'd think they would take more consideration into their packaging and try to make it look a little more classy than three greens thrown together. What a disappointment. read more

Best olive oil you can ever get. They have a beautiful store in Mission Viejo mall and the choices are plenty. I can't cook anymore without my Olive oil. Love this and highly recommend it. read more

Found this shop in the mall unexpectedly. We sampled different salts, olive oils, and balsamic vinegars. We cooked our favorite steak and fell in love. Veolett is a wonderful host!! One of Orange County's Hidden Gems!!! read more

AWESOME selection of vinegars and oils. Their selection is mostly infused, but thankfully they offer tiny little cups for you to sample each and every one. I love that you can really discern each individual flavor. For example, the dark chocolate one certainly was chocolately, but it wasn't overpowering or too subtle. My wife and I bought 3 750mL bottles and got a 200mL bottle for free thanks to their promotion. We ended up getting one of their newer oils (thyme and something else), a traditional 18 year old aged balsamic, and a pomegranate balsamic. And of course, as a hot head, I got their green chili olive oil for the free bottle. It is noticeably spicy, but not super. It really did taste like fresh green chilis too! Can't wait to use it as a finishing oil. Another oil that really stood out to me was their Japanese roasted sesame oil. The moment I smelled it, I could tell this was some real gourmet shit. Nutty, sesame-y, and toasty. It tasted exactly like how it smelled. Unfortunately I still have half a can of sesame oil left at home, otherwise I would've picked up a bottle, in addition to our other 4. This would go GREAT with some Hainan chicken and rice, or congee. I'm not sure why the review from N K is so needlessly pretentious. Did they not notice the EVOO they had in the center of the store? They had several options to choose from, as well as a regular traditional balsamic too. "UGH! Suburbia. Pfft, I'm from LA. I'm soOOoOoOooOo much better than you suburbanites *sips $25 smoothie from Erewhon*" Anyway, I can finally stop hearing about 41 Olive from my wife. I blame her cousin for bringing her here. But now I won't have to hear about coming here anymore! Thankfully they ship. The trip from Anaheim to Mission Viejo certainly puts the MISSION in Mission Viejo. read more

The American mall is dying slowly, painfully, and in full view of anyone who bothers to look up from their phone. Ghosts of Banana Republics past haunt the halls. Once-familiar storefronts now replaced by names you don't recognize and concepts you don't quite understand. Even the upscale Mission Viejo Mall, with its soft jazz ambiance and brushed aluminum fixtures, hasn't been spared. Tucked between the fading giants and fast fashion is 41 Olive, a silver canister-lined curiosity of a shop that, for years, I walked past without a second thought. It looked too polished, too curated--like something that sold overpriced lotions or flavored air. But on a lazy Saturday, we wandered in. Maybe it was the lighting. Maybe we just had time to kill. Inside, the layout is clinical. A slick, stainless steel temple to olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Each dispenser offers a tiny tasting cup, a ritual more akin to communion than commerce. Blood orange, lemon, fig--bright, vibrant, unexpected. Suddenly, we're not in a mall anymore. We're two kids in a candy store, debating the fate of each flavor: over a salad? On pizza? Ice cream? It's surprisingly... fun. The place feels out of place, like a Roman trattoria set down in the food court of late-stage capitalism. We were the only customers, but they've been here for years, which means someone out there is quietly fueling their kitchen with jalapeño olive oil and aged black cherry balsamic. We left with the blood orange. It's a knockout, acidic, punchy, the kind of bottle you find yourself reaching for again and again. But not everything landed. The staff? Two young women, bored and buried in some conversation far more interesting than any we were having. Not rude. Not unkind. Just... uninterested. A missed opportunity to connect. A spark that never caught. Still, I'll be back. Because in a world of dying malls and soulless storefronts, 41 Olive offered something unexpected: flavor, discovery, and the fleeting joy of a damn good drizzle. read more

if you are looking for premium quality olive oils that are infused with yuminess-look no further. I also lone their infused balsamic vinegars. they are located in the Mission Viejo Mall. read more

I love drinking aka sampling different types of specialty vinegars and this is a great new location at the sketchy MV mall. I bought the fig balsamic and love dousing my salad with it, super healthy. I also like the vinegar set I purchased. The salesperson was very helpful and generous with samples and you know how much I love that!! read more

The oils are amazing and the owners are super sweet amazing customer service and the prices are great

Through the years my husband and I having been regular shoppers at 41 Olive. Wonderful variety of high grade olive oils and delicious balsamic vinegars. It's an adventure to shop this beautiful store. It not only has amazing olive oil and balsamic vinegars but also has delicious pasta, toppings for the pasta, and other gourmet treats. Even with the change in ownership the service is great. Helpful, caring, polite. My favorite gourmet store. Thank you for being there. read more

My friend hosted and pre-arranged a private tasting with Preeti for six of us. The beverage (sparkling water), appetizer, salad and entree used some ingredients that could be purchased at the store. For instance, the organic pasta, the oils, vinegars, and olives. I even did some early Christmas shopping. Preeti, the owner, is a trained chef and her creations were easy, delicious, beautiful. You're given a wealth of information and cooking ideas you can easily apply in your own home. Preeti's daughter made our group comfortable (i.e kept our glasses filled, took photos, and answered our questions). It's a very relaxing time to catch up with friends, be served, and shop. What could be a better activity to enjoy with family and friends? read more

One of the crappy things about shopping for anything niche in suburbia is that it's all catered to what I'll call Applebees America. The type of people who think mayonnaise is spicy and who eat at Outback when they want a nice steak. Was looking for specialty olive oils for a gift, and it's basically all infused olive oils and vinegars. That's the only variety you'll find here. Do you want your mystery olive oil infused with thyme? Or infused with basil? Or perhaps infused with lemon? The fact this place exists in the mission Viejo mall should've been a dead giveaway but I had misplaced hope. Giving 3 stars instead of 1 bc the staff were friendly and attentive and bc it's a small business and I feel bad. But you can't fault Applebees for being Applebees. This one was on me for having any faith. Otherwise def read this 3 star review as a 1 star. read more

I've been buying from 41 Olive when they were at the Spectrum, Irvine. Their balsamic is fantastic, and their oils just add that right dip together. Great for holiday gifts, perfect for summer cookouts. 41 Olive is now located at Mission Viejo Mall. Check it out, you'll thank me later!!!! read more

Back to replenish our supply now that we've narrowed down the Olive Oils and Balsalmics to those we can't live without. Violette was as personable and helpful as ever. She even remembered us from our first visit months ago. She mentioned some additional tasting nights and a big off-site Corporate Event coming up soon. Good for them, and what a great idea! We did a little more sampling of flavor combinations that intrigued us. Love those suggested pairing placards at each station. We've definitely enjoyed this flavorful addition to our cuisine. Why did we wait so long? We picked up some 375ml bottles this time on her recommendation and were tempted for even more value with the 750ml size. Next time. We'll be back! read more

Veolet was so knowledgeable, friendly and took extra time to help me make my selections. Wonderful store and experience!

This place was awesome. The store intrigues you to try out all of the different flavors of olive oil and balsamic vinegar they offer and the staff was very friendly. The Olive oil itself is so good. The flavor infusion is strong, we got Garlic and unlike other garlic infused olive oil, this one really tastes like garlic. We also got black currant balsamic vinegar and I hate vinegar. But this one is soooo good. We are going to buy all of our friends bottles since we LOVE this place. Absolutely recommend 5/5. read more

Preeti made a special gift basket and included a lovely card when i needed my gift sent quickly! She did such a nice job and delivery was just as she stated it would be! I'd defiantly frequent this business again form great products the choices are wonderful. read more

The olive oil and vinegars are incredible. I've been a huge fan and customer for over 3 years now when a friend of mine recommended the products to me. It's so fun to go into the store for a true experience. Veolett is absolutely amazing - her knowledge and recommendations are incredible. I learn so much from her every time I go in- she is so personable and helpful. I just went in yesterday with my Mom (for her birthday) and Veolett went out of her way to make it a great experience for us! Thank you, Veolett! read more

Veolett was amazing she asked questions to get to know my preferences and recommended product based on those likes. She was patient, kind, knowledgeable. You can tell she truly cares about the product. She was wonderful at her job even giving me information about shopping to where I live in Las Vegas. The only thing I would say is I wish the company had water or even cucumber water. To help cleanse your mouth in between balsamic vinegars samples. They did have popcorn made with their oil and it was really good. Overall the whole place has a peaceful vibe to it and the store was very clean. Will be shopping here again. read more

We came all the way from Fullerton to get balsamic vinegars! There is no other infused oil or vinegar that compares to the quality here. Veolett is so welcoming and helpful in the store. This is a must-visit store in Orange County! read more

Excellent store. Even though it is a little pricey, their options are absolutely fabulous. The quality of the products are wonderful.

SIX STARS!!! Today I went to this store to buy a birthday gift for a dear friend because I know she loves olive oils, and I was blown away by how many flavors of oil and vinegar they have in their shop! I didn't even know where to begin so amazing Veolett helped me make the most incredible gift box! I bought 10 different oils, balsamic vinegar, and garlic salts. She had the best suggestions and wrapped everything in a beautiful gift box with ribbon and could not have been sweeter! No one has wrapped anything so beautifully in a shop for me in many years! She was so thoughtful and kind! In that moment, I decided I am coming here for all of my gifts! I am also super excited to try them for myself! Hooked! Thank you so much, Veolett and I'll be back soon! Highly highly recommend! read more

41 Olive - Our treasure. - Olive Oil Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I had received an expensive gift from this place one and a half months earlier. I didn't care for the flavored oils and vinegars, so I drove 50 miles to take them back for an exchange. The woman that helped me was very rude and refused to exchange them because I didn't have a purchase receipt, even though the gift was still in all of the original packaging and was fully sealed. She said olive oil is too old after 30 days. If their olive oil is considered old after 30 days, that represents a pretty poor product or bad labeling that doesn't have an expiration date. Also, the location isn't easy to get to, as it is buried inside of a large mall. Save your time and spend your money at a local small business which has friendlier staff and higher quality products. read more

I've been enjoying the wonderful balsamic vinegars for years. I went to the Mission Viejo mall specifically for this store (since they're no longer in Brea) and I'm so glad I did! Veolett was so helpful and sweet and pointed us towards the best flavors (although they are all amazing!!) I am so glad i found Veolett there, because she used to work in Brea as well! Would highly recommend coming here to support this small business. read more

The employees were super great and offered pairings of the olive oils and balsamic vinegars. The bottles range from about 20-30. We ended up getting the Tuscan herb olive oil which was absolutely DELICIOUS. I don't know much about olive oil but I know I'm happy read more
