Barbara was so sweet and warm and welcoming. My friends and I were visiting from out of town and she was so fun and knowledgeable with all the hot tips on how to pair them. 12/10 service, and the olive oil was tasty too. Come for the olive oil, stay for the Barbara. read more

Suzanne was the sweetest gal! I think she said she has been there for 12 years now. She offered us to tour their processing plant with her guiding the way. Then she offered her expertise in all the olive oil tastings. There was no doubt she knew her olive oil. My wife and I had a wonderful time there. We joined the no-obligation, no-cost club there which allowed a 15% discount to our order. I recommend this place as a nice time to learn and enjoy authentic olive oil. read more

What an amazing experience! I never had tasting for olive oil but I had so much fun! We didn't make any reservation but the server got us a table right away . We got to taste so many different oils and balsamic vinegar. We loved everything we tasted so became a memberz read more

Okay, so we're in the midst of wine tasting and we come to this one place thinking we'll be getting more wine. As we open the door we notice a sign disclaiming no wine tasting today, just olive oil tasting. I'm intrigued. There's no one in the shop at all. So for a while it's super quiet. We're looking around and then all of a sudden someone comes out from the back. It's the owner apologizing for not hearing us come in the door. She was working on an order for a wedding. Apparently, the bride and groom had ordered individual bottles for wedding favors and they were trying to figure out how to ship them to Chicago. Well, not too long after, another couple came in the door just as the owner was getting ready to talk to us about tasting olive oil. There were several different olive oils displayed with bits of bread. Plus, there were marinated olives stuffed with either cheese, garlic, and something else I don't quite remember anymore. Each of the olive oils we tasted were very yummy. We even tasted some with citrus essence in the (orange, tangerine, lemon, and maybe another kind). We learned that you could mix one of the flavored olive oils with honey as a spread for english muffins. This was absolutely yummy. They also had some other things available for purchase such as lotions, dry spice rubs, etc. The owner also took us on a guided tour of the facility showing us where they render the olive oil. Get this, they actually put the labels on by hand. That's the type of family run business this is. It's very small, but has a huge following. We've seen their products in Pomona (where we live) as well as featured in the cuisine of restaurants in the Paso Robles area. We went online to look them up after we got home and saw that they are a premier olive oil company in the United States if not the world. We were totally impressed by the tasting we received. In fact, the owner's daughters made an appearance at one point and helped their mom with pouring us tastes of olive oil. It was so cute. Don't pass up the opportunity to stop here if you want a break from wine tasting. You won't be sorry. read more

My friends and I decided to swing by Pasolivo to break up our Paso Robles winery tour. We had so much fun at this cute shop! We grabbed small baggies of bread provided by Pasolivo and tasted the delicious flavored olive oils (my favorite was the tangerine olive oil) and vinegars (my favorites were the raspberry basil, pomegranate, and the reserve viognier vinegars). Pasolivo also carries a variety of spice blends and seasonings. The truffle salt was delicious -- full of black truffle flavor! We were also fans of the olive oil products. I bought a few olive oil citrus scented soaps, and my friends purchased the meyer lemon olive oil hand cream. They also had these fun milk chocolates that were colored and shaped to look like mini stuffed green olives. All in all, the flavored olive oil is pricey at $25.00 per unit. The store-bought olive oils at Pasolvo come in such beautiful tins, making them great gifts for your foodie friends. read more

This is a great place to stop in between winery after winery, just as you are about to fall over in an alcohol-induced stupor. You basically walk around the room with a small free bag of bread and sample olive oils, spices, balsamics, and spreads. Their olive oil runs about $25 ($6 for a small sample bottle), which may seem pricey, but they are truly tasty. We got the lemon one, which I imagine we'd use in salads and such. We also got some truffle salt, which I plan on using for popcorn. It was a bit pricey ($12), but very tasty.. and I don't think a lot is needed to bring out the flavor. Staff was super friendly! read more

Their olive oil tasting is a welcome change of pace during a day of wine tastings in Paso. They're always friendly, and often extremely generous with the amount of spices and oils they'll let you taste. I've been buying their spice blends for years, and love cooking with them. I particularly recommend their spicy Italian and Tuscan blends. Their olive oil is excellent too, as are their balsamic vinegars. Can't recommend them enough. read more

A great place to treat your palette to something other than wine. Stopped in here after visiting 3 wineries and so glad we did. The service was what we have come to expect in Paso - super friendly and genuinely excited to share their product with you. Some beautiful olive oils and paired with some of the spices they had on offer. It was hard to walk away empty handed. A must stop for anyone visiting Paso Robles read more

Love great olive oil and salts and body lotions! We had a lovely time here!

This is a major treat for olive oil lovers. Every product they sell in here is the stuff of legend. Delicious flavor combinations and great recipe tips for ever olive oil in stock. When you come in, you get a plate and can add different spices and spiced salts to then mix with the olive oils and sop up with bread. This is like a kid getting all access to the candy store. The prices are up there, but to get something from the source like this, and so well done and tasty, well I'd say it's all worth it. This place will always be a must-stop when in Paso Robles wine country. read more

Amazing experience! I came here while diverting off the normal wine tour itinerary. Our tour guide was nice enough to suggest an olive oil tasting and we ended up at Pasolivo..... also the best part of the whole tour. They had multiple flavors of olive oil to try and they provide you with bread to do so. This experience included sampling spices to go with the olive oil. Every single one was very flavorful and fragrant. You could also make some great spice/oil combos. The shop itself had a lot to offer. The merchandise was high quality and local. I made a few Christmas present purchases as well as buying myself Rosemary Olive Oil. Yum! The staff were very helpful and extremely nice. You must make a stop here. No cell reception up here so keep that in mind in case you lose track of time sampling and buying up the place! read more

This place is actually the Willow Creek Olive ranch, which is also listed on Yelp and someone else reviewed. Pasolivo is the name of their flagship oil. A correction on this review. They are known for their fabulous Italian blend oil Pasolivo. They also do several flavored oils by mixing in fruit peels during the crush (not adding flavor after as many flavored oils are). Lan may know oils well especially Cretian, however, I find the Pasolivo blend a truly remarkable and unique oil. It is one of the strongest and most intense oils from California I have ever had. In a very good way. Strong pepper finish with a fine fruit flavor on the front end. It makes most "Italian" oils you get at the market taste like Crisco. Try the Nuevo Oil, fresh pressed and unfiltered, it is really nice. For something a little less strong, try the California oil, it is more buttery and less pepper. The citrus infused oils are great on salads and fish dishes. You friend won't be able to figure out the secret to you making such great food. Can you tell I love this oil? read more

I don't normally get excited by oil tastings, but this place is different! First off, the entire thing is FREE, which is amazing. Every person gets a small bag of fresh baked bread to use for the oil tastings. You get to try the plain olive oils first, then the flavored oils paired with salts/seasonings. They also let you try the pickled vegetables, mustards, and other things in jars that are for sale. Everything was fantastic, and I became especially obsessed with the truffle salt. The prices are high, but everything is very high quality. After the tasting, you can take a tour of the olive mill/press area, which is really cool to see. read more

Delicious olive oils and spices - a super friendly crew. Highly recommend the place!

This was a gem of a place to find. Suzanne provided us with excellent customer service and provided us with a short tour as well. The olive oil itself is amazing and how you are encouraged to pair their salts and spice blends takes your taste buds on an adventure. The grounds are beautiful and so is the drive on the way. Definitely recommend! It so worth it! read more

Pasolivo Ranch - View outside - Olive Oil Near Me - Paso Robles, California

This rating is for the olive oil tasting which was so much fun. They will pour you about 12 different types of olive oil, educate you on how they are made and the best way to use them and combine them with some delicious vinegars and spice rubs to consider. You can join their olive oil club for free and get three deliveries a year, each with your choice of items. We chose the citrus olive oil (awesome with veggies or grilled fish) and some olive oil soap but their spice rubs and vinegars are of the highest quality. A great treat to visit the farm and a great gift for someone who likes to cook with quality ingredients. read more

Great olive oil tasting and tour experience here. Walked in, grabbed our ready to go bread pack (FREE!) and headed towards the olive oil stations. We were met by friendly and knowledgeable staff who poured the olive oil for us (use your bread you got to dip!). Then there was a tour of the back area where they make the olive oil--it was short and informative, a definite must do (again, FREE!) read more

I always enjoy coming here to taste olive oil, however the olive oil is very expensive.

Delicious olive oil and the best basil olive oil I have ever had. I've ordered the club online for a Christmas gift two years in a row and both times the shipping took 4 months and several calls. As much as I love the oil, the shipping and operations need some help. I'll need to look elsewhere, I prefer not to spend my time following up on every shipment! read more

When you are spending a full day wine tasting, its nice to take a little break and do some olive oil tastings. They are famous for their flavored olive oils - tangerine, lime, lemon, orange. I really didn't like their olive oil because I think its too earthy and I think I was eating olive oil branches rather than the olives. I've been to Crete, Greece, the king of olive oils and I just love the Greek kind soooo much better. But this place is also a really cute, gourmet shop full of soaps, lotions, tablecloths, dishes, cookbooks, vinegars, etc. Its definitely a nice break from all the wine tasting. I bought a jar of pickled olives stuffed with garlic and a jar of Oprah's favorite honey - Branches honey made from Katz and Co. in Napa Valley (www.katzandco.com) Even though I only give it 3 stars, its a must stop if you are wine tasting in Paso. Plus, you can just play with their dog "Olive" who has a tennis ball in his mouth ready to play! read more

Hmmm...I thought this place was called Pasolivo but I guess per the other reviews, Pasolivo is the name of their olive oil. Some of the olive oils were fantastic and light; great for dipping bread in, but others were bitter, lip curling, and definitely more of an acquired taste. I would cook with it, but probably not use it for salads. Definitely enjoyed the Citrus olive oil the best, followed by the Lime olive oil. Unfortunately, the olive oils were way too expensive for me to spend $40 on a decent size jar. This was a pleasant way to break up the winery blitzkrieg over the two days. read more

The drive to this olive oil farm is so scenic. The golden rolling hills, vineyards and the large trees lining the winding roads were relaxing and quite romantic. This drive was more relaxing and beautiful than the drives I've taken in Sonoma or Napa Valley. Perhaps it's because there's no one tail-gating me or pressuring me to move along... The sign outside of this place and their business card has the name of Pasolivo, so perhaps it was a recent name change? The place was more rustic than I had imagined, but it had a rustic charm. The property is huge with an olive orchard, large trees and rolling hills. There is a very large old barn just outside next to the parking lot. The building where the olive oil tasting takes place is a very small white cottage-like building, painted in white. The ladies that work at the place were very friendly and chatty. They walked us through the 3 types of non-flavored olive oils as we were tasting them. The olive oils were good, but were a bit too grassy and bitter for my taste. They were also quite pricey (I think it was around $40+ or so per bottle). The flavored olive oil was more tasty. The flavors came in Lemon, Lime, Tangerine and also one called Citrus (mixed of all 3). The flavor was nice and perhaps the citrus rind took away some of the grassy bitterness of the olive oil. The lady also added some honey to our lime olive oil to create a dip for the bread....it tasted really good. We ended up buying a small lime flavored olive oil ($18). If you're in Paso and would like to mix things up a bit in between vineyards, this is a good place to get some bread and olive oil in you before you move on to the next vineyard. Try the citrus oils with honey. It's great. read more

Do you self a favor, take a break from wine tasting and visit this lovely little farm. This was not my first experience at an olive farm. They really do a fantastic job. Sue was our server/taste guru. She was wonderful. They have many different types of oils, spices and fantastic vinegars. It was a lovely little stop we happened across while wine tasting. I am so glad we stopped. Beautiful surroundings and great people Thanks for a memorable day read more

Was recommended by a friend, whose kids thought that this was one of the coolest parts of their trip. Vineyard Drive winds for miles thru the boonies, and we almost gave up, but they insist that it's only about 7 miles. It seems like a lot longer when you don't know where you're going. Nice tasting room. As others have said, they give you a bag of bread cubes to dip into the various samples that they pour for you. Even though they tell you that olive oil is supposed to be bitter, I went for the milder Spanish blend. The white balsamic is mild and sweet. Really like one of the tapenades. Tried the various salts as well. The truffle salt has an intense truffle flavor. Comes in $4 and $14 bags. We joined their "Press Club" that sends you 2 shipments of product a year, and gives you a 15% discount on what you purchase at the store or online. If you're in the area, and like olive oil, it's worth the trip. You also pass a lot of wine tasting places, so it can be a fun trip. Expensive, but fun. Figure on about $25 for a small can of olive oil. Friendly and helpful staff. read more

This place is awesome! So I've been to other olive oil tasting rooms and alot of them are just whatever.. sure they have samples if you'd like but the bread is usually stale and u really dont get the vibe you shoudl try all that much. This place is different.. its like a wine tasting but w olive oil. The women that work there are really nice and they will take you through the whole process. You pick up your bag of french bread ( nice and fresh) then they will pour and explain each of the olive oils to you. We ate SO much lol it was like a mini lunch! I am going to say that this is probably the best olive oil Ive tried.. we bought their original( not for cooking for eating) and I am probably getting fat everyday as I dip bread w that olive oil.. but I dont care .. its SO good! Also got their tapenade and some olives for the road. everythign is delicious defintiely a place to check out! PS they don't allow dogs in here for obvious reasons but there is a little bench outside you can tie your furry friend to.. side story: um I totally thought my dog ran away or something because we tied him up and when i went to check on him he wasnt on the ground. I panicked but then saw his blue leash I look out and see him seated on the pillows on top of the bench staring out into the trees like a little man. =) the end. read more

Delicious and most interesting Olive Oil Tasting. A MUST when visiting Paso Robles! Great gift ideas for anyone who enjoys food. They have great recipe ideas too. Looking forward to using my products that I purchased. They also have delicious Flavored Sea Salts like TRUFFLE! Love the infused Olive Oils like Basil & Lavender & Lemon (never need to worry about having fresh lemons on hand for cooking fish!) read more

I had such an amazing time in this cute little olive oil tasting room a month ago. It far exceeded my expectations of what a complimentary tasting would be. First of all, the drive along this road is so beautiful and I spotted a little family of deer peeking out from the trees. The tasting room had just emptied out when I arrived in a panic because I had left my credit card at the winery I had just been to. They kindly let me use their phone to call over there since there was no cell phone reception. Once I got that out of the way, Eleanor, who was awesome, proceeded to walk me through the tasting. There was a section with colorful spice and herb blends, such as dukkah and lavender, that you put on your plate with a little spoon. Then she took me to the flavored salts, including black lava, truffle and ghost pepper, where you add more spoonfuls to your plate. Once you have your painter's palette ready, you move over to the olive oils :-) They have several kinds of regular olive oils and a section of flavored olive oils. And they're organic! Once I grabbed my little bag of bread to dip with, Eleanor went through each of the oils with me and recommended which spices and salts they go best with. The flavors were amazing. She also gave me many interesting ideas on how to cook or season with them. There were also dressings that they had made up with the oils, spices and vinegars if you wanted to sample those as well. I loved the rosemary and basil olive oils but the lemon, lime and tangerine ones were quite interesting too. After the oils, there were balsamic vinegars that you could try as well and they were sampling olives at that time too. What a treat! I was almost relieved I had left my credit card behind or I would have spent a fortune! But the good news is that everything is available online! read more

Writing about Italian restaurants reminded me that I wanted to recommend the Olive Oil from this ranch. OMG- I'm of the school that believes a drop of the right olive oil can make or break a dish and Pasolivo is so unbelievably delicious. My friend Johnny Mac gave me 3 bottles as a gift and now I'm hooked. One is lime, one is orange and one is plain. Can a person become addicted to olive oil ? If so- I guess it's happened to me. You have GOT to try it. ( Uh oh- reading other reviews I see it's kind of expensive. I didn't even send a thank you card- just called and told him how much I loved it. Now I feel bad. It really lasts for a long time though- so it's worth it if you love great olive oil) Going a bit OT here- everybody is crazy about Paso Robles lately. Note to self: Plan trip. read more

My husband and I were in the Cambria area recently and took a little side trip to Pasolivo. We loved it! The drive there is pretty (although you really have to watch out for people on bikes) and the tasting room did not disappoint. The staff really knew their stuff and the olive oils and salts we tried were spectacular. They explained everything and were helpful without being pushy. We were there fairly early in the day and the grounds were serene and lovely. The olive oil isn't cheap but we picked a couple of bottles because it was so good. We'll be back! read more

Wow! We had such a fantastic time here. They treat you to a wonderful experience in the flavors of their olive oils. My husband even got to experience the "Olive oil cough". Check it out yourself its quite the adventure. We also joined the club we were so impressed. Can't wait til our first shipment. read more

I had a wonderful time at the ranch! The drive was beautiful and so was the ranch. Maddie gave my sister and I a wonderful tasting and was very knowledgeable on the products. She gave us awesome recommendations on vinegar, spice, and oil combinations! She also helped us with recognizing flavors and ways to apply the different oils to cooking scenarios. I am obsessed with the spicy Italian blend and the red jalapeño olive oil! All around great experience! Thank you Maddie and Pasolivo, for the great time and high quality products! read more

I have gone to Pasolivo twice now. It was a fun experience and the service was excellent. I love the olive oil and vinegars.

I had a great experience! Suzanne was such a nice and caring women. Everything tastes great and I highly recommend this place!!

We love it here! We stocked up on our California olive oil, aged balsamic vinegar(the best ever with their olive oil) and spicy Italian seasoning. Everyone is so nice there! Their olive oil is seriously the best! The tastings are great to with their bread and little waters! read more

What can I say, this place is great for a snack between wine tastings! OK, that's not all they're good for but it is a nice way to reset your palate between wineries. For me, I love olive oil and was surprised and happy to see so many included in the tasting. First, you start by grabbing a place and adding their flavored salts and seasonings to it. I loaded mine up with enough of each to taste them all with each oil without wasting too much. My favorites were the spicy italian, the curry, the ghost chile salt, and the truffle salt. I ended up buying the spicy italian seasoning and will be back for the truffle salt. Who doesn't love truffle salt!?!?! From the seasonings and salts, you move onto the olive oil tasting. You get a bag of sourdough bread with which to taste each oil. They suggested, as do I, that you try each oil alone and then again with the seasonings they direct you towards. Each piece of bread easily got two dips out of it, and you'll need them all. My favorite olive oils were the extra virgin, the lime, the tangerine, the rosemary, and the basil. After you've tasted the oils, you move on to the grand finale of tapenades, mustards, and balsamic vinegars. Good god were all of them good! We didn't actually try the balsamics because the rest of my party grabbed what they wanted to buy and moved on without the balsamic tasting. We all agreed that the spicy mustard was to die for. I had the bacon mustard and bought that in addition to the spicy mustard. The tapenades were all very good. The lady who helped us was very friendly and knowledgeable, directing us to her favorite salt/seasoning pairings with each oil. She was great! read more

Great, homey tasting room with lots of super products. The place to go for olive oil.

We stopped in immediately created by Susan. She is so sweet. She showed us around the shop. Pointed out things that their olive oils is used to make. Like soaps. We did an olive tasting with her. Who knew there were so many different olive oils? I didn't! Very informative. Helped us pair olive oils with seasonings, with some vinegars. Told us what some are better used with as far as poultry, beef, pork or seafood. Even dessert. We left there with a few things. Importantly knowledge!Thank you for your hospitality. Everything was great. read more

Oh dear, what have I done? I fell in love with the lemon, lime, and rosemary olive oils. Along with some seasonings, and the avocado soap. They are all coming home with me so we can all live happy ever after or until they disappear. read more

This place was a lot of fun. Not only do they have some great oil, the person working there was helpful and informative. She explained each of the oils and poured samples to taste. It was like a wine tasting, only with olive oils. The tasting room was very clean and organized. The grounds and parking is spacious. read more
