Award winning in international competitions, all of Joëlle Olive Oils are unfiltered, extra virgin, and date-stamped for year of production. All of our bottles are clear glass so that the beautiful golden color of the oil can be seen. The eight types offered are described below.

Mission

Available in: 375 decanter, 750 decanter, and 1 gallon jug

    This is the same variety of olive that was brought to California by the Franciscans and is now found lining the streets in many cities along the California coast. Mission olive oil is the most classic in flavor with mild, buttery, almost sweet attributes. It has multipurpose uses and can substitute whenever a recipe calls for vegetable oil, as in cake mixes. Does not overwhelm whatever you’re cooking, but rather enhances flavors and gives foods a richer taste.  Mission oil has won several medals in fairs and other competitions over the years and is Nonni’s favorite.

Mission/Manzanillo Blend

A lovely marriage of the more spicy Manzanillo and the more buttery, mellow Mission oils. This is a hit with everyone! Excellent for frying chicken or fish, lovely in salads, drizzled on vegetables, and altogether delicious for dipping with crusty bread.  The Blend consistently wins gold medals, is our best seller and Janet’s favorite.

Barouni

    Picked fully ripe, this is a large olive primarily used for home curing, thus the Barouni olive oil is difficult to find. The oil has an unusual nutty or smoky taste and a nice hot kick at the back of the throat. It is a multi-use oil that is very special and much loved by return customers. A multi-use oil that is very special and much loved by return customers.  Also an award-winner, Barouni is Norman’s favorite.Like the Mission and the Barouni, the Late Harvest Manzanillo is picked and pressed ripe, that is mostly purple in color. Also piquant, grassy, and peppery, this is a more mild and smoother than Early Harvest Manzanillo. This is good for all uses, sautéing, dipping, making your favorite salad dressing or your favorite Italian dishes.  Also a multiple award winner, customers are moving up to this more spicy culinary adventure. This is Michael’s favorite.
