In my tiny New York City kitchen, I began experimenting. Different peppers. Different spices. Different balances of heat, sweetness, and texture. Slowly, the recipes became something I reached for every single day. Friends started asking for jars. Then more friends. Then friends of friends. At some point it stopped being a hobby and started being something else entirely.

Only Olive exists to make pantry staples the way they should have been all along. Real ingredients. Proper oils. Nothing you can't pronounce.

No seed oils. No fillers. No shortcuts.

Just condiments that make you excited to cook dinner on a Tuesday. Canola never stood a chance.

Made with heart, from our kitchen to yours.

It started with a jar.

Only Olive began the way most good things do, quietly, at home, slightly obsessed, trying to make something better.

I had been cooking more, paying closer attention to what was actually in the condiments I used every day. Seed oils, gums, preservatives, refined sugars. They were everywhere, even in the foods that felt like they didn’t belong. The more I paid attention, the harder it became to look away.

Olive oil was the ingredient I trusted most. It had flavor, history, and a kind of integrity that others different.

So I did what any reasonable person would do: I stopped buying condiments and started making my own.

FAQ

Because it tastes better. Simple as that.
Olive oil brings real flavor, depth, and richness to a condiment. It’s an ingredient that’s been trusted in cooking for generations, and it allows the other ingredients in the jar to shine the way they’re supposed to.
Many condiments today rely on highly refined seed oils that are industrially processed to be inexpensive and neutral in flavor. We chose olive oil because it’s less processed, more flavorful, and more aligned with how we believe food should be made.
It’s the foundation of everything we do.
However you want.
Spoon it over eggs, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, pasta, pizza, or sandwiches. Stir it into rice, drizzle it over proteins, or eat it straight from the jar.
It’s designed to be something you reach for every day.
Our products are shelf-stable and designed to live happily in your pantry until opened. Once you open a jar, be sure to store it in the fridge to keep it fresh.
Because we use real olive oil.
Olive oil naturally responds to temperature. When it’s cooler, it thickens. When it’s warmer, it becomes more fluid. This doesn’t affect quality or flavor - it’s simply a reflection of using a real, minimally processed oil. Give it a stir and let is sit at room temperature for a few minutes to warm up.
Both.
You can cook with it, drizzle it, or use it as a finishing condiment. Olive oil makes it especially versatile, whether you're adding flavor at the end or building it into a dish from the start.
It starts with the oil.
Most chili crisps use neutral seed oils as a base. Only Olive uses olive oil, along with real spices and simple ingredients, to create something deeper, richer, and more alive.
The difference is immediately noticeable.
No.
Only Olive is made with olive oil, real spices, and simple ingredients. Nothing unnecessary.
