An Olive Oil & Balsamic Experience Unlike Any Other
Taste Before You Buy
At Pressed for Vine, shopping is an experience, not a transaction. Our tasting bar lets you sample our full selection of extra virgin olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars before committing to a bottle. Guided by our knowledgeable staff, you'll discover the nuanced flavours that set a cold-pressed Arbequina apart from a robust Koroneiki, or learn why an 18-year aged dark balsamic transforms a simple salad into something extraordinary.
No pressure. No rush. Just pure, delicious discovery.
Premium Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils
At Pressed for Vine, we proudly offer a rotating collection of Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils sourced from carefully selected groves in some of the world's most celebrated olive-growing regions, including Italy, Spain, Greece, Chile, Australia, Portugal, California, and beyond. Because olive harvests occur at different times around the world, our selection changes seasonally, allowing us to offer some of the freshest extra virgin olive oils available year-round.
Unlike many commercially produced olive oils, our oils are harvested early in the season while the olives are still green. Although this yields less oil, it produces exceptional flavour, vibrant aromas, and naturally high levels of beneficial polyphenols—the antioxidants that contribute to both the oil's character and quality.
To preserve that freshness, the olives are crushed within hours of harvest, helping to capture the bright, peppery, and complex flavours that define truly exceptional extra virgin olive oil.
Our collection includes oils ranging from delicate and buttery to bold, robust, and peppery, allowing you to discover the perfect match for your cooking style.
You'll also find an extensive selection of naturally infused and fused olive oils, including customer favourites like Garlic, Basil, Persian Lime, Blood Orange, Tuscan Herb, Chipotle, and many more.
Whether you're finishing a simple pasta, roasting vegetables, dipping fresh bread, or creating an unforgettable vinaigrette, there's an olive oil waiting to inspire your next meal.

Why Freshness Matters
Freshness is one of the most important factors in exceptional olive oil.
Unlike wine, olive oil does not improve with age. Its freshest flavours and aromas are found soon after harvest, which is why we source oils from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. As each hemisphere begins its harvest, our collection rotates, allowing us to offer fresh Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils throughout the year.
Every olive oil we carry is carefully selected for its quality, freshness, and flavour profile, giving you confidence that you're tasting olive oil the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
Aged Balsamic Vinegars
Our aged balsamic vinegars are a world away from the thin, acidic bottles found on grocery store shelves. Sourced from Modena, Italy, our balsamics are thick, complex, and naturally sweet — aged in wooden barrels for years to develop their signature depth.
Explore our selection of:
- Traditional dark balsamics — rich, syrupy, and perfect for glazes, reductions, and desserts
- White balsamics — lighter and more delicate, ideal for vinaigrettes and shrubs
- Specialty Vinegars — Champagne, red wine & Lambrusco, to name a few
A drizzle of the right balsamic doesn't just dress a salad — it tells a story.
The Refillable Bottle Program
At Pressed for Vine, we're committed to sustainability without sacrificing style. Our refillable bottle program lets you bring back your clean & dry bottles to be refilled with your favourite oils and vinegars — saving money, reducing waste, and keeping your pantry stocked with the flavours you love.
It's gourmet living, done responsibly.
