KINGSTON OLIVE OIL COMPANY is a local, family-owned specialty food shop dedicated to bringing you the freshest extra virgin olive oil and authentic barrel-aged balsamics. We follow your interests while bringing a world focus to our kitchen-tested home menus, healthy eating options and the joy of gift-giving. If you can't get to one of our stores, we make online ordering easy peasy.

We celebrate artisanal products from around the world including Canada and our own local neighbourhood. Our EVOOs come from Spain, Italy, Portugal, Australia, Peru, Greece and Chile — harvested and pressed in their country of origin only weeks before they arrive on your table. Our renowned barrel-aged balsamics come directly from Modena, Italy. And our hand-crafted sea salts from our own Pacific Coast. Join us in supporting local business!

Drizzled or glugged, the silken qualities of olive oil and aged balsamic are a gift to the home cook. Click on "Recipes" to find a menu item. Or enter an item of interest into the SEARCH BOX in the upper right corner. You can search recipes by oil, balsamic, ingredient or category (main, pasta, dessert...)

Substituting butter or vegetable oil in your recipe with healthy *fresh extra virgin olive oil is a game changer in almost all baking. For most traditional cakes, cookies, squares and all kinds of crusts for sweet and savoury pies and tarts, EVOO is better than butter. Easier to measure and mix. Makes for a moister texture that lasts for days longer than baked goods prepared with butter. And gives you peace of mind knowing that you're baking without animal or processed fats.

The Health Centre is where we gather the research behind what you already feel in your kitchen. Not lab talk. Not trend talk. Just clear, readable summaries of the studies, data and expert reports that explain why cooking, baking and finishing with fresh EVOO and quality balsamics is more than flavour. It’s a daily habit that performs. Think of this as your reference shelf: evidence made simple, so you can cook with confidence and understand the good work you’re doing every time you reach for the bottle.

We're committed to sustainable practices for you and for the world. Our oils and balsamics are sourced from small farms and shipped to us in large containers, not in pre-filled bottles. We store them in large "fustis" until each glass bottle is ready to be hand filled. While we're not a recycling depot, when you return your clean and sanitized bottles, we'll refill them with the oil or balsamic of your choice and a 10% discount on your refilled bottle at checkout. Our tasting cups are now 100% compostable. Our Canadian sea salts are hand-harvested. Our spices are sourced directly from small growers. We pack orders in paper bags at checkout. We ship in recyclable cardboard.

We're discovering more ways to minimize plastics, maximize ways to reduce landfill waste, and to sell products from eco-friendly farms and local artisanal creators. Thank-you for your support!
