    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about Old Metairie Olive Oils & Vinegars
    Is cold-pressed olive oil better, and how can you tell?

    Yes — measurably. Cold-pressed (also called cold-extracted) extra virgin olive oil is processed at temperatures below 80°F, which preserves the polyphenols, antioxidants, and flavor compounds that heat destroys. Grocery store olive oil often cannot tell you its polyphenol count, harvest date, or free fatty acid level — because that data isn’t good enough to share.

    At Old Metairie Olive Oils & Vinegars, every bottle of Veronica Foods cold-pressed olive oil comes with its chemistry data: polyphenol content, FFA levels, peroxide values, and crush date. You can taste the difference in-store — free, no appointment needed — at 103 Focis Street, Metairie LA 70005. We ship nationwide.

    What is cold-pressed olive oil and is it better than regular olive oil?

    Cold-pressed olive oil is produced by pressing olives at temperatures below 80°F (27°C), preserving polyphenols, antioxidants, and fresh flavor compounds that heat destroys. Yes — it is measurably better. Every oil at Old Metairie is cold-pressed and verified by chemistry for polyphenol content, free fatty acid levels, and peroxide values. This is the standard Veronica Foods holds all their oils to, and it’s what separates ultra-premium olive oil from mass-market blends.

    Where can I buy Veronica Foods olive oil in Louisiana?

    Old Metairie Olive Oils & Vinegars at 103 Focis Street, Metairie LA 70005 is an authorized Veronica Foods retailer — one of the few in Louisiana. We are open Tuesday through Friday 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Free in-store tastings are available every day during business hours. All products also ship nationwide at oldmetairiefoods.com — inventory is synced in real time with our in-store Lightspeed POS.

    What is the difference between fused and infused olive oils?

    Fused olive oils are made by crushing whole olives together with fresh fruits, herbs, or vegetables at the time of pressing — the flavor is literally pressed into the oil. Infused olive oils are made by adding natural flavorings to already-pressed extra virgin olive oil after production. Fused oils tend to have a deeper, more integrated flavor because the infusion happens at the molecular level during extraction. We carry both styles at our Old Metairie store.

    How do I use balsamic vinegar?

    Aged balsamic vinegar can be drizzled over salads, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream, or aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano. It can also be reduced into a glaze for meats and vegetables, or used in marinades and vinaigrettes. The older and thicker the balsamic, the sweeter and more complex the flavor — our 18-year aged balsamics are exceptional drizzled simply over good bread or ice cream. Stop in for a free tasting to find your favorite.

    Do you offer tastings, and do I need an appointment?

    We offer free in-store tastings during all regular business hours — no appointment needed. Come in and sample our ultra-premium cold-pressed extra virgin olive oils, fused and infused oils, aged balsamic vinegars, and specialty vinegars. Our staff will walk you through flavor profiles, pairing suggestions, and the chemistry behind what makes each oil genuinely fresh and different from grocery store alternatives.

    Can I buy your products online and do you ship across the United States?

    Yes to both. Our WooCommerce online store is synced in real time with our in-store Lightspeed POS inventory, so what you see online is always accurate. We ship across the United States. You can also visit us in person at 103 Focis Street in Old Metairie — free tastings available every day, no appointment needed. Call us at (504) 354-1275 or email hardiefrench@gmail.com with any questions.
