Our Story at Old Metairie Olive Oils & Vinegars
With over 30 years of experience in the medical field, the owners of Old Metairie Olive Oils & Vinegars have always prioritized health, wellness, and the quality of what goes in and on the body. The store is rooted in a deep commitment to whole, nutritious foods and the belief that the products we use should be as pure and high-quality as possible.
Several years ago, the family discovered fused and infused olive oils and vinegars, and they quickly became a staple in the kitchen. The flavor, purity, and versatility were unlike anything found on a grocery store shelf. Whether cooking, tossing a salad, marinating meats, drizzling over desserts, or even flavoring popcorn, these oils and vinegars elevate every dish. Best of all, they contain no artificial flavorings or preservatives — just clean, real ingredients you can trust.
The passion grew so strong that the drive to sample and purchase favorites stretched over an hour each way. Eventually the question became obvious: why not bring these incredible products to the neighborhood? That idea sparked the creation of Old Metairie Olive Oils & Vinegars.
Today the store at 103 Focis St. in the heart of Old Metairie offers the community a place to explore and enjoy the same high-quality products sourced exclusively through Veronica Foods, one of the most respected specialty olive oil suppliers in the country. Come in to sample a wide variety of artisan olive oils and balsamic vinegars, discover favorite pairings, and find the perfect gift for any occasion.
Stop by, explore, and experience the difference for yourself — where quality meets passion in every bottle.
Questions About Our Store
Old Metairie Olive Oils & Vinegars was started by the French family in Old Metairie, Louisiana. After years of passionate use of specialty fused and infused olive oils and vinegars — and driving over an hour just to find them — the decision was made to bring these products directly to the local community. The store opened at 103 Focis Street so neighbors in Metairie and the greater New Orleans area could access the same premium quality without the drive.
The store carries ultra-premium extra virgin olive oils, naturally fused and infused olive oils, dark balsamic vinegars, white and rose balsamics, specialty vinegars, gourmet pantry items including gordal olives, manzanilla olives, cherry tomato sauce, sea salts and spices, and an olive oil skin care line.
