Hola Olive

Very happy with our olive oil tasting experience. Carol was a fantastic host and clearly knows much about olive oil. Highly recommend!

It is always a pleasure to come across a place where you feel like a valued guest instead of just another customer. Carol took the time to offer samples of several different olive oils (or olive juice as she likes to call it) and explained not only about the oil but also her personal connection to the producer. She also offered samples of the most incredible vinegars, with flavors that I have never experienced from more common industrially produced vinegars. After making my selections, she neatly bubble wrapped each bottle to ready it for the trip home. Thank you Carol for not only a great learning experience, but for your hospitality and excellent oils.

What a great experience. Something different from the usual and a real Spanish experience. Recommend anyone who truly loves food and the highest quality ingredients to try the olive juice (oil) tasting. The shop has just opened and we were the first to try it with the Owner Carolina, it was so informative; everything smelled and tasted great. She knew all the background stories and producers on a personal level. A must try!

Excellent place to buy a gift! As an American who wanted to buy an excellent olive oil but didn't know where to begin, this was the perfect store to visit. Hola Olive is truly a passion project– Carol has relationships with the producers she sources from and stands firmly behind the quality of the products she carries. You can taste the different oils, and Carol will help you find one that meets the flavor profile, size, and price range you're looking for.

It was a great experience to taste different olive oils conducted by a most passionate olive oil sommelier. She shared her passion with the different wonderful olive oils as well as other products such as salt and vinegars. Highly recommended if you want to get high quality olive oils that are produced by passionate small family growers as compared to large cooperatives. Bravo 👏!

My boyfriend and I did an olive oil tasting with Carol. We met both her and Andre at Hola Olive. They prepared several dishes for us to try with the olive oils. Cheese, meat, sliced oranges with cinnamon dusted on top, zucchini carpaccio, and my favorite -- strawberries with grated chocolate on top. She introduced us to a new realm of pairing olive oils with our food. We bought several bottles of olive oil and Carol wrapped the bottles in bubble wrap for it, which was lovely and so considerate of her. We also bought some olive oil hand cream and soap. We'd love to return and do a tour or another tasting!

I was looking for some great Spanish olive oil to take back to America and what I ended up finding was absolute great quality premium olive oil. The owner Carol so kindly explain all the different types of olive oils from all parts of Spain. She is so passionate about olive oil she often holds olive oil tasting and quite honestly I found out how little I knew about it until I walked in the store. Carol was so genuine she told me that these olive oils go way beyond used just for cooking. It truly felt like a “wine” tasting as she gave me samples of different olive oils on a little champagne/wine glasses. Like Carol likes to call them olive juice, because is so fresh and made with so much quality. Prices were great too. She also packed them all nicely on bubble wraps so they were baggage ready. She also has some all natural cosmetics (lotion, soaps, etc) and we also ended up buying Menorca natural salt that she sells at the store. I know for sure I will be recommending this place to anyone visiting Barcelona and definitely will restock next time I am in town! Thanks so much, Carol for the wonderful unique experience!

Great tasting experience. Learned a LOT about various olive oils (juice) and pairings. Carolina was a terrific host
