About Us


The Natural Olive has been part of Hickory’s heart for more than 15 years, carrying with it the love and care of those who came before us. When we stepped in as the new owners, we felt that same energy immediately — a space built on connection, community, and the joy of food that brings people closer.

Our olive oils are the freshest in the market and award-winning, sourced seasonally from both hemispheres so every harvest arrives at its peak. Our balsamic vinegars come exclusively from Modena, Italy, where centuries of tradition create depth and richness found nowhere else. Together, they’re more than ingredients — they’re living energy, gifts of the earth that nourish both body and spirit. With over 60 varieties, plus salts, seasonings, and specialty foods, each taste is an invitation to slow down, bond, and savor what truly matters.

From our home in downtown Hickory, NC, we’re grateful to share this experience with both our neighbors and those discovering us from afar. Whether you join us in the store or through our online shop, we hope every bottle you bring home carries with it the spirit of connection and joy The Natural Olive has shared for more than a decade.
