Hill Country Oil Oil

Olive oil has become a thriving, award-winning industry in the Texas Hill Country, offering a taste of the region's unique terroir. The area's rocky, limestone-rich soil and climate conditions have proven surprisingly suitable for growing olive varieties like Arbequina and Mission. Producers, often with Italian heritage, focus on creating fresh, high-quality extra virgin olive oils that frequently feature a distinctive flavor profile, ranging from mild and fruity with notes of almond to a more robust, grassy taste with a peppery, moderate spicy finish. This locally grown and milled oil has carved out a place in the American market, celebrated for its freshness and exceptional quality in cooking, dipping, and finishing culinary creations.
