Harvest to Pour: How Our Olive Oil Is Made
From sun-drenched groves to your kitchen counter, there’s a remarkable journey inside every bottle of olive oil. At The Bodacious Shops, we believe knowing where your food comes from deepens your connection to it—and elevates the experience of every drizzle, dip, and sauté.
Let’s take a peek behind the scenes and follow the path our extra virgin olive oils travel, from harvest to pour.
The story starts with the olive tree—resilient, graceful, and full of potential. Each season, olives are hand-harvested at their peak ripeness by expert growers in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This dual-hemisphere harvesting means we offer the freshest oils year-round, thanks to our trusted supplier: MillPress Imports.
Within hours of harvest, olives are cold-pressed in world-class mills using cutting-edge technology that preserves their vibrant flavors and nutritional value. This process produces certified Extra Virgin Olive Oil—meaning it’s unrefined, fresh, and bursting with polyphenols and antioxidants.
MillPress works exclusively with producers who meet stringent organoleptic (taste and aroma) standards, ensuring every batch of oil is expertly rated and full of life.
Once the oil is pressed, some of our favorites are infused with natural flavors—think basil, garlic, or blood orange. MillPress never cuts corners here: all infused oils begin with fresh EVOO and are carefully blended with real, natural extracts for bold, balanced flavor.
No artificial additives. No shortcuts. Just vibrant oil made with intention.
Our vinegars hail from Modena, Italy—home of traditional balsamic craftsmanship. From rich, barrel-aged dark balsamics to bright white and fruit-forward varieties, each vinegar we carry is a nod to old-world technique with modern culinary flair. Our supplier, MillPress, sources from artisanal producers who’ve perfected the balance of sweet and tangy over generations.
After pressing and infusing, each oil is bottled with care. MillPress ensures food safety and traceability throughout the supply chain. Every bottle is filled with bold flavor and backed by expertise in small-batch production, private label development, and innovative flavor creation.
We bring it to you fresh—so you can pour it with pride.
At The Bodacious Shops, we’re passionate about sharing products that are as rich in story as they are in flavor. We don’t just sell olive oil—we share a tradition of quality, transparency, and craftsmanship.
Thanks to MillPress Imports, our oils and vinegars don’t just taste amazing… they’re made the right way.
Whether you’re whisking up a vinaigrette, finishing a flaky filet, or dunking crusty bread into your favorite pairing, every pour is part of a bigger story—one that begins in the grove and ends at your table.
