Top 2024 Questions from Our Customers

This year, we learned that the more honest and open we were about what’s happening behind the scenes—our inspirations, experiments, and the occasional happy accident—the more you, our amazing customers, reached out to share what you’re curious about and what you’d like to see from us next. So, in the spirit of transparency and connection, here are some of the most common questions we got this year (and our heartfelt answers):

1. Polyphenol Count?

Polyphenol Count: 450-550. It’s lab-tested and approved by one of Texas’ leading food testers!

2. What makes Texas Olive Ranch olive oil different?

We’re so glad you asked! It starts with our soil. We grow our olives right here in Texas, where the land imparts unique character to every batch of olive oil. Then, we press our olives within hours of harvest to lock in that pure, fresh flavor. The result? Extra virgin olive oil that’s bold, bright, and beautifully Texan.

3. Can I really use olive oil for everything?

Yes, absolutely! EVOO isn’t just for drizzling over salads (though it’s also amazing). We’ve loved seeing you try it in baking, frying, marinating, and even blending it into your morning smoothies. Pro tip: swap it for butter in cookie dough for a light, citrusy twist—trust us, it’s a game-changer.

4. Are you planning new products or flavors?

Oh, we’ve got a few things cooking (literally)! While we’re not ready to spill all the olives, let’s just say 2025 will bring some fun collaborations and limited releases inspired by what you’ve told us you love. Hint: think smoky, spicy, and maybe even something sweet.

5. Where can I find your olive oil?

We’re proud to partner with incredible grocers like H-E-B, Brookshire's, Aldi, Randalls, and United Supermarkets. If you’re unsure where to find us, check out our store locator online or ask your favorite local grocer to stock us—we’re always happy to expand!

6. How do I store olive oil to keep it fresh?

Great question! Olive oil is best kept in a cool, dark place—away from heat, light, and air, which can break it down over time. While we love a pretty bottle on the counter, it’s best to pour what you’ll use that week into a smaller container and keep the rest sealed up tight.

7. How do I use your olive oil during the holidays?

We love this question! Whether dressing up a roasted turkey, brightening up a holiday citrus salad, or gifting a bottle as the perfect stocking stuffer, our olive oil adds something unique to the season. Pro tip: pair it with your favorite artisan bread for a last-minute host gift that’ll have everyone talking.

8. What inspired your collaboration with H-E-B?

Jim Henry, our founder, has long admired H-E-B’s dedication to supporting local growers and bringing Texans the very best. This collaboration felt like a natural extension of both our missions: to celebrate Texas flavors and ensure that quality, locally sourced products are accessible to as many people as possible.

9. Will we see more exclusive products at H-E-B?

We’re always brainstorming ways to bring new, exciting flavors to your table. While we can’t reveal too much just yet, let’s just say this is only the beginning of what we hope will be a long and fruitful partnership with H-E-B. Stay tuned!

10. How does this partnership benefit the community?

By working with H-E-B, we’ve been able to scale sustainably while staying true to our roots. It allows us to grow our business in a way that directly supports our farmers, the local economy, and the Texas community at large. Plus, seeing so many of you discover (or rediscover) the magic of cooking with fresh, local olive oil has been amazing.
