Texas Hill Country Olive Company, Dripping Springs

This place has really expanded in the years since we were last there. It is very convenient and easy to find on Fitzhugh near Bell Springs. They have a couple of tasting stations where they encourage you to taste as many flavors of olive oil and balsamic vinegar as you would like - either straight or with bread. They also have a dining area where you can enjoy a meal or snack. We liked the Basil Olive Oil the best and bought a bottle. Our favorite balsamic vinegar was the fig.

Love trying their different olive oils, and come here each time I am headed to the Hill Country. Got the Jalapeno this time and can't wait to cook with it. We also ate lunch at their cafe. The caprese salad and roasted pepper soup were excellent, and made for a great start on our wine adventure. Also, try the Italian Herb mix with olive oil, especially with the bread they serve with the meal!

Fantastic place! Definitely take the time to go on the tour because you have the opportunity to learn so much! All staff was very friendly and helpful during our visit. The olive oils and balsamic vinegars taste amazing! They have 2 stations set up for tasting in their cute little shop with at least 20 different samples to taste. There is a distinct difference between their olive oil and what I have been buying at the store for years. If you have the opportunity to stay for lunch, get their early or reserve yourself a spot (if you are going on the tour first). The food is delicious and people come from all around to eat lunch there.

Wish I could give it 4.5 stars. The oils and vinegars were all wonderful. Also I learned so much from the tour on this beautiful property. The only negative was the gentleman who started the tour didn't stop trying to sell. I get it, they have to sell product. But dang I wish we got a break from the sales pitches for olive oil. If I didn't love olive oil already I wouldn't have driven an hour out of my way to take a tour of this place. Sherry, the second guide, was delightful.

Great selection of quality olive oil. Check out the recipe cards for ideas of different infused oils. Cant wait to taste the cranberry white chocolate cookies made with blood orange infused evoo. Friendly knowledgeable staff.
