Welcome Welcome to this month's edition of The Olive Press! This issue is a little different because we're excited to introduce our new Seasonal Pre-Order Program. Over the years we've loved bringing in unique seasonal olive oils and balsamics, but limited shelf space often meant temporarily removing one of your favorite everyday products. We knew that could be frustrating when you came in looking for a favorite only to find it unavailable. Beginning this season, our limited-time flavors will be available by pre-order approximately one month before arrival. This lets us keep our everyday products fully stocked while continuing to offer exciting seasonal selections. You may also notice two familiar favorites—Persian Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Harvest Apple Balsamic—in this year's Seasonal Collection. Because our supplier now produces these only seasonally, they have also moved into our Pre-Order Program. Why Pre-Order? Get a 10% discount! Save 10% on every seasonal pre-order. Reserve your favorites before they arrive. No more temporary product swaps—our everyday collection stays available year- round. Allows us to introduce more seasonal products without reducing our regular selection. How to Pre-Order Visit our website and select: Shop → Seasonal Pre-Order → Fall Flavors Ordering: August 1–31 Expected Arrival: Early September How You'll Receive Your Order Our Fall Seasonal Collection is expected to arrive in early September. We'll contact you based on the delivery option you selected at checkout. In-Store Pickup Choose In-Store Pickup at checkout. We'll email you as soon as your order is ready. Local Delivery (where available) If you are within our local delivery area, choose Local Delivery. We'll notify you when to expect your delivery.

We'll also let you know when to expect delivery. Fall 2026 Seasonal Pre-Order Collection Persian Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil Now a Seasonal Favorite! Formerly available year-round, Persian Lime is now produced seasonally by our supplier. Bright citrus notes make it perfect for Mediterranean, Latin, and Caribbean cooking. Wonderful with tropical fruit balsamics. Bacon Infused Olive Oil Rich, smoky bacon flavor for eggs, roasted vegetables, potatoes, spinach salad, and more. Delicious with Bourbon Maple, Espresso, Chocolate di Torino, Peach, and many other balsamics. Harvest Apple Balsamic Now a Seasonal Favorite! Because our supplier now offers Harvest Apple only seasonally, it has joined our Seasonal Pre-Order Program. Wonderful on salads, pork, poultry, fish, roasted vegetables, and apple crisp. Pairs beautifully with Garlic or Herbes de Provence EVOO. Habanero Honey Vinegar Sweet honey vinegar balanced with a bold habanero kick. Excellent in stir-fries, marinades, vinaigrettes, salsa, or drizzled over watermelon and pineapple. Until Next Month...
