The Green Olive Branch

This place is an absolute gem and I can only hope the residents of Bergen County recognize it as such. There are all sorts of artisanal/​gourmet items (pastas, sauces, spices) around the periphery of the store but where Green Olive Branch really blows you away is its oils and vinegars. Quality olive oil and vinegar infused with a variety of fruits and vegetables. The infusions pop with freshness and flavor. Nothing artificial here, just great ingredients allowed to meld perfectly together. Incredibly friendly and knowledgable service and a liberal sampling policy. If you enjoy cooking or food in general, your pantry cannot be considered complete until you have a Green Olive branch bottle in it.

I have been to The Green Olive Branch a few times now and each and every time the staff is absolutely AMAZING and the experience is so delightful! I originally had the Groupon. Upon using it, I have been back and back again. The staff told me that they even can arrange any gift basket you would like. I just picked up a gift basket for my mother-​in-​law that is so lovely! You just pay for all the items in the basket and they assemble the basket and wrap it for free! I will definitely be back soon to stock up on their basil and garlic olive oil! My fiancé loves their pastas and pesto sauce as well. Their pumpkin honey spread is delicious too! Great for dinner parties! I recommend everyone to try this place out!

This place is amazing! We just moved from Southern California where these types of olive oil stores are plentiful and were SO excited to see one open up here. All of their olive oil is sourced from farms in California so you are really getting the freshest, best quality possible. This stuff is nothing like you find at the grocery store, which has been sitting there losing its flavor and health benefits for who knows how long.
The other cool thing about this place is that you can bring back your empty bottles and get discounts on your next purchase.
They are a member of the California Olive Oil Council too.

Stopped here with my husband on a whim on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised.
The center of the store is lined with olive oils and rich balsamic vinegar for tasting. The perimeter of the store is full of super creative pasta, spices, sauces, and tea blends. We tasted every olive oil they had (garlic, lemon, jalapeño, chipotle to name a few) and a few balsamic vinegars (orange, fig, etc…). Everything so was well done and tasted so fresh, we couldn’t help but buy a bottle of the garlic infused oil.
The salesmen (maybe owners?) was so helpful with suggestions of what to try and how to use/​pair each oil. They never pressured us to buy anything, but they really didn’t have to — we were sold on the first taste.
They also have sriracha mayonnaise, different pestos, pastas ribboned with different flavors, as well as spicy sauces (there was one with ghost peppers).
Anyway, I’ll be coming back here to sample more. This is definitely a fun place to get something different for your pantry or get a fun gift or two for a foodie friend.
