The Natural Olive

Wonderful olive oil shop, with balsamic vinegar and mixed spices for dips and rubs. There is a nice variety of olive oil, some infused with herbs and others with spices. The same is true for the balsamic vinegars both light and dark variety. They have an 18 year balsamic that is a must try and easy on the palate. A definite add to your pantry. I love it. Give it a try when you are in Hickory, NC.

My son and I were exploring downtown Hickory and Stopped in Natural Olive for the Gelato!

We needed something to cool us down after being in the heat!

It worked wonders and it was exceptional! I had the raspberry and my little man had the vanilla bean!

The vibe was very inviting and the very definition of cozy! Definitely worth visiting again!

Stopped in for gelato and left happier than I thought!! Gelato was delicious but the assortment of olive oils and vinegars was unbelievably enticing. The staff was knowledgeable and kind. Its just a heavenly place!

Love getting to visit in person and bring pottery cruets to the store! My friends loved the store and the team. It was busy but your crew was so friendly and helpful. Truly a great place to taste and shop!

Been here a few times now. Just went today and they're adding more flavors! I restocked on some... always kind and professional. They sell online and offer gift card options! Oils, vinegars, salts (try the truffle salt!), room sprays and even delicious gelato (the salted caramel for the win today)! Taste samples of the oils and vinegars, you will love it!!

This is an AWESOME Olive Oil and Balsamic store!! 😲😛😋 ...so many choices!! It was VERY hard to choose but I restrained from buying them all!! Noelle, the owner is a WONDERFUL person as well!! 😁

I finally ran out of olive oil at home and am by no means a connoisseur. Fortunately, this little place is 5 minutes from home and has more options than I could get through in a lifetime. I picked up a bottle of cayenne infused for a friend and a bottle of oil from Albania (I had no idea that olive oil was an export from there). With this shop so close, I'll probably increase my olive oil intake just to try some more of the options.

Amazing selection of natural olive oils with different flavors and ingredients mouth watering balsamic with different flavors. Balsamic 18 yo Is the best I think and orange olive oil as a combo just ask for the IT combo and you will be guided in the right direction.

Love this place! Although I love three hours away whenever we are in the area we always stop by. The variety is great, the products is delicious, and the staff is helpful. If you haven’t stopped by and you’re in the area I would strongly urge you to do so.

I LOVE THIS STORE! I have spent a ton of money here and never once got something that wasn't delicious. My favorite is the bread dip seasonings with the Tuscan olive oil and 18 year balsamic! Also great for gifts!

They have a great selection of high quality oils and vinegars and the experience of tasting and purchasing is a lot of fun. We love collecting different flavors for dressings, sauces and even popcorn. The Tuscany olive oil is our favorite for dipping bread and the strawberry balsamic vinegar is great drizzled on popcorn. The prices are much more expensive than the grocery store but the quality can't be matched. The punch card reward program helps to make it more affordable. Overall a great experience and fantastic product.

This place is amazing. The aroma, the products. Just so great. On my most recent visit, today, I was not there to buy anything but to ask for a donation to a local school to raise money. They graciously gave to help us fundraise. I have been in this shop many times, and love what they have to offer. It is our go to to buy the best.

The natural olive is absolutely the most fantastic place to get flavored olive oils and vinaigrettes. They also have jam, rubs, seasonings, different types of pasta, and the best part is if you're not sure they allow you to try samples to make sure that you will love the product. Their packaging is beautiful and I have bought several of their box sets as gifts. If you are ever in Hickory I recommend that you stop at the natural olive.

The Natural Olive is a hidden gem in Hickory. Their selection of oils and vinegars is extensive and top-notch.

Great place to buy olive oil and balsamic vinegar. They have a huge variety of flavors of each and there are little tasting cups and small squares of bread set out so you can sample a few. It's a fun place to spend 20 mins or so tasting the different options before choosing which ones to purchase.

Please do yourself (and your family or anyone you cook for!) to visit the cutest store in downtown Hickory, The Natural Olive!
This place is amazing!! It has over 50 (yes, 50!!) varieties of extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars! Going healthy was never easier and more fun! This shop also has many local North Carolina products such as honey, handcrafted pottery, gorgeous flour sack tea towels, handmade cutting boards,etc., etc.!
Also, I was impressed with their selection of natural sea salts and rubs!!

Such a great variety of olive oils and vinegars! Great customer service.
Freshly decanted olive oil and real balsamic vinegars.
And who knew... they ship!
Yeah! Whenever, I visit Hickory this is on my must do list!

Excellent. Very hard to decide. I love the fig balsamic and the herbal Tuscan olive oil! So aromatic and delicious. I’ve gone through a bottle in just over a week, it’s so good! I’ll be back soon

Fig Balsamic! It is the best. Natural Olive has so many choices of olive oil and balsamic so it is hard to pick just one. Regardless my one is fig. You can have a taste of any product they have and their friendly staff can help with pairings to dress the perfect salad or meal.

One of my favorite stops. There are many olive oils, and balsamic vinegars available. The staff is always friendly and are knowledgeable about the products. They offer great suggestions for pairing foods with the olive oils and/or vinegars.
