Frequently Asked Questions
About The Outward Olive
The Outward Olive is a curated pantry and gifting house rooted in one belief: meaningful connection begins around the table. We offer ultra-premium olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and thoughtfully curated gift collections designed to bring people together, whether that's a weeknight dinner, a hostess gift, or a milestone celebration.
Our tasting room is at 794 N Main Street, Crown Point, Indiana 46307. We're open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am–5pm, and Sunday 12pm–3pm. We're closed Mondays. Phone inquiries are welcome during business hours.
While we're passionate about premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars, what sets us apart is our focus on meaningful experiences.
Every product and collection is thoughtfully selected to encourage gathering, hospitality, and connection, not just checking a gift off a list.
Our olive oils and balsamics are sourced from small, family-run producers in Tunisia, Greece, and Italy. Each relationship is chosen for quality and care, from the growers to the bottle that reaches your table.
Shop & Collections
The Pantry Collection features Tunisian extra virgin olive oils infused with plant-based flavors, made for everyday cooking with intention. Flavors include Slow Roasted Garlic, Sapore Italian Herb, Basilico Parmesan, Golden Butter, Tuscan Tomato Parmesan, Aged Parmesan, Garden Garlic & Cilantro, Smoked, Wildwood Sage, Lumière Truffle, Bright Jalapeño, and Ember Onion.
The Signature Estate Collection features Greek extra virgin olive oils from a single family estate, cold-fused with locally sourced fruits and herbs during the milling process. No additives, no shortcuts. The collection's flagship is Olea Reserve, our unfused, early-harvest, high-phenolic Kalamata EVOO.
Olea Reserve is our signature extra virgin olive oil and the flagship of the Signature Estate Collection. Unlike our infused oils, Olea Reserve is intentionally left unflavored to showcase the natural character of early-harvest olives from a single estate in Kalamata, Greece. It's bold, peppery, and high in polyphenols, made for those who appreciate an authentic, single-source olive oil.
The Finishing Collection is our line of flavor-infused balsamic vinegars from Modena, Italy, crafted for the last beautiful moment of a dish, whether that's a drizzle over burrata, a reduction over roasted vegetables, or a dipping moment that slows the table down.
Entertaining Essentials is our collection of tools and accessories made for effortless hosting, from serving pieces to dipping bowls and other pieces that round out a beautifully set table.
Gathered Provisions brings together the extras that elevate everyday meals and gatherings: hand-harvested sea salts, Mediterranean olives, artisan tapenades, dipping blends, and cocktail mixers. Serving pieces and kitchen tools can be found in our Entertaining Essentials collection.
Gifting
Our Gift Sets are curated collections built for giving, ready to send. This includes the Table Collection, the Wrapped Collection, and seasonal collections like the Father's Table Collection.
The Table Collection includes several curated gifting sets, each built around a flavor profile and occasion: The Bold Table, The Cozy Table, The Bright Table, The Everyday Table, and The Lasting Table. Every Table Collection arrives in a premium hard-sided gift box with a magnetic closure and cushioned interior, along with a gold foil card featuring pairing and serving suggestions.
The Wrapped Collection pairs one of our extra virgin olive oils with a finishing balsamic vinegar for a complete gifting moment. Each set includes a ceramic dipping bowl and a card insert with serving ideas, wrapped together in natural linen. The Wrapped Collection comes in three versions: No. 01 Gather, No. 02 Savor, and No. 03 Unwind.
