If you enjoy cooking, you understand the importance of using the best olive oils and vinegars. For those living in Manteca, CA, there is a great, locally owned shop that specializes in high quality olive oils – The Olive Oil Pantry. At the shop, you can expect to find extra virgin olive oil from both Italy and California and a wide variety infused olive oils. Recently, The Olive Oil Pantry added two new infused olive oils to their line: Garlic Cilantro and Sundried Tomato. Along with the specialty olive oils, the shop carries an impressive selection of balsamic vinegar, table vinegar, gourmet stuffed olives, and more. Stop by for a tasting, stock up on your favorite olive oils and vinegar, and enjoy the effect it has on your food.
The Olive Oil Pantry was opened on February 14, 2011 by Arnie Kaufam, who had extensive experience selling extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegars to food manufacturers and restaurant distributors. Esther Astorga has worked in the shop since opening day and was able to benefit from his extensive knowledge of the industry. She dreamed of owning her own business, so when the opportunity arose, Esther purchased the Olive Oil Pantry from Kaufam. She has been the proud owner since March 24, 2015, and she has ensured that Manteca locals receive the same quality and service they’ve enjoyed since 2011.
