Ferrari Olive Oil Company

CLOSED.
I liked them, too, but apparently not enough other people did.

I love this place, but where are you? I went to the Farmer’s Market a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t find you anywhere! Everything is exquisite. I tried getting balsamic from Vons to make up for my broken heart and it was gross! They have a posted warning that their products can give you cancer! After finding one that wouldn’t put my life in danger I went home and had it and it was subpar at best. FERRARI is the only balsamic I want.
The flavors, the selection, the quality… I can’t simply explain how good it is because justice won’t be done. It’s something to at least try a sample of to be convinced. I’m in love with The Godfather and Godmother, but it’s all good. Basil Olive Oil? Okay! Lemon, Unicorn Tears, etc… It’s all amazing.

My good friend Logan Pietz works for this place and he is such a gosh darn persuasive salesmen that he got me convinced to order gourmet food products all the way from LA to NYC. I got the lemon infused sugar and it’s fantastic. It tastes like REAL lemon as opposed to that sickly sweet fake lemon flavor that is in everything. I was skeptical about ordering something from so far away, but it was amazingly fresh. I plan on using it to roll lemon cookies in before baking them though I also think it would probably be awesome to use for a sugar rim on plenty of drinks.

I never thought such good products could be sold in a place like Studio City, a town that I don’t enjoy.
The person who gave us the tour, Mikel, was knowledgeable and honest. We only bought some exquisite Hickory smoked sea salt and chocolate, since we could not carry on the oil on the plane with us. We will order it by mail.
Kudos to the owners of the place.

These place is awesome. Take your friends and taste some of the most interesting flavors on the planet. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Finding a place to park can be a bit tricky, but not too bad. Try any of their vinegar over shredded cabbage and carrot. It’s fantastic.

Perfect! Was so excited to get in and try this place. So so happy we have a high end Olive Oil and Vinegar Store in our area.
They have other items like flavored salts and sugars as well as various types of har olives.
Got my Black and White Truffle Oils for the house! Happy Happy.
PARKING IN THE BACK!

This is where I get all of my olive oil! When I heard about this place I went there as soon as I could, and I was not disappointed. They location is very convent and the shop is homey and cute.
I went here with my friend for an olive oil tasting. The staff was so incredibly nice and helpful. They were very knowledgable and helped pick out my olive oils. My favorite is the Tuscan olive oil. It has hints of sun dried tomatoes and herbs. But my absolute favorite products are the salad dressings! They are so good! I love unicorn tears and the vampire dressing. It mixes their balsamic a and olive oils perfectly.
I have ran into this company at the farmers market on Melrose Place. Here the prices were cheaper, but obviously they had a smaller collection. Once again the staff was so helpful, and they gave me many samples.
It is such a great place to get gifts for your foodie friends. I got a friend truffle salt and they loved it!

If you want to make as much to do around buying a bottle of olive oil as you would a car then Ferrari Olive Oil Company is for you. It’s more of a showroom than a store. Come here for a dipping oil, a dressing oil, or a finishing oil. The olive oil sold here should not be wasted as a cooking oil. I shudder at the thought of all the good extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) that gets destroyed everyday on America’s stove tops.
The proprietor of the shop appreciates that like all produce species and location are important factors in shaping taste. The variations on a theme are what make life sweet. Basically the pitch is olive oil should be chosen with as much care as wine.
Pros:
* Most pampered olive oil purchase you’ll ever have
* Unlike Gelsons or Whole Foods you can sample flavors
* Just north of $ 20 for a 375 ml bottle the prices are competitive for what you’ll find at Gelsons or Whole Foods
* More accessible than an olive oil stand at a weekly farmers market, but same/​better quality, in fact this small business also sales its oil, at Sherman Oaks farmers market since it has a bricks and mortar store in neighborhood it’s precluded from selling at Studio City farmers market
* Offers 6 EVOO with another 10 flavor infused EVOO, has more than a dozen choices for Balsamic vinegars too

Ferrari Olive Oil is a business that I believe everyone should be supporting. It is family owned, has quality products that taste amazing, great customer service, extremely knowledgeable employees, reasonable prices, and their products bring so much fun into our kitchens and daily meals!
From the moment I tasted the Unicorn Tears, I was sold! I am definitely a customer for life, and will continue looking forward to trying and tasting more of the goodies they have to offer. It’s so great because you can try any product in the store before buying it. Now there is no reason to be hesitant on your purchase :)
The store hours are perfect and they have 10 free parking spaces in the back or there is metered parking. And best of all you can book your own tasting party!
So all in all when I think of Ferrari Olive Oil, all that comes to mind is YUMMMM! :)

Excellent vinegars with rich thickness that I have not seen at any other specialty oil/​vinegar store. The olive oils also have nice variety. I have not been disappointed by anything I have purchased here. The store also has specialty sugars and salts as well as a few other specialty items such as chocolate, honey, and coffee.

Delicious. I bought their fig balsamic vinegar at the Sherman Oaks farmers market and I’m hooked! Everything is so good. I want to go to their store, but haven’t yet… a bit afraid I will want it all. Staff is super friendly too!

Wow I learned so much coming here, the free olive tasting was great. You can even try the balsamic fingers (which did you know you can even put on ice cream!). And try their Ghost Pepper salt, so yum!

I just discovered this place about a month ago driving down Ventura Blvd and boy, am I glad I did! I’d only just recently found out about olive oil and balsamic vinegars being just as intriguing as wine after a family trip to Tucson and I have been hooked ever since. You must go try their white peach balsamic… HEAVEN!

This place is not just a store, it is an experience! (Full Disclosure: They have recently started stocking Jams that my wife makes, and we are so proud to be associated with such great people and amazing products.)
The first time we came here, I did not know what I was in for. I knew I loved Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar, but I had no idea that there were so many varieties or ways to use them. And to cut a long story short, about an hour after setting foot in here, I knew I could not go back to buying supermarket Olive Oil having tasted such delicious and interesting flavors as I had discovered here.
After a brief introduction and some recommendations, we basically wandered the store trying everything they had thanks to their convenient sample cups and bottles (and pieces of bread to soak up the oils and vinegars!) and we wanted to take one of everything home with us. But we restrained ourselves and left after the first visit with a stupidly smooth bottle of oil, their Godfather Balsamic Vinegar (the best I have ever had) and some Habanero Sugar, which we use in everything from Chili to Cocktails!
The real beauty of this place is that you can build a collection. Each time you find yourself in the area you will feel compelled (trust me) to pop inside and pick something new up, and then when you are looking through your cupboards one day deciding what to make for dinner, you suddenly find you have infinite possibilities, either by conjuring up wild new creations, or giving familiar dishes an experimental twist, or simply by remembering how a simple classic dish became a classic in the first place: the finest ingredients.
Everybody here is super friendly, there is parking in the back, and the products will change the way you think about many ingredients that you probably use on a daily basis. Whenever we have people in town visiting, this place is definitely on our list of things to do in Los Angeles! So stop by, meet some wonderful, passionate people, and prepare to have your taste buds tickled (they will thank you for a long time afterwards!)

My son and I had just grabbed breakie next door to Ferrari and I remembered the great reviews so I told myself this would be the perfect store to pick up a little gift for someone since I wanted to tie it into the olive oil theme, and what better gift than a bottle of olive oil itself! I felt the blood orange was a fantastic choice for my selection (and gift theme). I will certainly return to pick up other bottles.
I sampled a few olive oils and balsamics — all were great, even the unique flavors.
Their prices are reasonable and I received the 10% discount with Unilocal check-​in, sweet!

Stopped in out of curiosity and came out with a delicious bottle of olive oil and black truffle salt! The owners of this place are a husband and wife team who are very knowledgable and also very nice. All of their products are able to be sampled and there is no rush. The quality of the products is of the highest deliciousness. Highly recommend this place to treat yourself to some true olive oil, balsamic tasties or delicious salts!

So many flavors to choose from. The quality is amazing. I have a pecan praline balsamic that is amazing over vanilla ice cream. Also truffle oils. Nuff said!

What does ‘Ferrari’ bring to mind? An amazing (but expensive) Italian beauty of a car to satisfy your mid-​life crisis? Or, how about an insane variety of balsamic vinegars and olive oils? Have I lost my mind?! What am I talking about? Ferrari Olive Oil Company.
Ferrari Olive Oil Company is not a car lot and is instead a small gourmet shop resembling a winery. Upon stepping foot into the establishment, one is attacked (in the best way possible) by the scent of olives, by eye-​appealing low-​lighting and wood barrels, and a quiet, calming air. If balsamics and olive oils are your forte, then Ferrari is your candy store. I am a HUGE balsamic advocate and was welcomed by an informative store associate who kindly explained the store, its offerings, the set-​up, and information regarding the individual products.
Ferrari is an experience more than just a store: you will find unique balsamic vinegars that you probably never even dreamt of such as fig, pomegranate, coconut, chocolate, garlic, white, etc. These are aged 18 years and the mix and match options are endless! The rest of the store is filled with olive oil fusions and infusions (they are different) such as: chipotle, black truffle, white truffle, butter, lemon, sun-​dried tomato, walnut, etc. It is incredible! The employees are also quite handy in suggesting which oils to pair with which balsamic.
The best part? SAMPLING! Ferrari has bread and cups at EVERY oil and vinegar which you can sample. You are left on your own, not rushed, and don’t have to buy anything. Imagine a wine tasting but with vinegar and oil and for FREE. It is heavenly! It is like going to Yogurtland and sampling all the yogurts and toppings… but classier. Oil and vinegar not your thing? Ferrari also sells homemade pastas, infused salts, infused sugars, and even some chocolate and coffee. They also create gift baskets based on your specific needs (prices vary based on the amount of product and can be as high as $ 200).
Looking for a place for your small event or wedding shower? Ferrari is the place! They accommodate private tasting parties or «picnics» where you bring your own cheese, wine, salamis, etc at about $ 10/​per person. Once again, Ferrari is not just a store, but an experience/​event!
Prices are about $ 19.99 for a 325ml bottle of vinegar or oil. With a Unilocal check-​in (at the time of this review), one can get 10% off.
So while you may dream about Ferrari cars lining up your driveway; you can find me drinking little cups of oil and vinegar like it is water. Although, I won’t be like the employee who said she drinks about ½ cup of olive oil a day!

AMAZING PLACE!!! When I came here with a friend for the first time in November, I thought we’d be in and out really quick. Boy was I wrong. I sampled things for 45 minutes. I sampled so many olive oils and balsamics… it was out of control. I bought like 8 things. Lesson learned… put more money in the meter than you think you’ll need, or use their free parking in the back if there is a spot available. I was lucky I didn’t get a ticket, but I definitely did lose track of time and ran back to the car afterwards.
I’ve since been back several times for Christmas gifts, etc.
Favorites for salad dressing… white peach balsamic or grandfather balsamic with a basic olive oil. Also, fig balsamic with blood orange olive oil.
I had only had grocery store balsamic before this place and I thought I didn’t like balsamic before I came here. Ferrari changed my mind. Now I make all my own salad dressings with their products based on what I feel like that day. Why buy the grocery store stuff with perservatives when you can get the real deal (that tastes way better) here?
If I didn’t live in LA, this would be on my list of places to visit when I was in town. When I have friends in town in the future, I’m taking them here. It’s a one of a kind place.
Also, the garlic, onion, and truffle salt… A++++
This is some high quality stuff. To the owners who brought it to studio city… thank you!

All I can say is THANK YOU! I am an olive oil addict. I use it for everything, from salad and pasta, to meat and veggies. What’s great about Ferrari, is there are so many selection that pair with the different dishes I make. From lemon and basil infused, to garlic with Romano cheese. There is also a spicy one that is fabulous with pasta… plus the customer service is great. Everyone seemed to actually ENJOY their job.
Anyway, just wanted to let the world know how happy I am that this place opened in our sweet Studio City.
