Discover more about Figone's Olive Oil

Figone's Olive Oil isn't just a store; it's an immersive experience that connects visitors to Sonoma's agricultural heritage and the Figone family's enduring passion for quality. Located on the historic Sonoma Plaza, this charming establishment invites you to step into a world where olive oil is more than just a condiment – it's a story, a tradition, and a way of life. The Figone family's olive oil legacy began in 1928 when Egildo Francheschi planted an olive tree sapling on his asparagus farm in the San Joaquin Valley. This single tree provided fruit for his family year after year, laying the foundation for what would become Figone's Olive Oil Company. In 1974, Egildo's granddaughter, Liana, and her husband, Aldo, honored his memory by planting a new grove of Mission and Manzanillo olive trees. For years, the family cured olives for themselves and sold the excess to local stores and canneries. In 1991, Frank Figone, Egildo's great-grandson, caught sight of his first H-press and was immediately captivated. He purchased his own press and began making olive oil in his great-grandfather's asparagus packing shed, marking the birth of Figone's Olive Oil Company. Today, Frank continues to operate the business with a deep respect for tradition and a commitment to quality. Visiting Figone's Olive Oil is a sensory delight. The tasting room offers a complimentary tasting of their premium extra virgin olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars.

Beyond the tasting experience, Figone's offers a range of products that celebrate the olive and the Italian heritage of the family. Elegant bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar make exquisite gifts or souvenirs. Olive wood products, such as cutting boards and utensils, add a touch of rustic charm to any kitchen. Beautiful Italian ceramics and linens evoke the warmth and hospitality of the Italian countryside. In recent years, Figone's has expanded its offerings to include the 'Three Sisters Grove' bath and body line, named after Frank's three daughters. These products are made with fresh-pressed olive oil and other natural ingredients, providing a luxurious and nourishing experience for the skin.
