Our Story
The Olive & The Grape was born from a deeply personal journey of healing, purpose, and a desire to help others live well. After a serious auto accident left the founder with multiple injuries and chronic pain, she began rethinking what health and wellness truly meant. That season led her to the Mediterranean way of eating and living, where simple ingredients, quality olive oils, and authentic balsamics became part of a more nourishing lifestyle.
What began as a small store in Mentor-on-the-Lake grew into a trusted destination for people seeking real products, honest education, recipes, and support in making healthier choices. Through relationships with family-owned estates and trusted producers around the world, The Olive & The Grape continues to offer premium olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and Mediterranean pantry staples made with integrity. Even through life’s unexpected challenges, the mission has remained the same: to help people nourish themselves and their families with authentic, high-quality products and simple choices that support a healthier life.

What Customers Are Saying
My relationship with The Olive and The Grape started over 15 years ago with a chance Groupon purchase, and I haven't stopped! All of the products are amazing superior quality, and Candice is so very knowledgeable about all of the products in the store. The monthly events and classes are topnotch and they bring in both new and old customers. I will never go anywhere else for olive oils, balsamics, or spices. For someone that can not eat American wheat, the selection of pasta made with Italian flour is delightful. I will continue my patronage for years to come.

TOATG has been our go to store for all of our 4H buyer gifts for the past 9 years. Candice is able to put together a substantial gift that we can give our market buyers. We come back year after year because our buyers rave about the products. They are excited to try something new each year.

The Olive and the Grape is truly something very special. Candice has carefully sourced some of the most beautiful imported olive oils, aged balsamic vinegars, and imported pastas I've ever tasted — the kind of products that keep you coming back for more! She's also a knowledgeable Young Living distributor, and her passion for essential oils is just as contagious as her love of good food. As a health coach, she ties it all together with genuine expertise and a heart for helping people feel their best. She's generous with her knowledge, passionate about what she does, and every product she stands behind speaks for itself. Highly, highly recommend.
