BIG PAW Grub uses only 100% certified California first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil for our flavor infused olive oils. This high quality olive oil provides the ideal carrier for the natural flavorings that we use. We specialize in wild herbs and mushrooms that are gathered in the field. These foraged herbs or mushrooms are designated on the bottle along with the location and year of harvest. For example, our Wild Sage Olive Oil bottle notes that the sage is harvested in the Mayacamas Mountains of northern Napa Valley.

Because our ingredients are foraged by hand, our window for harvest is limited by nature to a few weeks every year. In 1997 the harvest for sage ran from late summer until the beginning of the rainy season. During that short time we gathered as much sage as possible, taking care to pick only the best runners. This painstaking process for our wild flavorings means there is a low yield, and that we frequently run out before the next year’s harvest.

We practice minimal movement of our oils and vinegars, believing that high speed bottling has an overall negative impact on the product. Powered pumps and high-pressure movement of the oil through hoses, hoppers and tanks oxidizes the oil and increases the possibility of contamination. We move our oil by gravity and via presurized nitrogen in sealed stainless steel tanks. — a

movement distance of only 6 feet from barrel to bottle keeps exposure to air at a minimum.

Our flavor infusion process is done individually in the bottle. Each bottle is heat pasteurized and corked while warm. This helps to contribute to the robust flavor and insures that each bottle is sterile and wholesome. Slight variations in flavor may occur because not every branch of wild sage is the same! However all of the flavors in the BIG PAW line have intense flavor — this is the main difference between BIG PAW olive oil and other flavored olive oils on the market. Not all oil & vinegar infusers go through the labor intensive process used at BIG PAW. We produce the highest quality full flavored oils and vinegars on the market.

You will TASTE the difference.! Absolutely NO SHORT CUTS are taken.

Big Paw prides itself on delivering unique and high-quality products to our customers. Because to us, customer satisfaction is the most important aspect of our business. As part of this philosophy, we also offer PRIVATE LABELLING to all our customers. Here’s the process:

Select an olive oil, bread dipper or vinegar that you think your customers, family, friends, colleagues, and/or clients will enjoy. Design a label (or have us design one) with YOUR NAME, YOUR LOGO, YOUR MESSAGE, OR EVEN YOUR PICTURE on it. Decide on the appropriate quantity. Call us to fine-tune the details and place your order. It’s that easy!

Imagine the possibilities… you can have a delicious, high-quality, gourmet olive oil or vinegar labeled with your personalized label. This can be given away as parting gifts for your wedding or parties, for family and friends during holidays, for clients and customers to show your appreciation, or, if you own your own business, you can even resell the product in your store (Big Paw currently does private labelling and individualized product development for half a dozen companies.) We’ve done private labelling for hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and more. Our many custom ers have included the Grosvenor Hotel, Sutter Home winery, Hare Hollow Gourmet Products, Pink Mansion Bed & Breakfast, Folie a Deux winery in Napa Valley, Zino’s Restaurant, Brutocao vineyards, the Smokehouse Cafe, Napa Valley Ovens bakery, AccountantsUSA, and more.

Our facilities allow us to label your bottles either using a paper label (like we do our own bottles), using silk-screening to give it a sleek finish or using professional etching (carving your name, logo, etc. directly onto the bottle). In addition, we can gift-wrap, raffia-tie, dip wax tops for your bottles, and otherwise personalize your order. Minimum purchase is 12 bottles (1 case) and prices will vary based on what you would like done. Just contact us and we can discuss ideas.
