Our New Adventure

– Barbara and Steven Thompson

My husband Steven and I are so excited to be the new owners of Crystal City Olive Oil! Steven and I are originally from Centre County, PA. We have lived in the Southern Tier of NY since late 2003.

I have been with Wendy and Bob Oppenheim at Crystal City Olive Oil since the doors opened on November 10, 2012, and I have been the manager of the Corning Store for the past nine years. I have learned from them and with them so much about quality extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Fast forward ten years later, Wendy and Bob are retiring, and Steven and I are ready to continue the wonderful journey they started with Crystal City Olive Oil. We look forward to bringing you some of the best and freshest olive oils from all over the world as well as the finest balsamic vinegars from Modena, Italy.

Stop by one of our two locations and enjoy free tastings and conversation. Let Steven and I share with you the many ways to use our high quality olive oil in your everyday life. One thing I have learned over the last 10 years is that you enter our store as strangers but leave as friends. We can’t wait to see you!
