About Evoolution

Our Mission

Inspiring you to discover the world of olive oil through better taste and health is our passion.

Evoolution stands for the evolution of olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is among the most widely studied foods shown to be beneficial to our health. It is associated with improved cardiovascular health, disease prevention, and cognitive preservation, and it also happens to be wonderfully tasteful. But there’s a divide between what you’ll find down the cooking oil aisle of supermarkets, and what is truly healthful and tasteful extra virgin olive oil. That divide usually comes down to freshness, as olive oil is much the same as any other fruit juice; it’s best when it’s fresh. Fresh olive oil means olives picked and crushed within hours, stored and handled with care, and resupplied every six months by taking advantage of the harvest in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Your own sensory experience is the best judge of freshness, and that’s the reason we invite you to try before you buy at our tasting bars.

Evoolution values putting quality first, innovating to bring you the best olive oil experience, and engaging with you to educate and inspire new ideas for great food.

Canadian Owned and Operated From Day 1

Evoolution is Canada's olive oil connection. We receive a steady supply of the freshest extra virgin olive oils from all over the world to ensure you never go without. We bottle and label everything locally on site to ensure quality and freshness.

So while Canada itself does not produce olive oil in appreciable quantities, Evoolution is here to bridge the gap to provide Canadians with fresh, quality EVOO and balsamic vinegar.

The People of Evoolution

Evoolution began when three childhood friends felt that there was a gap in Canada for fresh, quality extra virgin olive oil. The kind of oils that are the pride and joy of chefs and producers in Italy and the Mediterranean as a whole.

These friends opened the first Evoolution location in 2012 in Edmonton. It was an emporium of flavour, inspiration, and quality cooking ingredients that became a staple in the community. Evoolution has grown to 6 locations across Alberta, stretching from North to South and into the Rocky Mountains.

Besides being the home of the freshest EVOOs in the world, what makes the company special is the people. Everyone needs to eat, but not everyone loves food the way our staff do. We love food, flavour, and above all, sharing that passion with everyone who walks through our doors. Whether you are looking to learn more about how to incorporate EVOO into your diet, seeking inspiration for your next salad dressing, or want to taste all the incredible flavours we have on offer, our staff are always eager to share how Evoolution can be a part of your kitchen at home.
