Our Story

Olive and Hive is a family-owned business with deep roots in the Lake Oconee, Georgia community.

Welcome!

My culinary philosophy is to be mindful. A great meal means savoring the tastes that only nature and different cultures can create. Begin with the best ingredients, keep meals simple, and enjoy flavors in their pure form.

That’s why I love Olive + Hive. As a long-time artist, wife, mother, and friend living in Lake Oconee, I see how much getting together means to people.

Food and flavor are the cherished connectors that unite us.

Like a theme in a beautiful painting, food should entice a delicious experience. We invite you to join us at Olive + Hive to explore the tastes of olive oils from around the world, balsamic vinegars from Modena, Italy, artisan-made small-batch chocolates and pastas, and honey from local beekeepers.

Olives, grapes, chocolate, and honey – beautiful ingredients for beautiful tastes. We support local farmers and artisans and are proud to share their heritage products born from centuries of cultural traditions.

Step into another culinary world, right in your own home.

From our table to yours,

Tina Perry

Much like wine-making, climate, soil and the way the olives are harvested and pressed all have an impact on an oil’s character.
