Martha Stewart’s Go-To Olive Oil Just Released Its 2026 Blend

When Martha Stewart named her favorite extra virgin olive oil, culinary enthusiasts around the world took note. The doyenne of entertaining claimed that Flamingo Estate’s Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the oil she reaches for daily. In a fireside chat with Flamingo Estate founder Richard Christiansen and David and Nina Kohler (yes, like the kitchen sinks), Stewart said Flamingo Estate is the “only olive oil” she uses at home, and the brand just dropped its 2026 lineup.

Flamingo Estate’s California olive oils are pressed by a fourth-generation olive farmer in Ojai, California, from the fruit of 150-year-old trees. Now, the brand is debuting more liquid gold full of Italian tradition: an ultra-fresh oil called “olio nuovo.”Read on for some of our other favorite picks, including this year’s heritage olive oil, an infused trio, and a magnum-sized bottle of the good stuff.

Flamingo Estate Olio Nuovo

Flamingo Estate Olio Nuovo is freshly squeezed from rare varietals like Andalucian Hojiblanca olives, but any pulp and bits of fruit aren’t filtered out. This live fruit means the olio nuovo is teeming with antioxidants and triple the polyphenols of regular olive oil. True olio nuovo is typically hard to find because it doesn’t last longer than a couple of months after bottling — all the pulpy goodness that gives it its complex flavor also causes it to spoil faster. It’s only released once a year, after the first autumn olive harvest.

Try this olive oil with a hunk of crusty bread and flaky salt or drizzled over fresh pasta — anywhere its electric green color, fresh peppery flavor, and buttery texture will shine. Flamingo Estate only made 150 16-ounce bottles, which must be consumed within three months of bottling — it’s that fresh. It’s also available in a 1.5-liter keepsake magnum bottle. 

Flamingo Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The 2026 harvest of Flamingo Estate’s signature olive oil is not to be missed. The olive oil is pressed from the hand-picked fruit from the same historic groves. The result is brilliantly green, lively, and peppery, with soft fruity notes. Its smoke point makes it ideal for roasting and baking, but you can also use it for dipping, drizzling, and finishing to get a full appreciation of its complex flavor.

Flamingo Estate Personalized Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The holiday season might be over, but we love this thoughtful gift any time of year. You can add a personalized message to Flamingo Estate’s iconic Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil, hand-inscribed onto the label by a calligrapher. Each bottle comes in an embossed gift box, making an unparalleled host or housewarming gift.

Flamingo Estate White Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Inspired by the Italian tradition of summer truffle hunting, this oil shows off the treasured white truffle’s heady, intense aroma. The final result is nutty and earthy — the perfect way to add delicate flavor and umami to almost any dish. A little goes a long way here, which makes the decadent price tag feel like a worthy investment.

Heirloom Garlic Olive Oil

This is nothing like the fake-tasting garlic olive oil that masquerades as the real deal in supermarkets. Most of that is made with chemicals and filler oils instead of actual garlic. Not so here. Flamingo Estate extracts the oil from soft-necked, mild artichoke garlic and infuses it into cold-pressed oil from peppery Coratina olives. Try this savory, buttery olive oil on roasts, warm salads, and pasta dishes.

Flamingo Estate Olive Oil Trio

We love this trio of olive oils, featuring Flamingo Estate’s signature olive oil, savory garlic oil, and bright chili oil — each of which uses the brand’s heritage EVOO as its base. We’re fans of the garlic oil’s warm depth, and the chili oil is infused with sun-dried Guajillo chilies for a light, fruity heat. All three are great for adding extra layers of flavor to scrambled eggs, pasta, and roast chicken.
