Under his Big Paw label, Tony now offers a mind-boggling array of olives, olive oils, vinegars, balsamic wine vinegars, bread dippers and tapenades.

The olive oils are early and late harvest (flavored and unflavored) are pressed from olives Big Paw grows on three acres in St. Helena plus olives harvested from trees on estates and vineyards throughout the valley.

Big Paw produces their vinegars from grapes grown in the surrounding vineyards. Flavors include raspberry, strawberry and fig in different permutations. The balsamic vinegars come in an equally wide variety of flavors but are heavier and sweeter because the grapes are boiled prior to any other processing.

Big Paw has recently moved from their original home in St. Helena’s Folie a Deux Winery to a far larger space in Vacaville’s Mare Island where they will eventually have a sale’s room. Currently, their products are available only at Farmers Markets--nine during the off season and thirty during the peak of summer. Big Paw's products are also featured at Roxanne's in Larkspur and La Toque in Rutherford. Please visit their web site.
