ShopRite Olive Oil: What the Store Brand Offers
Search for ShopRite olive oil and the first thing worth knowing is that ShopRite's own olive oil is not sold under the ShopRite name. It sits under two own brands — Bowl & Basket and Wholesome Pantry — each listed on ShopRite's website as "A ShopRite® Brand", alongside a shelf of national names from Colavita to California Olive Ranch. We went through ShopRite's own online shop on 2 October 2026 and read every own-label olive oil listing we could find: the grades, the ingredient panels, the sizes, and what is and is not said about origin. This article sets that out plainly, decodes the grade words against the US standards, and shows where the one detail most shoppers want — where the oil comes from — is actually written down.
For our own oil, see our Cold-Pressed Single-Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Marrakech (500ml).
The Short Answer
- ShopRite's own-label olive oil is sold under Bowl & Basket and Wholesome Pantry. Both are labelled "A ShopRite® Brand" on ShopRite's own product listings, checked on 2 October 2026.
- Bowl & Basket carries two bottled oils: Extra Virgin Olive Oil (17, 25.5 and 51 fl oz, plus a 101 fl oz Value Size) and Classic Olive Oil (17, 25.5, 51 and 101 fl oz).
- Bowl & Basket Classic declares "Refined Olive Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil" — a blend, which under the US grade standards is the U.S. Olive Oil grade rather than a virgin grade. The Extra Virgin bottle declares a single ingredient.
- Both panels show the same 120 calories and 14 g of fat per tablespoon. "Classic" describes the blend, not a lighter oil.
- The Wholesome Pantry olive oils we found on ShopRite's site are two organic extra virgin cooking sprays; the listing flags them as organic.
- None of the own-label listings we opened names a country of origin, a harvest date, an acidity figure or a polyphenol figure. That is normal for supermarket own label, not a ShopRite failing — and US law requires the country of origin on the imported bottle itself.
Which ShopRite Own Brands Carry Olive Oil
ShopRite's online shop lists olive oil under its Pantry > Oils category, and a search for olive oil returns own-label and national brands side by side. Reading the brand information on each listing settles which bottles are ShopRite's own: Bowl & Basket and Wholesome Pantry listings both carry the line "A ShopRite® Brand", and the legal note at the foot of every listing names Wakefern Food Corp.
| Own brand | Olive oil products listed (2 October 2026) | Grade named | Origin stated on the listing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bowl & Basket | Extra Virgin Olive Oil (17, 25.5, 51 fl oz; 101 fl oz Value Size); Classic Olive Oil (17, 25.5, 51, 101 fl oz); Olive Oil Cooking Spray | Extra virgin, or a refined-and-virgin blend | None |
| Bowl & Basket Specialty | Extra Virgin Olive Oil Non-Stick Cooking Spray (non-aerosol); Avocado Oil & Extra Virgin Olive Oil (16.9 fl oz) | Extra virgin; a 50/50 blend with avocado oil | The blend's listing says only "Imported" |
| Wholesome Pantry | Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray; Organic Extra Virgin Non-Aerosol Spray Olive Oil | Organic extra virgin | None |
Two things stand out. First, the range is genuinely broad for an own label — two bottled grades in four sizes each, plus sprays and a blend. Second, ShopRite separates the bottles by use on the listing itself: the Extra Virgin bottle is marked "For dressing & marinating", the Classic bottle "For sautéing & grilling". That is sensible, honest guidance, and more than many own labels print.
Ranges vary by store, and online listings change, so treat this as a dated snapshot rather than a permanent inventory.
Bowl & Basket Extra Virgin vs Classic: What the US Grades Say
The United States Standards for Grades of Olive Oil and Olive-Pomace Oil were published in the Federal Register on 28 April 2010 (75 FR 22363) and took effect on 25 October 2010. They are voluntary standards issued by the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, but they are the clearest public definition of what each grade word means in the US. Our guide to what extra virgin olive oil actually means covers the tasting-panel side in more depth.
| US grade | Free fatty acidity (as oleic acid) | Peroxide value | What it is | Bowl & Basket bottle that matches |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. Extra Virgin Olive Oil | Not more than 0.8 g per 100 g | Not more than 20 meq O₂/kg | Mechanically extracted; median of defects zero and fruitiness above zero | Extra Virgin Olive Oil — ingredient: "Extra Virgin Olive Oil" |
| U.S. Olive Oil | Not more than 1.0 g per 100 g | — | A blend of refined olive oil and virgin olive oils | Classic Olive Oil — ingredient: "Refined Olive Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil" |
Set against that table, ShopRite's two bottles resolve cleanly. Bowl & Basket Extra Virgin Olive Oil declares one ingredient, extra virgin olive oil. Bowl & Basket Classic Olive Oil declares "Olive Oil - Composed of Refined Olive Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil" — the blend that the standards call U.S. Olive Oil. ShopRite states that composition openly on the listing, which is to its credit.
What a blend like Classic gives up is most of the flavour and much of the phenolic content that make extra virgin distinctive, because refining strips both out. What it gains is a milder taste. It is not a lower-calorie product: both Bowl & Basket listings show 120 calories and 14 g of fat per tablespoon. The same naming confusion runs through the category, as our piece on light olive oil explains.
The Sprays, the Organic Line and the Avocado Blend
Beyond the two bottles, ShopRite's own labels cover three more formats, and each is worth reading carefully because the format changes what is in the can.
- Bowl & Basket Specialty Extra Virgin Olive Oil Non-Stick Cooking Spray declares a single ingredient, extra virgin olive oil, in a non-aerosol pump. The listing describes it as having "No Chemicals, Additives or Aerosols - Just the Oil".
- Wholesome Pantry Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray is an aerosol, and its ingredient panel reads "Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Grain Alcohol (added for clarity), Organic Soy Lecithin (prevents sticking)". ShopRite's listing flags it as organic — a genuine strength for a shopper who wants organic certification on a cooking spray.
- Bowl & Basket Specialty Avocado Oil & Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a declared 50/50 blend — "Avocado Oil 50%, Extra Virgin Olive Oil 50%" — with a stated smoke point of 425°F. It is a high-heat cooking blend, not an olive oil, and it is labelled as exactly that.
In our search of ShopRite's online shop on 2 October 2026, the Wholesome Pantry olive oils listed were these organic sprays rather than a bottled organic extra virgin oil. A shopper who wants an organic bottle at ShopRite will find it among the national brands instead — organic extra virgin bottles from Atlas, Botticelli and CENTO appeared in the same search. Our guide to what the organic label really means covers what that certification does and does not tell you.
The National Brands Beside the Own Label
ShopRite's olive oil search on 2 October 2026 returned bottles from Colavita, Filippo Berio, Botticelli, CENTO, Goya, Pompeian, California Olive Ranch, Graza, DeLallo, Rienzi and Atlas, alongside PAM sprays. Several of them say more about origin on the shelf than the own label does, and that deserves credit.
- California Olive Ranch lists a "100% California Extra Virgin Olive Oil" alongside its Global Blend — a named origin on the front. We cover both lines in our California Olive Ranch review.
- Atlas Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, on ShopRite's own listing, states "Oil extracted in Morocco from olives cultivated in our own farms" and carries organic and halal flags. That is unusually specific for a supermarket shelf, and we have written about the producer in our Atlas and Les Terroirs de Marrakech review.
- Colavita lists a "Premium Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil" alongside its Mediterranean and Premium Selection oils, so the origin wording differs from bottle to bottle within one brand. Our Colavita guide sets the lines out.
The practical point is simple: at ShopRite, the own label is the plain-spoken everyday choice, and the national brands are where named origins and organic bottles mostly sit. None of the own-label listings we read publishes an acidity figure, a polyphenol figure or a harvest date.
Where the Origin Information Actually Lives
None of the Bowl & Basket or Wholesome Pantry olive oil listings we opened states a country of origin, and the avocado blend says only "Imported". ShopRite's own legal note on every listing also warns that "actual product packaging and materials may contain additional and/or different" information from the website — which points in the same direction as the law.
Under 19 U.S.C. §1304, every article of foreign origin imported into the United States, or its container, must be marked "in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the article (or container) will permit" with the English name of its country of origin for the ultimate purchaser. So the bottle in the aisle carries an origin statement even when the website does not repeat it.
The honest advice for a ShopRite shopper is therefore unglamorous: turn the bottle round. A country-of-origin mark is a customs statement, not a grove, a cultivar or a harvest date — but it is real, it is legally required, and it is on the shelf rather than the screen. Our guide to choosing a quality olive oil works through the rest of the label checklist.
Three Fair Objections
"Isn't ShopRite the South African supermarket?" There are two. This article covers the US ShopRite, whose online shop is shoprite.com and whose own brands are Bowl & Basket and Wholesome Pantry. Shoprite in South Africa is a separate business with its own website, shoprite.co.za, and a different range. If you are shopping in South Africa, none of the product details above apply.
"Own-label olive oil is just the big brands in a cheaper bottle." ShopRite does not say who packs Bowl & Basket, so nobody outside the supply chain can confirm that either way. What the panels do show is that the own label is not one product: a single-ingredient extra virgin oil, a refined-and-virgin blend and an avocado blend are three materially different things, and ShopRite labels them as such.
"You don't publish acidity or polyphenol figures either." Correct, and we will not talk around it. Our current batch has not yet been analysed by an independent laboratory, so we have no figure to publish and will not imply one. What we can publish is the farm, how the trees are grown and how quickly the fruit is pressed — and when the batch is tested, the result goes up whatever it says.
Why Sidr & Stone
An article that spends this long on what a label does and does not declare has an obligation to be plain about its own. Sidr & Stone's olive oil is a single-estate Moroccan extra virgin, and everything below describes how it is grown and made rather than a laboratory figure — because we do not have one yet.
- Sidr & Stone's extra virgin olive oil comes from a single estate — our own family-owned farm near Marrakech, Morocco — and we control every step from tree to bottle, with no blending across origins.
- The Sidr & Stone grove is rain-fed, with no irrigation; the trees take what the season gives.
- Sidr & Stone's olives are organically grown, with no synthetic fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides (not yet certified; certification is in progress).
- Each Sidr & Stone release is a small, limited single-harvest batch; once it is gone, it is gone until the next harvest.
- Sidr & Stone's oil is cold-pressed within hours of harvest to protect flavour, aroma and polyphenols.
- It is unfiltered extra virgin, minimally processed, and may show a little natural sediment — normal in an unfiltered oil.
- It is 100% natural — a single ingredient, olive oil, with no additives.
- It is bottled in 500ml dark glass with a gold label to protect it from light.
- Sidr & Stone gives 10% of profits to charity, with fulfilment in the UK, EU, and US.
| What a buyer might want to see | Bowl & Basket listings (2 October 2026) | Sidr & Stone |
|---|---|---|
| Grade named | Published — extra virgin, or a refined-and-virgin blend | Published — extra virgin |
| Ingredient statement | Published on every listing | Published — olive oil, one ingredient |
| Country or region of origin | Not on the listing; on the bottle by law | Published — one farm on the plains outside Marrakech |
| Filtration stated | Not stated | Published — unfiltered |
| Free fatty acidity | Not published | Not published — current batch not yet analysed |
| Total polyphenols | Not published | Not published — no independent panel run yet |
We will not tell you Sidr & Stone is a better olive oil than anything on a ShopRite shelf — we have no laboratory result to put behind that claim. What we will say is that our oil is single-estate Moroccan, rain-fed, organically grown and cold-pressed within hours of harvest, and that the harvest details for the current batch are on the product page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ShopRite have its own olive oil?
Yes. ShopRite sells olive oil under its own brands Bowl & Basket and Wholesome Pantry, both labelled "A ShopRite® Brand" on its website. Bowl & Basket covers Extra Virgin and Classic bottles plus sprays and an avocado blend; Wholesome Pantry covers organic extra virgin sprays.
What is the difference between Bowl & Basket Extra Virgin and Classic olive oil?
The ingredient statement. Extra Virgin declares a single ingredient, extra virgin olive oil. Classic declares "Refined Olive Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil" — a blend that the US grade standards call U.S. Olive Oil rather than a virgin grade. ShopRite's listings suggest Extra Virgin for dressing and Classic for sautéing and grilling.
How do I check which ShopRite olive oil is the better buy for me?
Read the ingredient panel first, then the grade, then turn the bottle round for the country-of-origin mark. If the oil is the point of the dish — a dressing, a drizzle — choose a single-ingredient extra virgin oil; for frying, a blend is a reasonable everyday choice.
Is Bowl & Basket Classic olive oil lower in calories?
No. ShopRite's listings show 120 calories and 14 g of fat per tablespoon for both Bowl & Basket Classic and Bowl & Basket Extra Virgin. "Classic" describes a blend of refined and extra virgin oil, not a diet product.
How does Sidr & Stone compare with ShopRite's own-label olive oil?
It is a different kind of product. Bowl & Basket is an everyday supermarket oil with no origin on its listing; Sidr & Stone is a single-estate unfiltered extra virgin from one farm outside Marrakech. Neither currently publishes acidity or polyphenol figures.
Does ShopRite sell organic olive oil?
Yes. ShopRite's own Wholesome Pantry line lists organic extra virgin olive oil sprays, and on 2 October 2026 its online shop also listed organic extra virgin bottles from national brands including Atlas, Botticelli and CENTO.
Where can I buy Sidr & Stone olive oil?
Not at ShopRite — directly from our product page, as a limited single-harvest batch, with fulfilment in the UK, EU, and US.
Is olive oil a medicine?
No. Olive oil is a food, not a medicine. It has a long traditional history — including being honoured in the Prophetic Sunnah — and a substantial body of modern research, particularly around polyphenols, cardiovascular health, and the Mediterranean diet pattern. It can be a worthwhile part of a healthy routine, but it does not cure diseases and is not a substitute for medical care. Be cautious of any olive oil marketed with specific disease-cure claims.
Final Thoughts
ShopRite's own olive oil is easier to understand than the shelf makes it look. Bowl & Basket Extra Virgin is a single-ingredient extra virgin oil; Bowl & Basket Classic is a refined-and-virgin blend, and says so; the sprays and the avocado blend are labelled for what they are. ShopRite is open about composition and use — real strengths in an own label.
What the listings do not give you is where the olives grew, who milled them or when. The country of origin is on the bottle by law; the rest is the honest boundary of supermarket own label anywhere. For everyday cooking, most people are content with that. It matters more when the oil is meant to be the thing you taste. If you are comparing other US supermarkets, our guides to Kroger olive oil and Walmart olive oil apply the same method, and our olive oil brands A–Z maps the wider shelf.
Our Cold-Pressed Single-Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Marrakech (500ml) is single-estate, rain-fed and cold-pressed within hours of harvest, available as a limited single-harvest batch with fulfilment in the UK, EU, and US.
Our extra virgin olive oil is grown organically on our own single-estate farm on the plains outside Marrakech: we control every step from tree to bottle, and no synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers are used. It is not yet certified organic — certification is in progress, and we will publish it as soon as it comes through.
