Olive Oil Lamps - creative and efficient

The Copperopolis Olive Oil Company, owned by John and Josie Ribeira, are not just purveyors of fine local olive oils and balsamics, they are also creators, inovators, and entrprenuers.
Embarking on a new journey in life by opening the Copperopolis Olive Oil Company have become a passion for both John and Josie. They have found ways to incorporate olive oil into almost every aspect of their lives, through food products, body products, household and kitchen products, and more.
Recently John gave new light to and old idea... oil lamps... with olive oil.

Olive oil was the main fuel for the oil lamp in ancient mediteranian cultures. Oil lamps themselves have been inexistense for nearly 6,000 years, traced back to the Neolithic, Later Stone Age, c. 8500 - 4500 BCE.

To make an olive oil lamp is simple and fast. It is also a safe and reliable light source, especially during power outages. Olive oil is a 99 percent pure renewable fuel that won't produce smoke or odor. Yet John has found that if you utilize one of their many flavored oils in your lamp a hint of the flavor can be detected in the air when the candle is lit.

If you would like to learn more about how to make your own olive oil lamp, visit the Copperopolis Olive Oil Company in Town Square and ask John to show you how. They carry all the supplies necessary to make your own, or you can purchase a handcrafted lamp on display.
