Their story
Chefs Life comes from Brian Malarkey, a San Diego chef known for his restaurants in the city. He launched the brand in early 2021 to bring the oils he relies on in professional kitchens to home cooks.
The company is based in San Diego's Little Italy, on Kettner Boulevard, and focuses on a short lineup of oils built for specific jobs in the kitchen.
How it's made
The oils are sourced from producers around the world and include non-GMO, single-origin, kosher and organic options. Some are blended for high-heat cooking, while others are meant for finishing a dish.
Why we carry them
We like Chefs Life for taking the guesswork out of which oil to use for searing and which to save for drizzling.
