Extra Virgin, an Olive Ovation

General information

Our name says it all, An Olive Ovation. At the heart of what we do is the celebration of the olive. Why? Not because martinis are hot or because extra virgin olive oils are trendy, but because olives and olive oil have sustained us for 5000 years.

We present this rich world history in a charming shopping destination evoking an old world market. Our tasting bar and knowledgeable staff provide a relaxed atmosphere to taste, learn and select the best delicious, healthy food and traditionally produced artisan made products. Of course we include fine balsamic and other vinegars as a natural complement to the olive oils. The experience is completed with exquisite products for the kitchen, bath, and home that naturally accompany our specialty food and wine selections.

While preparing to open St. Louis' first olive oil market we considered the various franchises and single distributor companies that operate the bulk only olive oil shops across the country. Although these options are an easy way to get a store started we decided that they were too limiting for our customers. Several of our best selling olive oils and vinegars are available "on tap", but we are proud to offer St. Louis' best selection of artisan produced and estate bottled oils and vinegars. Our focus is quality and customer service.
