Based in the North side of Park Slope, O Live Brooklyn is the premier destination for professional and home chefs, organic food lovers, CSA and Coop members, as well as all types of “foodies” who appreciate pure, high quality, organic and all natural foods. Family-owned and operated, we import our products from Veronica Foods who have had a presence in the olive oil industry for the past 90 years
. They work in close partnership with farmers in both hemispheres to deliver fresh, high quality products to us all year long. They personally source all of their products and never deal with middlemen. We strongly believe that extra virgin olive oil is like fruit juice: highly perishable. This is one of the reasons why we post the Harvest Date on every oil we offer. In addition to the Harvest Date, we are extremely obsessive when it comes to the chemistry of our olive oils. The chemistry of a particular oil can tell you many things. It tells us the polyphenol count (antioxidant value), the measurement which dictates flavor intensity, to whether it's suitable for high heat cooking, based on its unique free fatty acid measurement and fruit condition. We also measure oleic acid in our oils, the monounsaturated fat in Olive Oil that makes it so healthy. With over 50 unique products on tap, we are confident that we can assist you in selecting an oil or vinegar that best fits your needs. Sample packs and gift boxes are also available. We invite you to come in and taste the difference! Sample everything in the store and feel free to ask our highly trained staff any questions you may have regarding our oils, vinegars, potential recipes and pairings.
