Private Tasting Parties at An Olive Ovation
Schedule an after hours tasting for you and your friends. It's an epicurean experience like no other as you step into An Olive Ovation and are immersed in an old world European market. The aroma of olives, olive oil, and spices sets the mood for the extraordinary adventure that awaits your taste buds.

From our best area chefs:
Love going to Extra Virgin an Olive Ovation. I want to have everything there in my pantry.
- Ben Poremba, Olio, Elaia
Marianne Prey is a wealth of knowledge. Every time I go in there, I learn something new about olive oil.
- Gerard Craft, Niche, Brasserie, Taste, Pastaria
I like Extra Virgin An Olive Ovation for imported mustards, vinegars and olive oils. Incorporating these ingredients into a dish can change it significantly. For instance, a Zinfandel vinegar over a dessert is divine, and mustard in a soup is quite amazing.
