The Village Olive Grove

David Medeiros and his wife Barbara Anderson opened The Village Olive Grove to offer a full line of exceptional extra virgin olive oils and vinegars from around the world - including the much sought after hand-crafted ice wine vinegar and Verjus produced from the Niagara wine region of Ontario.

"Customers new to the use of fine extra virgin olive oils often do not realize that extra virgin olive oils have different taste profiles depending on which olives are used, where they are grown and how they are processed." David says.  "And as a result, some customers do not understand why fine extra virgin olive oils are priced higher than mass produced oils offered in most grocery stores."

To take the risk out of the purchase experience, The Village Olive Grove offers award winning extra virgin olive oils at a wide range of price points, as well as allowing customers to taste before they purchase.  Not only will the customer know that they like what they have selected but it also makes the buying experience fun.

"Our inspiration came partly from where the wine knowledge was 20 or so years ago.  Back then, there was limited selection and there were many tasting events and workshops to help educate folks about the different grapes and the distinct flavours associated with the grape and where it was grown."  David and Barbara are enjoying the interaction they have with their customers, to provide them with the opportunity to explore the different products which are sourced from a wide variety of countries and regions.

The unique and exceptional selection makes it easy to find a fine wedding or special occasion gift,  but many people also buy extra virgin olive oils and vinegars because of the health benefits.
