The Ancient Olive Employee Directory

The Ancient Olive is the first (and currently the only) tasting bar in Central Florida for ultra premium extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars from around the globe. Our oils are imported from Australia, Tunisia, Greece, Spain and Italy and are the freshest that can be purchased. We'll be able to tell our customers the date the olive was cr... ushed, as well as the chemical profile such as polyphenol and oleic acid levels. A large number of our oils are medal winners and are considered to be nutriceuticals! Many of the flavored oils will be agrumato, where the olive is crushed with whole citrus fruits like Persian limes, Eureka lemons or blood oranges. Our importer is present at the crush to ensure the purity, integrity and measure the chemical profile. Importantly, the EVOOs we sell will be imported from both hemispheres, but only at the peak of each growing season. That way our EVOOs will only be available for 6 months before we offer the new, fresh oils from the opposite hemisphere. There is no substitute for personal experience, and we enable and encourage our customers to try as many olive oils as they can under our expert guidance. We will then bottle the oils and vinegars in their presence, and they will be surprised to find and be rewarded by the rich variety and quality available at nearly the same price as branded generic olive oil! Our balsamics range from traditional aged balsamic from Modena, to flavored balsamics from Moden made in the traditional style whether it's infused with lavender, honey and ginger or espresso. Come in and taste the chemistry!Read More
