Extra Virgin, an Olive Ovation in Clayton has launched a new club to satisfy your taste for the finer things in life. Four times a year, members of Olive Ovations can get their hands on new and limited releases along with reserve oils that don’t ordinarily pop up in retail shops. Select vinegars and specialty foods make the deal even more exclusive.
Each package costs around $75. (Pay a bit extra for shipping or stop by the store.) The first selection of fine foods will be available later this month. The main attraction: Mannucci Droandi, an organic, DOP olive oil from Tuscany. “The new harvest hasn’t arrived in this country yet,” said owner Marianne Prey. To sign up, call the store at 314.727.6464.
