Next time you find yourself bored or looking for something different to do in the city, may we suggest Olivier and Co. It’s a newly opened specialty store at the second floor of Central Square in BGC selling—wait for it—olive oils. How specialized, no?
It is sure to be a hit among the foodie community—the chefs and the mga chef-chefans—and/or the natural sensuals, because O&Co encourages clients to smell and to taste, to get a whiff of their products. For anyone looking to learn something new, too, this might be one place for you.
Because here, you’ll learn that olive oil is almost like wine. There are many different variants, each nuanced according to the year the olives were grown, to the land where they are harvested, how it’s harvested, and finally process. There are also condiments available, as well as delights, and everything else related. The best part: they’re all for you try.
O&Co. just opened over the weekend and between you and me, now is the perfect time to swing by. There’s a French guy manning the booth, so any questions you may have or clarifications you may need about olive oils and how to use them, you’ll get direct from source and expert.
Besides, the shop is quietly tucked at the second level of Central Square, you know, where the cinemas are, so in case you want to blow Monday off, walang makakahuli.
