Oliva

I love supporting local businesses in Charlottesville and Oliva is one of my favorites! Robert and his staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. And the store itself is incredible - it even has a tasting bar to try the many different olive oils and basalmics they carry! Oliva offers curbside pickup, global shipping, and free local delivery. We've taken advantage of these services several times over the past several months which made our holiday shopping during the pandemic both safe and stress-free!

Really impressive selection! The store is clean and very inviting. You are able to sample the products and the ones I sampled were amazing. Definitely will be going back. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Great store and great product!

Just left Olivia - fantastic experience! We picked out multiple items for a gift basket and it could not have been any easier. The store is extremely clean, the team is very knowledgeable and they were super helpful in trying to pick out some special items for a Christmas gift. Their flat rate shipping cost was also better than most stores in the area. Highly recommend! This is an excellent local business and we will be back in the very near future.

This is a great local store offering excellent products and selection. It is very unique and different, has a huge selection of olive oil and vinegar, daring you to try different things. In addition they have some other great items, from picnic baskets, candles, crackers, and spreads to natural deodorants. I came in and ordered a picnic basket for my wife for valenties day and Robert, the owner, was excellent. Not only did he place my order promptly and kept me personally updated, to my surprise when I came to pick it up, it was beautifully wrapped with a nice red bow without me asking or requesting it. The service was excellent and beyond expectations.

Oliva is a great place to go for gifts, particularly for your culinary-minded friends and family members. Their oils and balsamics and exquisite and their owner Robert and his staff are a pleasure to meet and deal with. I'm looking forward to using including their products in my client holiday gift baskets this year! Highly recommend you stop in!

This store has incredible selection of olive oils and balsamic. I was also able to find some other locally inspired products such as a variety of spices and rubs named after the area. I like to buy the products as gifts as they are able to nicely package the items in wraps, tissue paper and gift bag where no other packaging is needed. Great selection, presentation, and service!

RUN don't walk! I am a huge vinegar person - I put it on salads, ice cream, bread... you name it. I stopped in today in search of something more interesting than the standard vinegar you find at the grocery store. The woman working was incredibly knowledgable, friendly, and patient. She had great recommendations and let me try everything I was curious about. I went home with a medium size bottle and I'm sure I'll be back very soon to stock up on more flavors. The prices are more than fair for the quantity and quality that you get. Obsessed!

Excellent retailer of all things fine and fun. The staff at Oliva is kind and helpful, always willing to go above and beyond to help their customers. We appreciate your service to the Charlottesville community and beyond!

Thank you for your generosity to UVA Nursing staff. Can’t wait to try the Chocolate Espresso Peanut Spread!!!

UPDATE: Tried the spread and it was AMAZING!!! Thanks again!

The owner was incredibly knowledgeable and carried some really tasty olive oils! I personally recommend the olive wood smoked olive oil.

Oliva is the best. Drive from Richmond when we need to stock up and it's well worth the trip!

Amazing service!

Unbelievable and fabulous. A DEFINITE YES on a return visit. Thank you.

A fantastic store with a wide variety of goodies from around the world!

Awesome selection and great customer service!
