O Live Brooklyn

The olive oils are superb. The flavored oils and vinegars are completely delightful. If you have to have real olive oil than this is the place for you. I buy for myself and give their products as gifts. Additionally the customer service is excellent. I placed a big order to be shipped for Christmas and one of the bottles arrived broken. The staff replaced it AND re-​shipped it for free without batting an eye. This is one of my absolute favorite places to shop.

Great idea and charming shop, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The complimentary heat sealing is great when buying for a gift. I think the prices are a little steep though… Union Market around the block sells local olive oil for $ 6.99… the smallest bottle here is double that price. Considering the turnover in the area, I’m not sure O Live Brooklyn will survive with its high pricing.

Love this sweet gem! It’s a perfect spot for a gift for that person you don’t know what to get or just for yourself!
The concept of flavored olive oils on tap or flavored vinegars is so much fun. You can try each one so you know exactly what you’re getting and they bottle it right in front of you.
I’ve bought these as gifts and for my own pleasure and can’t wait for another excuse to go back. Goes great with a wine and cheese night. All you need is a baguette.
Small gift selections in the back section, so you can make a great gift basket out of it too!

I bought the dill infused olive oil and I LOVE it. I use it on chicken and Brussels sprouts regularly. The flavor is amazing and unlike anything I’ve ever tasted.

The best EVOO and balsamic vinegar! Yum! Our favorite is the fig infused and traditional. It goes quickly in our house as our kids appreciate it too.

Love this place! Everyone is really helpful and you can try everything before you buy!

Every year I say I’m going to try to buy local for Christmas and every year I usually fair miserably. However, with an olive oil shop in my neighborhood, I felt like it was a no-​brainer to stop by and purchase some gifts for the cooks in my family. Success!
The staff is great, especially for someone like me (aka I hate walking into a store when it is empty because I’m the worst at small-​talk-​with-​perky-​employees). The owner walked over and gave me a brief overview of the store and the progression of olive oils on tap from front to back (as well the delicious looking balsamic vinegars). After that, he melted into the background as I self-​consciously tested olive oils in the way that the handy guides hanging around the store instructed me to. I liked almost all of them, but I knew that I had to stick to the basics for gifts for others, and so picked out a fairly mild oil. In addition to having the «olive crush date» printed on each vessel, the oil of your choice is poured into the bottle right in front of you, so you know it’s fresh. As a bonus, it’s fairly reasonably priced when you compare it to the extra virgin olive oils at the nearby Key Food.
I haven’t given the gift yet but I’m sure it will be put to good use. In addition, if you bring back the bottle, you can receive $ 1 off a refill, which is a nice way to promote recycling, and a good excuse to make a return trip.

Cazden is a genius! Seriously listen to this man, he knows his olive oil and balsamic vinegar. He just made me a culinary genius in one visit. Leaving with Persian lime olive oil and Alfoos mango white balsamic.

We stopped by a Saturday afternoon. The staff is helpful in guiding the buying experience. We picked out a great tasting extra virgin olive oil and the balsamic vinaigrette. They carry a huge variety of olive oils and balsamic flavors. I use them all the time for salads and finishing dishes. If you reuse your bottle, you save a dollar on your purchase.

The location is ideal, it’s just a quick walk from The Barclays Center and is in a great shopping area!
The interior of the store is also excellent, very bright and welcoming to the customer.
They sell so many different types of Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars, which are delicious! Not to mention many local specialties (soaps, honey and marinara sauce to name a few).
The staff is also very helpful and friendly (willing to explain the variety that the store has to offer the second you arrive).
Check this place out, you’ll be glad you did!
