Olive That and More just turned three and they are kicking off their third year in business by celebrating with friends and colleagues from the community all for a good cause: Toni’s Kitchen.

@OliveThat

Beyond Nutrition, Gus and Co., Little Daisy Bakery, Montclair Bread Co., Sweet Home Montclair, Take Back the Kitchen and Taste of Montclair will be a few of the friends that will be providing Olive That and More inspired dishes to share this evening while everyone gathers to raise funds for Toni’s Kitchen.

The brain child of husband and wife team Steve Lehrhoff and Jennifer O’Sullivan, Olive That! And More is an emporium of Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegar, infused vinegars and oils, and exotic sea salt. It’s a place to discover and get reacquainted with simplest of culinary pleasures, some good bread, some good olive oil, and great conversation.

To become experts in the area of olive oil and balsamic vinegar industry, Steve and Jennifer immersed themselves in the study, even going so far as to take a class at the Robert Mondavi Institute at UC Davis where they became friends with others in the industry.

The walls of the store are lined with large spouted stainless containers called fustis (foo-stee.) They contain more than 40 varieties of olive oil and balsamic vinegar from which individual bottles and samples are poured.  The sheer number of varietals is proof that this place is special.

The celebration takes place Thursday, October 22nd from 5:00-8:00 pm
