It's no secret that we love to support Ohio products. We try to mark each Ohio product in our store, so that you can easily support them, as well. Sometimes we come across items that aren't easy to label. If a peanut is grown in Virginia but is seasoned and distributed from Athens, Ohio, does it qualify as an Ohio product? (We say yes.) As Warren Taylor from Snowville Creamery (a no-question-about-it Ohio staple) points out, sometimes we have to "play God."
This is all to say that we have a new collection of Greece-grown olive oils on our shelves, and although they are clearly produced overseas, they do have a Franklin County connection. These (incredible) olive oils are on our shelves because two sisters in Dublin, Ohio worked to create a direct connection between these small batch producers and the good ol' 6-1-4. We're proud to carry these olive oils, and equally proud of the hundreds of entrepreneurs in our home state who work hard to make sure we eat well.
