Even though the store has been opened for over a month, today was the Grand Opening of Beyond The Olive in Pasadena.
This store is not a franchise and offers some fantastic products most related to olives and balsamic vinegar. They even have a real olive tree out front. One of the main attractions is the bulk section where you can buy in bulk i.e. you buy a bottle and then fill it and pay per ounce prices.
The bottles you buy are dark primarily to keep the oil preserved. Light is a major enemy of olive oil and can cause the oil to turn rancid if exposed to light, direct sunlight for extended period of time.
Grand Opening Celebration TODAY!!! Stop by and meet Alexandra Devarenne and taste some great California Olive Oils…. https://bit.ly/gEfo6
