Olive Oils



Olive oil is a vegetable oil obtained solely from the fruit of the olive tree, a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin. It is regarded as a healthy dietary oil due to its high content of monounsaturated fat. Graded according to quality, degree of acidity, and production process, four varieties are most common: extra virgin, virgin, semi fine, and pure. Uses include searing and frying foods, or poured over cooked vegetables and meat. Use sparingly, however as its use can be overdone.

Selecting an olive oil is quite simple; taste some and pick the one you like. We offer both French and Italian oils, extra virgin as well as pure. We do, perhaps favor the French oils. We simply enjoy their flavor more, particularly Huilerie D'Opio Moulin de la Brague extra virgin. We could bathe in it.

Store your oils in a spot close at hand, but away from heat and light. Remember, our packaging is beautiful, so leave the containers out and impress those discriminating guests.

Try just one oil or perhaps a vinegar, then see if you notice a difference in your cooking. We think you will.

Cucina Viva Extra Virgin Olive Oil NEW!

When Mike said he thought we needed to expand our “arsenal” of olive oils, I went directly to the source, my Italiano friend at one of Chicago’s largest importers of European foodstuffs. “Hey Phil, what olive oil do YOU use?” “Well, that depends on what I’m making,” he said. I should have known that, shouldn’t I?

Anyway, after some “educational discourse”, he revealed his choice- Cucina Viva. When he's making pasta or a dressing for salad, Cucina Viva provides the excellent flavor profile he's looking for, matched with a reasonable price.

Want to try an olive oil with a combination of fruity and sweet flavors with a peppery finish, this is your “go to” oil. A blend of 3 varieties of olives; Moraiolo, Leccino, and Morella, here is a premium extra virgin olive oil you can depend on, and moderately priced, we feel.

Hey, who knows better than Phil? Try a bottle today. 1 liter 33.8 oz

La Tourangelle Grapeseed Oil- NEW!

Grapeseed Oil you say! Grapes have oil, no way!

Yes, WAY…well, the seeds do, and if you’re a fan of The FoodNetwork and Big Daddy, one of their newest stars, then you may have watched him utilize grapeseed oil in much of his meal preparation. We were curious about its properties, and did some research.

The nectars of red and white grapes have seduced humans for centuries, but it is their tiny seeds, when pressed, that yield a green-colored oil with some pretty amazing properties. How about… a light nutty flavor blending well with a multitude of other flavors, a high smoking point, 485 degrees to be exact, making burnt oil a thing of the past, a great substitute for butter or canola oil, high levels of polyunsaturated fat, and one of the richest natural sources of linoleic acid helping fight heart disease and bad cholesterol. Need we say more?

Oh, grapeseed oil is also used in skin products, aromatherapy, and cosmetics. TOO MUCH INFORMATION? Right, unless you nosh on Maybelline.

Give this one a try. It’s French, it’s packaged nicely, and it’s affordable. 16.9 oz

Traditional Italian Dipping Oil
Huile d'olive Le blanc Pure Olive Oil

Since 1878, Jean Leblanc oils have been cold pressed in France using a stone mill. This is a somewhat heartier oil. Try finishing a pasta dish with a few splashes. We love the stone bottle. It helps keep the oil fresh, and makes your urban pantry rock. Tap the seal lightly with a knife, then use a small corkscrew to release the inner cork. 8 oz

Euro Kitchens- Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

We are continually seeking new products to add to The City Pantry lineup. Our goal has been and remains to bring you only "the best of the best" to fill your urban pantry. In addition, we actually TASTE TEST every product we sell. We feel that our palettes represent the norm, and we are comfortable recommending our products to you, our "Urban Gourmet".

This organic olive oil is wonderful, which is not always the case. Originating in Spain, it's flavor is light, a little fruity, and can stand alone. A chunk of french bread dipped in the oil is our benchmark. If the flavor isn't there, then it won't be anywhere in any dish.

Do try this oil; it's organic, it's from Spain, and you won't be disappointed. 8.45 oz

Arbequine Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Arbequine olive oil is entirely produced by hand. The Arbeca olives are handpicked from the trees, then placed in smaller crates to avoid damage to the fruit. Crushing in the mill must occur within 24 hours of harvest to ensure that no fermentation has started, reducing acidity levels as low as 0.2.

This, our first olive oil from Spain, has surprised us. Remember, we taste test every product we sell. No one could describe the flavor, other than fabulous. This deep golden-green oil is full bodied with a pronounced fruity flavor. But there's more; apples or almonds perhaps.

We suggest using this oil in dressings or vinaigrettes, or perhaps brushed on vegetables, fish, or meat before grilling. Before all else however, dip a chunk of crusty bread "solo" into this lovely product. Let us know your thoughts. 17 oz

NEW!- Vinaigrette Budget Bundle

A "VINAIGRETTE" by any other name would not taste as tart, or something like that... So just what IS a "vinaigrette", what good is it, and am I sure I'm spelling it correctly?

A vinaigrette is a sauce made typically of olive oil and vinegar, then combined with a variety of herbs, seasonings, honey and/or mustard. Its uses are legion, but it is typically used to dress salads, cold meats, or fish. The wonderful thing is that it tends to be a lite dressing, and we can all use a little something "lite" in our lives.

We've bundled our "BEST" together, and are even sharing Wolfgang Puck's "Perfect Vinaigrette" recipe.

Oh, and yes, I did spell it correctly!

Here's what you get:

  • 1- 33 oz Frantoia Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1- 8 oz Fallot Aged White Wine Vinegar
  • 1- 8.8 oz Miel de Lavande Pure Lavender Honey
  • 1- 9 oz Fallot Moutarde en Grains Dijon Mustard


  • Wolfgang Puck's Perfect Vinaigrette



    1 part prepared mustard
    1 part honey
    1 part vinegar
    4 parts olive oil
    Gray salt & freshly ground pepper to taste


    Whisk together mustard, honey, and vinegar. Slowly drizzle in the oil. Season to taste.
