Olive Oil and Parking in Mount Dora, Florida

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Stake Your Land Realty, Inc. BK3166989

My Preferred Title Company is located in Mount Dora, Florida. So about every four months, I like to visit the Mount Dora Olive Oil Company after or before a closing. "The closings do happen more often"😊

I am including the link because you can purchase online. 

The Mount Dora Olive Oil Company

They have a huge selection of Olive Oils and Vinegars and one can sample all of them. They have four sizes.  60ml, 200ml, 375ml and 750ml. I of course, purchase the 750ml. Not just one:)

One of the main reasons, I buy at least six bottles, is because finding a parking space, it is not easy. Now, the great news is, that Mount Dora has published designated public parking. I will now know where it is legal to park or not.

The Olive Oil Company is located on N. Donnelly Street, between 4th avenue and 3rd Avenue. You must still get there early in the morning, because the public parking spaces do get fill out quickly. The best recommended time is 10:Am.

So focus on the good benefits of buying authentic olive oils and vinegars and not the complexity of finding a good parking space.

You can order online, but the selection is huge, one must try them all. I hope if you ever are in the area, you can visit and buy you some.

Parking is rarely a problem in Minot ND Katina Hargrove 352-551-0308 however when it is it is usually in the downtown area where my office is.

Almost any downtown area here in our counties, it is hard to find parking. It is best to go very early in the morning and during the week.

Katina, My husband & I grew up in Central Fl. We moved from Oviedo in 1997 where his mom also lived. Mount Dora was nothing like it is today. 

The last time we were there which was several years ago we did go to DT Mount Dora to check it out. What an adorable place.

As for olive oil, I love flavored ones as well. My favorite Olive Oil store just closed. I stocked up on Basil Olive Oil which I use for pasta salad, green salads, and avocado toast and Calamansi Vinegar which I also put on salads, salmon, and about anything it works with. 

I'll be searching for those specific flavors when I run low.

Yes, Mount Dora has surely changed a lot. I love to make my own homemade salad dressings with the best olive oils and vinegars. Add a little here and there and Oolala!

Hi Katina- I remember sampling olive oils when I was in Wegmans many years ago.  How nice that you have the Mount Dora Olive Oil Company near you.

I hope you have one near you, every time I visit the MT Dora Company, I have to see what else new they have.

Once you taste the real thing, you won't go back to synthetic. I believe  they do ship. You should try the sampler. Katina

I can see why you would want to stock up and not deal with the parking, or lack thereof, haha.

Thanks Katina, I love olive oil.  I was drenched with it in my formative years.  Mt. Dora is a nice place, but I had no idea olive oil could be had out of this wet climate.  I will have to give it a try.  

btw: of late, the talking heads claim that this is worth consuming every day in amounts I find rather over the top!
Thanks

Everything in moderation is good. They have an Oil company at the Sanford Mall and a store in Lake Mary, not owned by the same company.

I found out that the best prices and selection is at the Mount Dora Olive Company. So if you travel there, bring at least $250, you will not be disappointed. A great selection to sample:) Katina

Hi Katina Hargrove 352-551-0308 Does Veronica Food Company make the oil for Mount Dora Olive Oil? I see there is a store in Austin called Con' Olio Oils and Vinegars that is near my office but is their oil the same that is at Mount Dora Olive Oil?

My understanding is that companies can create their own private labels and start their own store. Find out from Con'Oils who the shippers or supplier is. One of my favorites is the blood orange olive oil, currently it is not in season. The supplier could possibly be the same, they use the dark bottles. I did visit the site Con'Olio Oils, The Blood Orange is also out of stock.

Know your product, see link below:)
