A visit to Italy that never ended… led to the love affair with the Mediterranean Diet and lifestyle Vickie and Richard Bailey share so passionately today. When their daughter studied as a young teacher in Italy, she fell in love with an Italian olive farmer. Ten years later, the Baileys visit Shayna, husband Paolo and children in southern Italy while selecting the artisan oils from farms in Italy, France and Spain that end up in the bright silver fustis at the Mountain Brook Olive Co. The Mountain Brook Olive Co. is a sensory experience the moment you walk in the store. Signature hand-crafted spices, teas, and exquisite oils & balsamics are joined by small-batch gourmet mustard on tap. Foodie gifts? Si Bella! The Mountain Brook Olive Co. is an avid supporter of local makers, and features Mississippi’s Etta B Pottery as well as jams, sauces and local honey.
