Olive Grove\u2019s secret to multi-generational retailing<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

RICH history and a love for local produce are the pillars of family-owned and longstanding delicatessen, the Olive Grove.<\/p>\n

A third-generation descendant of Greek migrants, Pete Marios said his family business had originally begun as a fruit shop and deli situated further down on Ballarat\u2019s main strip.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been on Sturt Street for 50 years with three generations and it was the early 90s when we built this spot from scratch,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a big family affair and then Ange and I came back after having kids when my father passed and bought the business about three years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven our oldest daughter has started doing some work for us and a lot of the staff have been here for a long time, it\u2019s a bit like family, same with the customers who come in here.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a wide and eclectic variety of deli goods, dry stock and ready-made meals, Mr Marios said they are always trialling new things while supporting local businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have as much local stuff as we can, but we also outsource a lot of stuff because we want to be really specific,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to get a lot of different people\u2019s products in like Yendon tomatoes, Meredith Dairy, Warrnambool cheeses, Daylesford stock, Red Rock Grampians stuff, it\u2019s nice to be able to support them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a trial and error thing, we\u2019re always trying new things\u2026 it\u2019s seasonal, like during winter we\u2019ll go for fresh pasta and that slows down so we have to keep evolving and changing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Described by the owners simply as a delicatessen first with a caf\u00e9 on the side, Olive Grove has established itself as a space for residents to source both staple and rare ingredients.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can tell people are reading the recipes in the newspaper because people will come in all at once to get something really specific like preserved lemons or paella rice,\u201d Mr Marios said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to do what we do and do it really well and try to keep progressing things.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe provide someone with the ingredients and a catalyst to try something a little different in the kitchen, hopefully someone here would be able to help you find the ingredients and talk you through how to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
