We value the opinions of our employees – when they say you should tryy something, we believe it! So when we asked our buyers and coordinators what their top unique picks were at Oliver’s, we paid close attention to their answers, and now we’re passing on that key information to you. Some of these items are unique because they’re funky, niche products that you couldn’t find anywhere else, but some are unique because their quality sets them apart from the crowd.

What kind of unique items will YOU fall in love with?

Oliver’s Choice 100% Angus Hanger Steaks

Todd Davis – Meat & Seafood Coordinator ($9.99/lb.)

“Popular in Europe, hanger steak is often seen on a French bistro menu listed as onglet; you may also hear it referred to as ‘skirt’ in the UK, lombatello in Italy, and solomillo de pulmón in Spain. In the U.S. it might be labeled as “hanging tenderloin” or “hanging tender” due to its location on the steer.”

Oliver’s Own Cookies

Marghi Sulas – Bakery Coordinator ($4.99/ea, Selected Varieties)

“Oliver’s Own Cookies Are one of my favorite items in the Oliver’s Bakery. They are unique to our stores, made from scratch with high quality ingredients and freshly baked daily. With eight flavors to choose from, we have a cookie for every taste bud.”

Cabra Al Gofio

Emily O’Connor – Gourmet Cheese Coordinator ($15.99/lb)

“Take a culinary tour just off the coast of Morocco on the sunny island of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. Cheese makers turn the fresh milk of the Majorero goats into this lovely little round of semi-firm cheese. Following traditional methods the wheels are coated with “Gofio” a toasted cornmeal flour that penetrates the paste and mingles with the sweetness of the goat’s milk. The delicious result is a toasty sweet cheese with a smooth creamy texture accented by the slight crunch of the finely ground corn flour.”

Oliver’s Own Salsas

James Schwedhelm – Deli Coordinator ($2.99/8oz Tubs, $4.99/16oz Tubs, Selected Varieties)

“Oliver’s Own Salsa. Our selection of house made salsas are an item that truly sets us apart from the competition. They’re unique recipes to Oliver’s and also represent what we strive for as a company. These recipes were developed by a couple of employees that helped launch our taqueria years ago. They have now been with our company over 20 years. It’s this type of team involvement that makes Oliver’s so unique. You don’t have to be a Deli Manager or Executive Chef to have your voice heard and your ideas implemented. We’re an all-inclusive team at all levels. That’s what really makes up Real Food, Real People.”
