Top Shelf Extra

The food item you are referring to is often called "top-shelf" or "top-quality" extra virgin olive oil. This type of olive oil is made from the first pressing of olives and is considered to be of the highest quality. It has a robust flavor and is typically more expensive than other types of olive oil. It is often used as a finishing oil, added to dishes just before serving to enhance their flavor. It can be found in restaurants throughout the USA, particularly in those that specialize in Mediterranean or Italian cuisine.
