Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar Tasting

May 31, 2010

An olive oil and balsamic vinegar store opened recently and we figured we had to go check it out. We go through a lot of olive oil and balsamic vinegar is the base for my favorite salad dressing. The Olive Grove focuses on unique and flavored oils that you can try in the store and bottle for home use.

 

Some of  their flavored Olive Oils are:

Garlic

Lemon

Persian Lime

Harissa

Tuscan Herb

Blood Orange

Basil

Chipotle

 

Besides flavored oils they have traditional olive oils from France, Italy, Greece and Spain. The balsamic options they carry are the star of the show with traditional 18 and 12 year along with fruity flavors like:

 

Pomegranate

Strawberry

Wild Blueberry

Red Apple

White

Black Cherry

Raspberry

Black Currant

 

Each oil/vinegar sits in a large stainless steel vat with a pouring spout and tiny cups to sip or dip bread in to enjoy the flavor. We tried quite a few and decided our favorites were the Tuscan Herb and Blood Orange olive oil along with the Wild Blueberry Balsamic that was so incredibly sweet.

The prices are really reasonable for the quality of the oil/vinegar and I love the custom bottles and pourers. We bought 3 bottles worth and I know we will be visiting again soon!
