The quality and scope of options here was phenomenal and staff were very friendly and accommodating. We walked in for olive oil and walked out with an armload of different balsamic vinegars! So many incredible flavors! Wish I got the guys name that helped us

I visited in October and had a few bottles shipped to me. They are amazing and out of this world and now I am ordering them for Christmas gifts for all my bosses. Love this place recommended to anyone

I hadn't been in that shop for a couple of years, but decided to buy a Christmas gift there. Their selection is fantastic and I was able to fill up a gift basket in no time. They did the packing and the shipping for me since it was going out of state, the package reached its destination when I was told it would. I didn't give it a five star rating, because the service was the absolute worst. There was one young man behind the counter when we entered, and he made no move to welcome us or ask if he could help us. We were completely ignored and his back was turned to us while we wandered around. I finally had to ask for his help in filling up a bottle of balsamic vinegar. He had zero personality. I'm sure he was hired as Christmas help but shouldn't have been left there alone.

We bought some olive oils with the spouts. The garlic was my favorite nice selection to choose from. The service was excellent. Offering us lots of samples with tasty bread. Very nice ambiance. We will be going back when in the area.

I live across the country and I have placed multiple orders and am extremely happy with everything! Delicious products, excellent communication and quick shipping. I also just sent my step mom a gift package in a different state and they wrapped and labeled it so nicely.

Such a fun experience! Definitely must stop by when in Monterey! They have a large variety of olive oils and balsamic vinegars for you to self-sample super fun flavors! The staff are very nice and will offer bread. Small detail but I like how they offer at least 5-6 pieces at once so you don't have to go back and ask for more (tho you could if theres more flavors you want to try). I love how there's an option to get a petite, small, medium or large size. I tried the lychee and peach and thankfully, it tastes like it should. Sweet and yummy! Perfect for a salad dressing. I ended up getting the two petite sizes for fun!

I agreed with earlier reviewers. I've been in similar olive oil shops. Try a few or many. The names/combinations are fun. I usually buy several small bottles. New to me: balsamic vinegars Black Cherry and Cinnamon Pear. I'll try on ice cream and add to heighten the flavor of a pear pie and baked cherry-oatmeal. Persian Lime olive oil is a favorite.

Large open area when you step inside. There are balsamic vinegars on one side of the room and more towards the center where the registers are there are several different types/flavors of olive oil. I tried butter, wood smoked, garlic, and lemon. Those who work there will give you a cup with small pieces of bread which can be used to try many different flavors. We did end up buying a small bottle of the garlic olive oil.

Best experience I’ve had ! Everything that we tasted was ABSOLUTELY amazing, they give you as much bread as needed to try all the amazing oils and balsamic’s. Left with 6 in total and I have no regrets. Perfect location and the staff was just awesome ! A must do while you are here, trust me you will not regret it.

WOW - the vinegar at this place is to die for! With such a range of different flavors of olive oils and vinegars, you'll definitely find something you love! They also offer bread to sample all the different olive oils and vinegars. I love vinegars, so I legit fell in love with all the different fruit vinegars. My favorite was the lychee! I ended up getting a set of 4 sampler sizes for $26 - which is still fully customizable and it saved me a couple dollars. The owner is super friendly and personable - asked about our trip and when he found out it was for my birthday getaway, he told me to choose out a bath bomb on the house!

This place is a gem of a store with 45+ different flavors of Balsamic Vinegars! I felt like a kid in a candy store. If you have a whole-foods, plant-based aka WFPB way of eating, this is the place to be! Absolutely loved sampling almost all of them. The staff were cordial, friendly and welcoming. A bit pricy than the usual store bought ones. I ended up with quite a few of these back home. ☺️❤️

This is the place to be! We had so much fun spending time sampling the different oils & vinegars (they give you bread to sample). The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed trying some of their 'happy accidents' and the flavor combinations that shouldn't work but certainly do. They ship all over the country but also sell bottles in so many different sizes they are easy to check in luggage. We bought a bunch of flavors as gifts and they were a hit. 10/10 would recommend!
