This store is ripping you off and price gouging. This is a franchise. If you live in the Bay Area you can get the EXACT same 750 mil bottle of olive oil for $25 at Amphora Nueva in Berkeley and San Anselmo while this store is charging $42 for it. Amphora will ship as well and I think it would still be cheaper than buying from here. I was visiting Sacto and made the mistake of buying here without checking the price difference. I had no idea it would be such a HUGE difference. Buyer beware.

Been ordering from them for the last several years but my latest interaction with the store left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I had a few problems with my order starting with the two olive oils I received leaking from the packaging. The second was that one of the two was a size smaller than what I had ordered. When I called the store to explain the situation they weirdly insisted on wanting the damaged goods back. I was taken aback as usually when a constable good is damaged, sellers usually tell you to toss it. It makes me wonder if they’ll repurpose what I received…?Just this very unusual situation and very rigid response from their customer service makes me hesitant on ordering from them again.

If you are an affectionado of olive oil this is the place to be in old Sacramento. Aside from the town of Corning, CA. I have never found a large mix and types of olive oil. Great with bread and cooking. Every type of flavor imaginable. Jalapeno, espresso, berries, etc

I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your company. I recently wrote a review for your company and yesterday I received a thank you for doing that. That has never happened to me before and I have written many reviews. Perhaps people would be willing to take time to fill out surveys if more companies did that. I commend you.

I sent some olive oil and balsamic for Christmas gifts. Everyone loved them. Our favorite is the Chef's Special Reserve Dark Balsamic. It's thick and we use it on our roasted veggies. Delicious!

I was so excited by the tasting that I forgot to snap photos!Absolutely love the selection of infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars here! They had everything I could think of and more from fruity flavors to more savory ones as well as unique pairings I never imagined together but sound like they would be amazing (like blackberry ginger).The staff were so friendly and informative. We were provided with small bread cubes to compliment what we were tasting. They also had some popcorn samples. We learned of many new ways to enjoy olive oil and white balsamic vinegar that I personally hadn’t thought of before and am now excited to try.If you’re in the area and enjoying the local Sacramento scene, highly recommend stopping by and trying something new here! I walked out with a couple sample sizes for home!

Every so often, I travel from Nevada County to Old Sacramento for a fun experience at The Chef's Olive Mix. If you ask, she will give you a sheet with pairing ideas to try. My favorite feature is that you can try as many pairings as you'd like on your own. She locks the spouts and won't let anyone touch the olive oil and vinegar canisters. But she does have olive oil and vinegar sample bottles underneath. This setup makes it easy to shop. I also recommend the truffle infused salt on popcorn with butter flavored olive oil. It is excellent. To me, it is worth driving over an hour down to Old Town Sacramento just for the wonderful experience you get at this awesome place. Usually, I splurge and can never leave this shop without spending at least 100 bucks.

Really like the garlic olive oil here. You can sample as many as you like. $7.50 for sample size and for the next size up it's $18. Its 20% off their garlic olive oil this month.

I can't say enough about the Chef's Olive Mix. I actually consider this store a special outing. Their products are unique, the selection is vast, and their staff are both knowledgeable and extremely friendly. And the owner is delightful! I can't wait to run out of olive oil and vinegar so I can go back!

Wonderful variety of olive oils and vinegars in Old Sacramento. Everything is available for tasting .Great place to purchase gifts, however I feel the merchandise is overpriced. It's in a touristy area so maybe that makes it OK? Also, unlike many of the other merchants, they DO NOT validate parking.

So glad we stopped in here while waiting for our dining rsvp; Knowledgeable and friendly service! Great tastings of various infused olive oil and balsamic vinegars--so many great flavors! They have the oils and vinegars stored in beautiful old-fashioned tins. They also sell a small selections of deli meats and cheese and hand crafted dipping saucers and bowls.
