Olivin is a Boise gem offering excellent olive oil and olives, along with a good selection of oils and balsamic vinegars. Customers describe the products as fabulous and yummy, noting that nothing from the grocery store compares. Favorites include the Tuscan Herb, Cilantro Roasted Onion, and white huckleberry balsamic vinegar, which take salads and cooking to the next level. The shop has a great smell and is attached to a quaint kitchen store. The staff is described as absolutely delightful, pleasant, and great at making recommendations. Customer service is good. A popular feature is the option to bring old empty bottles back for refills, which is a cheaper version than buying a new sealed bottle. However, some feedback notes the refill process can be a bit of a hassle, requiring bottles to be completely clean and dry to avoid mess, and the store's reward system only grants points for purchases of new sealed bottles, not refills. Despite this, many customers plan on keeping coming back to this cute shop, which they discovered randomly and now consider themselves addicted to for its high-quality offerings.
So many choices! Cute little shop. Great customer service.

I’m addicted to their oils and vinegars. Nothing from the grocery store compares. Takes my salads and cooking to the next level. My family is always raving about the tastes. Love that I can bring my bottles back for refills. The staff is great at making recommendations.

Was randomly walking by and think I discovered a gem with this store. Pleasant folks behind the counter. Great smells in the store. Picked up a set as a gift for a family member who promises to let me sample. Looking forward to it.
