Many different olive oils, balsamics, and a wide variety of seasonings. Tasting them was fun to decide new flavors that we like.

Wonderful selection of olive oils and balsamic vinegars! I bought an oregano oil perfect for my Greek salads. The staff was very helpful to help me make the right selection. It is abit on the pricier side but it is worth the purchase.
