| - Finally made it into Olive This after they had been open for a month! These fine ladies opened up shop in Piper Glen Shopping Center and they are more than welcome to stay, in my opinion. A very simple shop with more infused, freshly crushed, and hybrid olive oils, white balsamics and regulars than I've ever seen in one place.
We waltzed in after a short walk from our homestead to check out their digs. Kara, owner, greeted us and allowed her associate to show us the ropes. She walked us through multiple varieties of olive oils and vinegars. She gave us a fantastic abridged education on tasting the products and then we were off to the races. Sampling left and right, watching our eyes light up from the magnificent flavors of the different varieties. It's a foodie haven/heaven. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help you find what YOU want to cook with. They ask what you typically prepare and help you find the best suited products(s).
We ended up buying a bottle of the lemon ginger white balsamic. It's incredibly aromatic, sweet, sour, and works wonders on a multitude of dishes! I'm not much of a salad guy, but it's amazing on some greenery.
If you love to cook, this is a great place to explore. You'll find yourself in a candy store-esque type of daze as you go through all of the options. Can't wait to visit again!
