Carter & Cavero Old World Olive Oil Company

This place is great. Yes a bit pricy but some of the vinegars and olive oils are simply fantastic. My fave is the fig balsamic vinegar. They let you sample everything first.

I love this place. It’s the only store around where you can find good olive oil from all over the world as well as amazing balsamic vinegar. They also let you taste everything yourself as they have these large tanks of each oil and vinegar with little bowls of bread nearby. You also do all this yourself so that you don’t need to feel embarrassed by bothering the clerk to do it for you a million times. They probably have around 10 olive oils and 15 flavored vinegars at any given time. The vinegars come in flavors like chocolate and blood orange and red apple and all sorts of stuff while they have olive oil from places like Portugal (my favorite), Spain, Italy, Greece, Argentina, Turkey and many other places. They have pairing suggestions for each one and also offer a truffle olive oil which by the way is amazing on lobster if you mix it with your dipping butter and a little salt and pepper. They also make custom gift baskets with whatever you choose. Definitely visit this place its a great experience.
