Baker & Olive

The friendly folks at B&O happily share their knowledge of their fine olive oils and vinegars, as well as cheeses, special breads, fancy spices and some excellent wines. Bonus! Chef Marie holds a cooking demo on Wednesdays that puts a spin on the use of olive oils and vinegars that make for special meals! I couldn’t recommend this place more highly....

This is the place for your balsamic vinegar and olive oil. They also make bread here but I've never been a fan of the bread. I think it's too dry and has little taste. The olive oils are amazing and balsamic' that are aged. Truly aged and syrupy. You can taste any of them before buying. I always always have a liter of the standard Mediterranean blend olive oil and classic balsamic although I also have the peach balsamic vinegar for when I want to change up my vinegarettes for my salad. Sean the proprietor is a nice guy. You may find him a tad snooty but he is generally a nice an helpful guy.

While the products, Oil and Vinegar, are delicious, organic and vegan, I wish the packaging would reflect more environmental consciousness. The shipping I received was a box of 4 small bottles snug fit in foam, which could be done with cardboard, plus the perfectly fine shipping box was then placed in a larger box and filled with styrofoam pieces which are not bio-degradable or recyclable. While the first box could be packaged differently and is ship-able, the second box is completely superfluous along with the styrofoam pieces. Please consider this feeback going forward for shipping choices. Thanks in advance.
