At The Olive Tap, you can sample oils and vinegars from large stainless steel urns called Fusti. You can taste and combine these oils and vinegars in a side by side comparison or in some of our perfect pairing creations. You'll be able to detect the subtle–and sometimes not so subtle–differences in the various extra virgin olive oils, flavored olive oils, vinegars, and balsamic vinegars. Once you

decide on your favorite products, we bottle it fresh, on the spot. Our Oils and Balsamics come from source countries including Chile, Italy, Spain, Greece, Uruguay and USA (California) and more! Our knowledgeable, trained tasting consultants are here to assist you in determining the best olive oils and/or vinegars based on your taste preference, food preferences and typical cooking styles. All of The Olive Tap's 100% extra virgin olive oils are “first cold pressed”. We also carry a full-line of balsamic vinegars from Modena, Italy and various specialty vinegars from around the world. Did you know beyond our Oils and Balsamics we carry Gourmet Specialty Foods? We consider The Olive Tap a Tasting Emporium because we also offer unique culinary sauces, exquisite condiments, marinades, numerous tapenades and more. To meet our ever-growing customer demand, we are continually in search of distinctive, exceptionally tasty, high quality products. When we decide on a new product we are sure it will have your culinary creations tasting great and your family and friends asking for more! We hope you'll come in and have a great experience with us at our Tasting Emporium
