Oil & Vinegar Frederick

I recently went to a Valentine tasting event. What a great place. I learned all about the different oils and vinegars and how you can be creative in using these in your cooking. The store has many different products and the women there will explain everything. They are so knowledgeable and friendly. Will be going back again. You must try it!

Great staff. Really friendly. Reasonable pricing for the custom options. Fun way to try different taste to dip delicious breads, create dressings and marinades.

First timers. Came here to pick gift cards for friends, ended up trying some oils and vinegars. Everyone was very helpful, didn’t get the employs name but she has blonde hair, bubbly personality. She was awesome and very helpful, being it was our first time there.
We will definitely be back again! We love this store!

Wow! What a great shop with so many good things to choose from. The novello oils are out of this world. I am working on the last of my oil from Uruguay; the aroma and taste of the oil is so fresh. It reminds me of the oil I had in Tuscany a few years ago. I got a large container of the bonsecco olive oil and use it in my everyday cooking. I spent a lot of time in the store trying everything. The staff is energetic about the products they offer. I had a really fun time with them. They gave me several pairings of flavored oil with flavored vinegars. I never knew something could be so delicious. The lemon oil with the mango vinegar is fantastic together. Lots of spices too! I really like the Mediterranean spices; very different. Most stores only offer Italian style spices, but here it will take you all around the world. Very cool store. It really gets my mind going to how I can use the oils and spices in my normal, everyday cooking. I could go on forever, the pesto, the olives, the tapenade, …so good. If you are in the neighborhood, I recommend you stopping by. It’s a real treat. Just make sure you a lot enough time to take it all in.

Frederick isn’t new to lovely oil and vinegar options, so when an additional store opened up I figured I should see what they had to offer.
I have to admit I was disappointed with the extremely high price point for oils and vinegars that didn’t really seem up to par for what was advertised.
The taste was lacking and the knowledge of the store clerks wasn’t what I would have expected.
I’m going to stick with the original oil and vinegar emporium that started it all!!!

Oil and Vinegar is new to Frederick. We happened upon this posh specialty store and was pleasantly surprised. The owner and her sister were working and we very attentive to introducing us to their products. They created a few samples of oil and vinegar and we loved every one. Our favorite (we purchased 2) was the mango vinegar and lemon oil mixed together. TRULY AN EXPLOSIVE COMBINATION. I can’t wait to try one at home on a spinach salad. This is a great place to purchase gifts and a variety of specialty seasonings and rubs. I just hope that the rest of Frederick appreciates the delightfulness of this store so that it can stick around for years to come.

Had such a great visit to Oil & Vinegar Frederick — it’s a beautiful store! The owner and her sister were working that day — they were incredibly welcoming and helpful! They were happy to share their knowledge and offered tastings of not only the oil and vinegar but the amazing international food items in the store. I left with oils and vinegars that I would never have thought I would like (mango, lavender and pomegranate), in addition to pumpkin seed oil from Austria and Basil Crème and Artichoke/​Garlic crème.
Yes, you buy the bottles, but you bring them back for refill — I prefer this to adding to the heap of recycling I put on the curb every week.
Looking forward to my next visit!

Even though they’re new to Frederick, I’ve known about these guys for years. In the past, I’ve placed online orders from the Charlottesville store, so of course I was thrilled to not have to pay for shipping anymore. Everything I’ve tasted or bought has been good; they have lots of samples out for you to try. Compared to their competition on Market Street, they have a lot more items other than just oil and vinegar. Mustards, chutneys, rubs, dip bases, etc. However, unlike their competition, if you get oil or vinegar they charge you for the bottle! In both cases, you can bring the bottle back for refilling, but still… even when I ordered online, I didn’t have to pay for the bottle. Here you feel welcome to sample as much as you like (their competition barely puts out any bread and watches over you the whole time). Where I will buy from will probably depend on what I’m out to buy that day.

Great addition to the DMV area!!! Carries a variety of European oils and vinegars, a great place to get gifts for people or a place to add more flavor to your pallet and excite your taste buds. This shop is a must go to!
