The Olive Mill

Ethan was so helpful and knowledgable as a friend of mine and I brought tons of fun stuff. We bought amazing flavorful oils and balsamic a with tons of infusions. Great place to check out and buy wonderful gifts or items for your kitchen. Thank you Ethan for being patient, knowledgable, and very attentive !

Very cute little store with the perfect amount of small town charm! The lemon oil is my favorite.. For cooking just about anything! The man who was working stayed late on Mother’s day to accommodate all of the last minute shoppers, including myself and my Mom, which we greatly appreciated! By popular demand I picked up a coconut lime chapstick at the register that I can’t put down & we also got free locally grown garlic … who gets free ANYTHING today?
Although my original # Unilocal coupon was added incorrectly at checkout, I called the next day and had an immidiate adjustment to my credit card. Will definitely be a returning customer in the near future!

I am a big fan of this place. The only reason I can’t give it a 5 star is simply the price of the oils. I had heard about it many times from friends and we always joked about «How can you just sell olive oil?». However, I understand all the hype, now. I happened to bid on and win a bottle at a fundraiser (broke my little plate that came with it by dropping it on my wood floors, boo) and I tried it with bread at first. That was so good, I started using it on my lunch salads and I liked it even more than the homemade dressing I’d been using for years. It was the Dipping Oil. I went in yesterday, for the first time, and purchased the Tuscany oil (smells amazing) as well as another bottle of the dipping oil. The staff there also told me how they make the dipping oil, so I bought a little packet of spices ($ 0.75) and am going to see if I can make something myself at home with my favorite oils and vinegars. Great shop and if you haven’t tried it, yet, with some fresh bread… you have to.

The Olive Mill has many (and I mean many) different kinds of olive oils and balsamics to taste and purchase. They are all pretty great. They also have crackers, other spreads, olives, and other food items to purchase. I think it’s pretty unique — I’ve seen places like it, but this one was very nice. You can buy them prepackaged or fill your own bottle. They also have water (thank goodness) for free so you can wash out your mouth in between. They also have free recipes you can take! Very cool.

Nice idea and place. I am sure I would rate it much higher if they provided bits of bread to try the olive oils. Sipping olive oil by itself gets a bit nasty quickly.

A coworker and I attended a training seminar in Geneva and decided to get a bite to eat and peruse the nearby stores to get to know the town. When she wanted to go inside an olive oil store, I thought, «Whaaaat?» Um, not something I’m really into. At first, I wasn’t really that interested, but as my friend started exclaiming how delicious the various flavors of olive oils and balsamics were, I couldn’t take it any more –I had to see what all the fuss was about! The store almost has the warm, woodsy look of an upscale coffee house. There are all of these «vats» lined up, each containing a different flavor oil or vinegar. There are little cups and you can go around a take a little sip to sample the various flavors. The flavors are really unique (and yes, delicious). The purpose is to use them for cooking –that the flavor will infuse into your food. Or, in my case, I’ve been eating a lot of salads lately and am so turned off by processed salad dressings! To me, it’s just unnatural and not healthy. After tasting the White Peach balsamic, I thought, «Why don’t I just put THIS on my salad?» So, the girl (me) who initially wasn’t that interested in an «olive oil store» bought a bottle! Unique, fantastic concept and I LOVE the healthy angle to it.
Glad I stopped in with my friend to give something new a try! Also, this would make a unique gift for someone who enjoys cooking or trying new «foods».

Fun little store, it is really nice that you can take your time and taste everything that they have. Staff was friendly and helpful. Like the others said, it might be a bit pricy but if you go for the tasting experience and not just to buy oil then you might hardly notice.

Great little local store. Friendly service, knowledgeable staff! The oils and vinegars are great. I have tried the jalapeño oil and it is terrific with some good bread and even tho it is more expensive the cooking olive oils I have used it with Mexican food and it makes a difference. I have bought oils as gifts and everyone loves them and the recipes. Today I bought the white peach vinegar — yum!

I love little local stores like this. I stopped in the other weekend and was impressed with the offerings and the owners. I picked up a nice peach flavored balsamic vinegar and a good olive oil. I have used the vinegar so far in abotu 4 recipes and it is perfect — the right blend of citrus and acidic. If you like to cook and are interested in picking up some different types of oils — this is the place.

This place is almost identical to Old Town Oil in Chicago. I walked in and it felt like déjà vu!!! They have huge canisters of different flavored olive oil. You are welcome to taste as many olive oil flavors as you’d like. They even had fresh strawberries in balsamic vinaigrette for customers to taste. You can either buy the olive oil prepackaged in bottles or you can take an empty bottle and fill it up yourself (you can mix and match whatever you want into your bottle). Prices are a bit pricey here though. But the staff is extremely nice! We didnt purchase anything but they thanked us anyway for stopping by to look!

This is a store that specializes in olive oils and balsamic vinegars. They have about 20+ different flavored olive oils and around 10 balsamics. The place is a little pricey at around $ 20 for a 12.7 oz bottle (they also sell larger bottles not sure on the exact amount), but it is worth it. What’s really great about this place is that you can SAMPLE just about everything they have. They also have other olive oil themed gifts like bottle holders and that sort of stuff, but it’s a little over priced.
If you want a nice olive oil for bread, or a special dinner then this is a great place to check out.
