The Crushed Olive

Great place for oils or vinegars they have a large selections the chipotle and the garlic oils are my favorites. I can try all the oils and vinegars they have little pieces of bread in jars just fill a small cup with the oil and dip the bread in it. There are so many oil to try you will be in there a long time and get filled up. I highly recommend it if you want to experience different flavor oils

This is one of my FAVORITE places to visit, I travel all the way from Staten Island to enjoy the lovely experience they provide. All I need to say is sicilian lemon vinegar. I love the store so much I have contacted them for wedding favors! it makes a wonderful gift for housewarming parties also! Bring this as any hostess gift and they will love you for it! I cannot express enough how much I enjoy it!

This place has everything. They sell infused Olive Oil, vinegar, I went to a similar store in Philadelphia which was owns by Chef Garces (of Iron Chef). His store was part restaurant but they had a similar extensive olive oil and vinegar selection. I’m glad a place like this has opened on LI. I didn’t want to have to travel to Philly for some more truffle infused olive oil. The sheer amount of choices you have here can be daunting. Be prepared to spend money. The actual prices are very good but there is so much you are going to want to buy. I think their website has a list of what they sell. Consult before you step inside or you will be wandering around trying everything.

Great spot to learn about the world of olive oil, which is a lot more diverse than I ever imagined. I bought my mom one of the olive oil bottles as a gift. The best part is that you can take the bottle back and re-​fill it with a different oil after you have finished it. There must be 100 olive oils and other vinegrettes to choose from … and sample from too while you shop! They also have a huge variety of cheese in the back. All in all, a very unique family-​run business.

I still love this place. My two favorites are the 18 year aged balsamic and tuscan herb olive oil. I have been coming here for a couple years now. I even gave 200ml bottles of each as gifts this year, small and thoughtful. The staff is so nice and just love that you can walk around and try everything in order to find what you like. This place is the bee’s knee’s

One of my favorite places to explore! This shop is located in the heart of Huntington Village. Their philosophy is simple. They sell the very best olive oils and vinegars from around the world. However, the coolest aspect about shopping at The Crushed Olive is the tasting concept. All the products are on display with little cups and cubed bread next to them. You can sample everything! And the staff wants you to! They don’t follow you around, or watch how much you’re taking, or stand behind you ready to pounce when you go MMMMmmmmmm! They just let you be. And they know their stuff. They also have a pairing pamphlet that guides you into making better choices. (Wish I had that handy information before I used an orange infused oil in my pea soup)
Woohoo! As good as it gets!

Flavored Balsamic and Olive Oils galore… I mean how can you go wrong… they have bread and the ability to dip that bread in as many samples as you like. Sure, these are not inexpensive products but I have bought a couple times here as gifts and on occasion for myself. Ever thought you would try Blueberry infused olive oil? Well, head on down to this place in the heart of Huntington and have some fun trying things you never thought existed in the world of Olive oil.
Oh, one word of caution, have too many Balsamic samples and you just might leave with an irritated belly. But it’s worth it…

If you live in Huntington, then your lucky to have The Crushed Olive near by. Great selection of cheeses and extra virgin olive oils. They also have a nice variety of different crackers. The staff is extremely helpful in making different recommendations depending on what I’m in the mood for. I love this place, I only wish I lived a little closer to you. The original Crushed Olive is in Manhattan, So whether your in the city or Long Island, Enjoy

Two great shops in one.
1^st stop is the Crushed Olive. Lets get oiled up. A few dozen olive oils & blasamics displayed about in steel containers. Each labeled w/​the description of what’s inside. From fruit infused balsamics to crazy oily concoctions. You can dispense a sampling into a mini shot glass & taste each w/​a bite of bread. Like it? Its yours.
Head to the back to cut the cheese! 50 cheeses from around the globe w/​expert staff that can tell you about each one, what makes it good & what to serve it with. Sampliings can be done here as well.
It is a pretty great combination, plus Tons of other great gifts or serving additions ready for the next time you are entertaining & really want to impress.
No more kraft singles & Ritz for this guy!

Stopped in on a Thursday while shopping in Huntington Village thanks to my Unilocal friends’ shiny new reviews. The staff is awesome! As soon as you walk in they want to make certain you have an excellent tasting experience. If you haven’t been there before they will guide you through the taste testing and purchasing process. You can literally try EVERYTHING in the store! I think I tried about twenty olive oils and balsamic vinegars. They should totally sell baguettes on the way out the door! I decided upon the following vinegar selections: Espresso Balsamic vinegar. oh yeah! So great for a steak marinade with an espresso umami-​flavoring. Also chose the Raspberry Balsamic vinegar, great for a balsamic and olive oil dressing with a fruity twist. Most vinegars are $ 16.99 for 375 ml and $ 13.99 for 200 ml. A light touch goes a long way. I have a crush on you Crushed Olive.

As far as specialty/​gourmet food shops go, this is one of the best, and definitely the best around.
Unreal variety of creative and delicious vinegars and olive oils all of which you can sample gratis. There are too many to count or recall but a few of my favorites were the Fig Balsamic and Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegars. As far as Olive Oils, I loved the Organic Basil EVOO, and Tuscan Herb EVOO.
PS: Ideal Cheese Shop is in the back… that fact alone is worth a pop-​in!

I came here for a Unilocal Elite event and what a great place! Such friendly staff, very knowledgeable, and a really nice store overall. They have olive oils and vinegars I’ve never even imagined. The store is centered around tasting so you don’t have to ask to taste anything you can just jump right in and go for it! The staff was very engaged in making sure my friend and I had no questions or needed help. They also explained to us that we could taste whatever we wanted. It’s set up really nicely and easy to navigate. Everything is clean and organized really well. What delicious oils! I rather enjoyed almost every one that I tasted. I’m not big on balsamic but their balsamic vinegars and white balsamic vinegars were really interesting. They had some truly delicious and unique flavor combinations I’ve never heard of and something for every palate or type of dish. The coconut one really stood out to me and I liked the wild blueberry for a salad, the oregano one I thought was interesting as well.
I picked up a bottle of my favorite oil of the night, the Porcini Mushroom Olive Oil! It’s really delicious!
Overall I would definitely come back here and recommend this place. I look forward to stopping in here in the future and thank them for hosting a lovely event as well!

Thank you Unilocal!For introducing me to this magical place. We were welcomed with smiling faces and the entire staff wanted to teach us about the finest cheeses, oils, vinegars and so much more. I learned so much and tasted cheeses that totally wow’ed me. Must try the d Gouda followed by dark chocolate. The black cherry vinegar is going to be a perfect compliment to a salad. Try the champagne mustard and the peppadews stuffed with Gorgonzola… oh, how can I forget the creamy and tangy horse radish spread… wait, there’s more!!! The pesto cheese, mmm mmm good. Spent two hours here and only got a taste, can’t wait to go back. Allot for spending some time as there are so many flavors and tastes to try! Talk to the people that work here, they have so much knowledge.

This place is pretty gorge. Nice, clean, friendly staff. Now… I had 3 stars, but that’s probably not being very nice, so 4 stars for sure. The 3 probably came down more to a palate/​personal taste kind of thing. Unfortunately, I think that their balsamic vinegars are really not my thing. Many of them were cloyingly sweet and hit you over the head with flavour, instead of something a little more subtle. Literally, their coconut and mango balsamic (dark) taste like Pina Colada’s in my mouth. Like, I wanted to take a shot of vodka to cleanse my palate. Now, I know it’s because their Balsamics are 12 years old, so that could just not be my thing… but even the lemon or the lavender (that one was pretty good), were still VERY sweet. The white balsamics were a bit more manageable.
They DO have a large selection of olive oil and other assorted goodies though. They have a fantastic Chipotle hot mustard that I had to buy, so it wasn’t all bad. It’s quite redolent of the Balsamic/​Olive Oil shop at Chelsea markets so… YAY for one like that being closer to home! Kinda weird with a cheese shop in the back… wish they would do a joint pairing or deal or something, as some of their Balsamics may compliment some of the cheeses really well!

A fellow Unilocaler got me to come here. Shot over during work… which I would recommend parking is alittle tough.
To get the full awesomeness of this place prepare to spend some time making your decisions. There are self tasting stations there with little pieces of bread, but trust me you will quickly tally up a price you weren’t expecting. I had six bottles pick out and quickly went «what am I doing lol»
The staff was alittle unattentive, the girl at the counter kind of seemed upset that I asked her for help… maybe an off day I hope.
I walked out with 3 balsamics… but by far the 18 year aged… I could probably literally drink it from the bottle itself. Its phenomenal! I also picked up a bottle of the espresso balsamic great for marinating steak believe it or not.
Also a thing I really liked. they have recipes on their website using their products.

Whaaaat goes on in herrrr? I’ve seen this new shop on Main Street in Hton for a few months now and decided today was the day I would conquer it. Too bad it didn’t need any conquering. It’s so simple. Dozens of pots of oils and vinegars with bread and tasting cups near each one. You don’t need any prior knowledge of oils bc they have a fairly lengthy description on every pot. The woman at the counter was more than willing to help me out when I came to her and said «ummm, so, what do I do?»
Make sure you have some time to spend in here before you visit. All the oils are distinct and different from the next, leading you to taste most of em in a search for the perfect combo. I made it through about 6 different ones before I got impatient and picked up a small bottle of aged balsamic and an organic garlic evoo. Total price $ 18.
They have other specialty jarred eats for purchase along with a siiiick lil cheese shop in the back (Ideal Cheese has it’s own listing). Come here for a quirky gift or if you’re an oil-​phile. Warning: you might become an oil-​phile before you leave the biz. (is oil-​phile a word?)

I really liked this place although it didn’t live up to what I was hoping for. I’ve ben in some amazing oil/​cheese shops in Key West, Cali, and Holland and Switzerland, and I guess my expectations were a little high.
What is good is that it is self tasting with the plastic containers and bread. I felt like there was just a slight lack of originallity in some of the stuff, although there were some very tasty oils and balsamic, I bought 3, and still wanted 3 more. The 3 I bought though were just simple though.
What is nice is the cheese shop in the back. They had 1 of the cheeses in particular I was looking for, but unfortunately I had just ate at Medit Snack Bar before walking in, so I was not in the mood to taste all the others.
Worth checking out if you are in the town.

The Crushed Olive has an interesting array of oils and vessels to serve them with, but the real draw for me is the cheese section in the back. It has cheeses of different types and the counter help there is always willing to give you a sample of something they have.
I bought several different kinds on different occasions and my guests really enjoyed the fresh elements the cheeses I purchased. While not as eclectic in the range of works they have, it is one of the better sampling of cheeses outside of Whole Foods in Jericho or American Cheese in Sayville.

This play is simply genius. An array of infused olive oils and vinegars, any flavor you could possibly dream of. Blood orange olive oil, chipotle, roasted almond! And the vinegars; blueberry, coconut, cinnamon, DARK CHOCOLATE, ESPRESSO (my two FAVORITES) the selection is incredible. The best part is they offer bread to taste whatever you like! The workers don’t hover over you either and make you feel like you are tasting too many. They make themselves available and are attentive in case you need help but in no way over bearing which is hard to come by! I highly highly highly recommend this place. Perfect for your own use and great for gifts. I am definitely coming into this store before the holidays and stocking up and gifts and some treats for cooking. I love this place!

The Crushed Olive is genius. If you are a fan of balsamic vinegar and/​or olive oil, you absolutely have to come to The Crushed Olive. Sitting right on Main Street in Huntington the store is surprisingly large. A few dozen different infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars are on display in big metal canisters, all available to try and taste with free pieces of fresh bread. Prices are cheap and they bottle your choices on the spot for you.
I settled on the traditional 18-​year old balsamic vinegar and a honey-​ginger infused white balsamic vinegar. Lets just say I’ve been consuming more bread than usual since I bought these. With flavors like black and white truffle, almost every fruit imaginable, and an entire gourmet cheese shop in the back, The Crushed Olive is a hidden gem in Huntington.
