It has a variety of pickled options. Everything from pickles to olives to veggies. Different types of salsas and different flavors of oils. Liquor is available as well. The building is beautiful and they offer tastings as well. Staff was very friendly and available to answer any questions. Kind of pricey but not too bad . It's definitely worth going in and looking around.

Sample tasting was awesome! Excellent service that comes with great recipes and recommendations.read more

You buy the bottle and can come back to refill. Very reasonably priced & love that they do a refill system - environmentally friendly. The staff were patient, approachable, and helpful especially for someone who isn't super knowledgeable about olive oil. They also carried some Union Loafer bread items, which I've been wanting to try for awhile. I bought a hoagie roll at the staff suggestion & my sister bought some bagels. I've been wanting to try this bread for awhile. My sister also bought some specialty chocolate covered cherries. Give this local gem a try. I will definitely be back!

The oils and Vinegars are in barrels lined up on the shelves, with labels that show pricing and a brief description. You are able to taste all that they have to offer, just reach out to staff for assistance. I saw quite a few different olive oils i wanted to purchase, but opted to go with the garlic infused olive oil. I did sample it, and it was absolutely delicious. You can definitely taste the garlic. It was almost as if i was eating a fresh baked slice of garlic bread. I'm looking forward to going back and purchasing the chili Olive oil, and the pomegranate Vinegar. The gentleman working at the time stated Vom Fass has been around since 2006. Beautiful clean layout. Plenty of parking outside and friendly staff! They offer tastings in store so be sure to check them out. Also, they are an Eco conscious store, so all their products are in reusable glass containers. Bring in your clean glasses to refill.

As I learn my new hometown, those needs are being fulfilled by new discoveries. I have always enjoyed buying my olive oils and balsamics from small speciality shops. Especially, little mom and pop stores. Their personalized customer service always seems to go a step beyond. I find that to be true here at the, Olive Oil Marketplace. Moving in a pandemic and cooking more at home while restaurants are shut down for eat-in, my inventory of olive oil was getting depleted fast. While I was shopping for furniture across the street, I noticed OOM as I returned to my car. Needing to stock up on olive oil, I popped inside and was pleasantly surprised. Their offerings were as extensive as some of my favorite boutiques in STL, so I felt at ease. The sales associate working that day was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She asked about my preferences and different things that I liked. She also offered me little samplings to assist me in making my decisions. I was immediately sold on the, Jalapeño Olive Oil. Her letting me sample and sharing her opinion on, Tunisian EVOO sold me. It was so smooth and it was organic, too. In addition to the two bottles of olive oil, I purchased some Italian Herb Balsamic. No kitchen is complete without a bottle of it. While I was checking out, they signed me up for their rewards program. Which is a good thing, because I know I am going to be a regular. Good inventory and customer service is going to keep me coming back. To my surprise, you get a small free bottle on your birthday and since mine was just a day or two away, they honored it. I selected, Hickory Smoked Balsamic. Yum-Yum! When: November 14, 2020 Why: Needed Olive Oil

Now I am overwhelmed by the deliciousness of that hot sauce that I have to put it on everything. This hot sauce is so delicious, it makes everything taste great. I have never had a hot sauce like this in my life. My only complaint is it only comes in a little bottle, because I always need more. This hot sauce is designed for my taste buds, it makes food an experience and everything is better to my taste buds. The sweetness, spicy, hot, salty and fire, it's all there. Nothing overwhelms the other flavors; they all work in perfect harmony to to bring pleasure to the pallet. Everything I put this hot sauce on was enhanced to another level of a great taste explosion in my mouth. Even chips tasted better with this on it...Makes a boring salad come alive and create a party in my mouth. This hot sauce is almost like making love, you taste the sweetness, then a slight salty tease and then the slow release of a pleasurable hot fire hits your mouth and as soon as it peaks you start wanting the next drop on your tongue and lips. It makes your mouth water with ecstasy, your mouth becomes numb with pleasure and then you want more. Who would have known combining two peppers together would make such harmonies pleasure with everything they come in contact with. I recommend this hot sauce over all the others. It has everything I ever wanted, it is sophistication.

I picked up a hunk of the carrot cake they had there for my mom and dad as a treat and they almost fought over the last bite!

There is street parking and a private lot behind the building. There are 2 entrances, one is directly into the cafe and the other is into the market. There is very limited seating inside. Most seating is outside on their flower-laden patio. Service was friendly, warm and helpful. I felt like a valued customer. Unfortunately the drink I wanted to try was the tahini date steamer but it wasn't available today as they were out of dates. I chose the herbal hibiscus elixir iced. It tastes like you are drinking a flower because you are, and it's full of antioxidants. The market has a lot of "foodie" finds like wine, special sauces, specialty cheese, smoked fish and house-made Mediterranean spreads. I'm interested in trying the canned cocktails. They are 24% ABV and cost $7. I will be back!
