I ordered some hand blended seasoning from Olive & Basket recently and I was so impressed with how quickly it was sent out - as well as the helpful updates about its shipping status. When the seasoning arrived - I had a question about the product. I called their contact number and right away a friendly voice answered. The customer service representative was so kind and helpful on the phone. She said that she would check in with the manager ASAP in regards to my inquiry and follow back up promptly. A couple of minutes later - the same personable customer representative called me back and revealed that her manager had called the manufacturers of the product and she was able to answer my question with confidence. I was blown away by the incredible customer support at Olive & Basket. The staff went out of their way to make sure that my questions and concerns were heard and addressed and they did so with such genuine care. Fantastic customer service goes far and I wouldn't hesitate to order from Olive & Basket again. Trust. read more

Great variety of olive oils and a really fun tasting experience. Prices are slightly high, but worth it for the quality and unique flavors. The host was extremely helpful! read more

We enjoyed our visit here. The helpful employee (owner's sister) facilitated tastings of spices, oils and vinegars without being at all pushy. Best were the shaker jars of the spice blends, enabling a whiff of what the taste may be like, for free. The mango vinegar is pretty special and might be worth the visit, alone. read more

Excellent store. The ability to taste all products made this an enjoyable shopping experience with my two sons. We tasted most of the "hotter" products they have and bought many. The friendly hospitality shown by the store owner and staff was outstanding. If you like varied Olive Oil and/or Vinegars, this is a must stop shop. read more

I first heard of this place probably back in 2010 or so while wine tasting in baltimore at one of the festivals. After that, i made it a point to find them whenever i attended the one at rash field. Nowadays, i just make the journey out to frederick to their store when i am in the area for other things. It is a neat little shop in the westview shopping center off of 85. read more

One of my favorite foods is cherry tomato, feta, and cucumber salad with oil and vinegar. The bacon infused olive oil and fig vinegar made this go from good to phenomenal. The quality is unreal. I will be starting a small collection at my house. I've been making the most delicious salad dressings as well. I love this business. read more

Received the mango vinegar and Meyer lemon olive oil as a present. What a wonderful gift! They are both so tasty! I have been using them when marinading fish and on the grill for chicken. They bring out these different levels of flavor. I am told that during covid Olive & Basket deliver to DC. So re-ordering -- which I need to do soon -- will be easy! And based on these two products will have no problem expanding my order to some new products too! read more

This place is wonderful! Family owned and operated. Everyone is so helpful, kind, personable, creative and knowledgeable. I've been able to be creative with oils and vinegars because of their assistance. I purchased a dark chocolate vinegar for my berries and orange oil to substitute for oil in my brownies. I adore this place and enjoy shopping in store, online or at the farmers markets. read more

The best olive store ever! They have many different flavors of oils and vinegars. The store owner is very knowledgeable and personable, she can offer a lot of recipe ideas for each of the items that she sells. I only wish I didn't have to drive so far over an hour. Yes they do offer mail order, but once you go to the store and experience the great customer service, you want to go back again and again.! read more

The Best Customer Service and such Amazing Quality products. I had the pleasure of being assisted by Pandora today. Pandora's enthusiasm, knowledge and love for the job is admirable. I learned so much about the various olive oil, vinaigrette, spices and jams. I left wanting to buy everything in the store. Pandora shared the most amazing vinaigrette and oil pairing that left me so excited to share with my family. I appreciated the time and patience with my 21 questions about everything. You made a forever customer out of me. I can't wait to try everything I bought today. I will be back for sure. Thank you so much Pandora! read more

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! read more

This is a wonderful store and has hands down the best customer service you will ever experience. Having never stepped foot inside of a store like this, my fiance and I were greeted in a very friendly manner, and were immediately asked what we might be seeking. After informing them that we were looking for party favors for our wedding, the friendly staff helped walk us through the world of oils and vinegars ( there are so many that it can be overwhelming without a guide). After coming to a decision and choosing the favors we wanted, the service at this store just continued to grow, they offered to wrap the favors together for our guests and even tied them all together with a wonderful bow. To top it all off, they offered recipe cards that could be added to the gifts, so that our guests could make amazing foods out of it. Words cannot express how amazing, helpful and friendly everyone was that we interacted with. We will be eternally grateful for their help in making our wedding day one for our guests and us, to remember! read more

Love to patronize little specialty shops like this. Enjoyed sampling and ended up buying way more than I anticipated but it does make great gifts (if I'm able to part with it!). A bit put off by having to purchase the bottles. They do allow customers to bring them back for refills but it was a surprise to me on the first visit. They also sell spices, condiments, crackers, sauces, preserves, and neat kitchen-ware. Sales people are friendly but not intrusive. Will definitely be returning! read more

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

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! read more

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. read more

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 Creme and Artichoke/Garlic creme. 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! read more

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!!! read more

My husband and I love this store. We have been in quite a few times and I have fallen in love with using the tomato pulp vinegar and a touch of the garlic olive oil on my salads. They also have some delicious jellies/jams that are great for serving guest with cream cheese and crackers. Plus you earn bonus points with every purchase. Everyone who works there has been extremely friendly and welcoming. I'm actually headed back there tomorrow! LB read more

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! read more

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. read more

This was my first visit. I was looking for a gift for a foodie. Got to taste test a bunch of yummy tapenade's. They helped me find exactly what I was looking for and then added a beautiful box at no additional charge. The wonderful service was very much appreciated. Will be back. read more

I have to admit that I never really appreciated olive oil until I visited the Oil & Vinegar Store in Frederick. Stepping in was the beginning of a wonderful adventure into the world of fine taste and wonderful hospitality! They offer tasting samples of various vinegars and oils that the friendly staff will suggest and mix to provide the utmost in flavor sensations. If you think you know olive oil and/or vinegar, take a trip that will show you that you never really have known them at all. You'll come away with your own supply, knowing that you'll be able to obtain Mediterranean delight anytime you want without having to board a plane! read more

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. read more
