    Very nice store in St. Augustine which offers some really nice infused olive oils and vinegars…read more Best part is you can sample all the oils and vinegars before making a purchase. The staff is very helpful and will walk you through any questions you might have and even make recommendations. The store itself is very clean and organized. The signs on the tins of olive oils and vinegars have a pretty good description and even recommendations of how they can be used. This time I tried the fig balsamic and it was absolutely amazing. Took a bottle home for myself! Pairs great with caprese salads. Very good option for gifting to a foodie friend.

    Visited this shop and it was our first stop while visiting St. Augustine today. Sampled and tasted…read moreseveral infused high quality imported oils, plus balsamic vinegars. Even tried their most popular: Sunshine & St. Augustine Rose which were both a white balsamic vinegar that were unique and fantastic. They have a nice variety of merchandise. Such things as: pastas & sauce, stuffed olives, bbq sauces, jams, spread & other novelty goods & specialty pantry items. (see pics & video) Staff was helpful in finding items to bring home with me & that could go in my carry on luggage (also offer shipping). We bought several things for ourselves and several things as gifts for others. We also learned they do special pairings and post recipes on occasion if you follow them on Instagram too! The owners are extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their business. As well as choosing the best quality products for their customers. They have 4 locations in Florida currently. That is un-brine-lievable! Note-This shop offers in-store refills for customers who bring back their bottles which allows for a sustainable solution for returning customers. They also won "Best of St. Augustine" for Best Specialty Shop and Best Gift Shop 4 years in a row. Keep drizzling happiness like olive oil and best of luck for the 2026 award.

    We were traveling along south bound 95 last weekend when we decided to stop for coffee. And…read moreagainst my better judgement, we went downtown St. Augustine to get it. It was a lot of traffic to get down there, but it was nice once we paid our parking and walked the tree-lined streets. After we grabbed our coffee, I saw the sign in the window for "Hot Stuff". What caught my eye was hot pickles. We wandered in and I was pleased to see mannnnnny hot items. From Chocolate, to olives to the pickles that were my objective. The fella working the store, the owner I think, was over at a tasting booth letting a guy try some of the hottest hot sauces he had. That was because there was an entire wall, to the ceiling, of hot sauces. He had a good eye, as he spotted me looking at thew pickles ingredients and asked"do you wanna try one, I have a jar open". I was happy to. They were good, but not what I was looking for. Then I saw a hot sauce that was Black Truffle infused. I HAD to try that. Fantastic. I bought 2. I'm glad we popped in, as this was a very friendly place, with many piping hot options.

    We asked the girl working there how much a small bottle of the datil pepper hot sauce was and she…read moresaid "good question." Then she threw out the number 14. Why would I want to buy from a place that doesn't know how much they charge?! We went to the visitor's center and found the same sauce for $9.99!

    This isn't a restaurant, it is an olive oil store. It's small and quaint. There are 2 locations…read more When I was there the cash register was down. The person working there completed my purchase via calling the other store! I was using a gift card. They left the balance on the gift card and I will be back. They have nice gift boxes with assorted olive oils or oil and vinegar. There are many flavors of oil. There are many flavors of balsamic and white balsamic. If you like fruit vinegar, they have many. The people who work here are friendly and helpful. You can make a custom gift box too. They have plenty of wrapping options, bags and boxes. I think they moved here from Granada Ave. No photos since all the little bottles look alike. You can taste as many oils and vinegars as you want in making your selections. They have a little gift section with BBQ sauces, hot sauce, and a few other, mostly local items. To get 5 starts, this place would have to add a sit down tasting area, fresh bread for dipping, and wine to order. This is a really cute little shop to visit.

    If you are a connoisseur of authentic olive oils, you should definitely visit this lovely local…read morebusiness. First of all, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the knowledgeable, friendly team that will be glad to answer any questions and give great recommendations regarding oils and vinegars. Yes, that's right! This store also has a variety of vinegars. There's a whole host of other unique and interesting items as well. Definitely, there's something for everyone. So even if you're not too interested in specialty oils and vinegars, you should just go and look around. You are able to sample the oils and vinegars as well. There's plenty of parking in the plaza. There's a loyalty program and they have the cutest bags for your purchases. Once you go, you'll likely return. At least consider this store when purchasing a gift for someone who is a foodie or a great cook. You won't be sorry.
