We want our customers to share the concept of incorporating, a more flavorful and healthy cuisine, into their way of life.

In a charming shop in downtown West Chester, we encourage our customers to sample all of our Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars before actually making a purchase. The walls of our shop are lined with large, stainless steel drums known as a fusti which supply the unique flavors of oils and vinegars.

Our customers are encouraged to savor each and every flavor until they find their own favorite. All of our oil and vinegar bottles are then filled, corked and sealed in the shop, to ensure guaranteed freshness.

Olive Oil History
The olive tree is among the oldest known cultivated trees in the world. As early as 3000 BC, civilizations including Minoans, Greeks, Phoenicians, Egyptians and Romans began to cultivate olives.

Homer called olive oil "liquid gold." In ancient Greece, athletes rubbed it over their bodies before competitions. Olive oil lit the lamps of both Jewish and Christian cultures, and was the only oil used in many religious ceremonies. The olive trees on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem are reported to be over 2000 years old. Olive oil was a religious, medical and nutritious symbol used to anoint kings, athletes and newborn babies, and as a hygiene and beauty product, infused with flowers and with grasses to produce both medicine and cosmetics.

Olive Oil has been more than mere food to the people of the Mediterranean; it has been medicinal, magical and an endless source of fascination and wonder.
