A while back while wandering the waterfront near Pike's Market, I came
across the coolest olive oil tasting room. It was just like wine tasting but for olive oils and vinegars - and of course, tasting is absolutely free! Naturally, I had to go back to take
pictures and share it with you. The company is located in downtown Seattle and is called Quintessential Gourmet, and they make the most amazing infused olive oils and balsamic
vinegars.
The flavor variety is the best part – you can sample everything from
"grapefruit white balsamic vinegar" to "garlic olive oil." My favorites so far are
the strawberry balsamic and the blood orange olive oil. The olive oil is great
for a unique salad dressing, and the sales girl told me that the flavored
balsamic vinegars make a great marinade for meat. Every flavor they sell can be sampled
in-store, as pictured below.
My favorite vinegar: the strawberry balsamic
Garlic: another of my food loves!
