Oleaceae

My god, what a find! A friend and I stumbled upon this store while on a two hour visit to Santa Fe on our way to Albuquerque. We loved it so much that we spent a significant amount of time in here sampling all of their balsamic vinegars. You'll feel like a kid in a candy store with all of the classy stainless steel dispensers available for you to sample at your leisure. It was so difficult to decide but I walked out of there a happy woman with a bottle of their 18 yr aged tradition balsamic vinegar (top seller) and a bottle of their, wait for it... Georgia Peach Balsamic Vinegar.. my god. As you would imagine, that vinegar is light colored, rich and sweet (just how I like my men). This place is a DEFINITE stop if you are a balsamic vinegar, olive oil and/or salt connoisseur. Prices are reasonable ($20/per bottle), considering the amount and the quality. I like to think of this place as a little slice of Europe in the middle of Santa Fe. Also, I came across this video tonight while trying to figure out if Oleaceae already had a presense on Yelp. It's informative and gives you an idea of the classy stainless steel dispensers I mention in my review: http://vimeo.com/19817153

This place had my absolute favorite balsamic vinegar ever! I would order it and pay shipping to Houston every time I ran out. Tried to stop by the store today while I was in town and have been told that they are closed permanently.

I absolutely LOVE the products sold, at this store. My partner & I bought the best balsamic vinegar here, while visiting Santa Fe. We ran out & ordered online, since we live in Texas. We greatly anticipated our order...only to have it never arrive. When we emailed the store, the response we received was: "Unfortunately, when a package enters the FedEx system the shop is no longer responsible for it...You'll need to call Fedex to see if you can get more information...Best Regards,Patrick"FedEx has launched an investigation & we are waiting. We have also called our credit card company in order to stop payment. My advice is to buy when you're in town but, DO NOT order online...even though their website states "...we strive to ensure that your shipments arrive safely and in a timely manner."

What a treat!!!! We happened to stop in on our way through old town and stayed for an hour!!! The owners were very welcoming and introduced my mother, sister and me to a selection of taste tests we would have never thought about trying. We purchased several flavors and they packaged everything and shipped for us. It was a fun stop!!

If you like delicious flavored vinegars and oils I recommend this place. We visit Santa Fe a couple times a year from Silver City and always stop in. My wife and I like the ancho Chile vinegar and the roasted butternut oil. Great for salad dressings and roasted vegetables. It's a little pricey but a great treat for the home cook.

This place is pretty awesome! I wasn't even aware that such a variety of flavors existed when it comes to olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The flavors were very fresh and the product was high quality. The gentleman working there was helpful and showed me how they strategically placed the vats of olive oil between the balsamic vinegar so that they were conveniently located next to complimentary pairings. He also explained how they fused the flavors together as opposed to infusing the flavors which results in a much higher quality product. They have little paper cups that you can pour your own samples into. It was certainly a new experience for me to be drinking olive oil and balsamic, just straight up. I walked in being curious and walked out with 4 bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and couldn't leave without a jar of the truffle salt either. Check it out!

Amazing! I could spend hours here, filling bottles with Fig Balsamic and Chocolate Balsamic and Coffee Balsamic and Boysenberry Balsamic and Pumpkin Oil and Butternut Squash Olive Oil....Heaven.And Customer Service? THIS place knows where it's at.They have a website, which is convenient for us out-of-towners. And they DON'T charge an arm and a leg for shipping. (Cough, Cough, like that joke of another local Balsamic store in the neighborhood.)I'm SO a fan. You've won me over. Thank you for saving me from the hell of that "Other" hole. I'm yours!

What a wonderful shop!I went to Señor Murphy to grab a box of chocolates as a thank you to my neighbor for cat sitting and saw Oleaceae and decided to stop in.The shop has an extensive selection of balsamic vinegars, olive oils and sea salts. They also have some really unique oils such as Roasted Pumpkin Seed Oil, Butternut Squash Seed Oil and Kabocha Squash Seed Oil... I purchased all three. I also purchsed a couple of bottles of olive oil and vinegars.To top it off, the staff was wonderful! They were knowledgeable and friendly, making it far too easy to linger and shop. If you like specialty shops, make sure to visit this shop! You can also order on their website.

Fun little culinary dream of a shop. There was more olive oils and vinegars than you could ever imagine to try and if you attempted to taste them all, you may just get sick. The variety was unreal. We finally settled on the Santa Fe blend which was chile inspired. It was very well balanced and thought it would be wonderful along side balsamico and some yummy crusty bread. At $28 each I would use this only for dipping. But bigger walleted folks might use them for cooking. Would return for the fun and definitely the place to get oils and vinegars. And if anyone wanted to get me a gift, I'd say this would be he place to go.

Phenomenally rude non-customer-service response to a problem they created.We received a Christmas gift from a friend -- 1 bottle olive oil and 1 bottle vinegar -- from this shop.Turns out the "olive oil" bottle contained vinegar. Completely mis-labeled.E-mailed shop. First words of response? "Of course we did not label incorrectly on purpose . . . "After 2 or 3 exchanges of e-mail, their bottom line was, yes, it contains vinegar and . . . "We hope you enjoy it."No offer to make it right. (We now have 2 bottles of vinegar but as it happens, no matching olive oil).Rude e-mails. Not willing to even attempt to fix problem.Suggest NOT doing business online with this shop . . . don't know what you will get.
