ORO Di Oliva

Wow! Every type of olive oil and spices you could imagine and more! Many balsamic vinegars too, I wish I would have had a sour dough bread to test them with! A great way to add flavors to your dishes. Inside the Milwaukee Public Market. Attentive staff ready to answer questions and provide taste tester sticks. Prices are on the high end. Parking right behind the market, parking attendant to collect fees when exiting.

ORO Di Oliva is a nice store inside the Public Market. They sell a huge variety of olive oils from Spain, Italy and Greece as well as flavored balsamic vinegars; apricot, honey ginger and lemon to name a few. They let you taste test the products so you can gauge what you like. The service is excellent and the lady helping us was very friendly and helpful. The store is small but don't let that fool you. As you go around the the back there's so many more choices! They also sell accessories like bottles, bottle pourers and other items. Fun to taste and learn about all the different possibilities you can have in your pantry!

Yes, it's more expensive. It's also a GREAT local specialty store. Have fun mixing and matching different oils and balsamics. Get great gifts. Ask for the recipes. Ask for vacuum seal if you're traveling by air. Talk to the people working there. They're always helpful. And while I can find cheaper oils, I've never felt shortchanged here with the quality they provide. This review is short... because that' enuff said!

I found a few great vinaigrettes here! The staff are helpful with making recommendations, and giving recipes. They had me sample a few things and based on my feedback, recommended other things to try and not to try. It was nice to not have to sample to whole store!My dislike is that the bottles are not suited for drizzling or pouring easily. You'll have to switch bottles or buy a topper. I think that's a little unfair given the prices of the goods.

Support local! And this place is a lot of fun! Trying all the oils and balsamics, it's like testing out a bunch of perfumes, but better cause you can taste! I tried a bunch on my visit here. And I was overdue since I have never stopped in during my many, many visits to the public market. I just don't usually notice it, it's kind of in the corner. But, this last time I went for a class upstairs on balsamic (and oil) and they gave us a coupon to use, so, it made sense to stop down after the cooking class. It was really fun trying all of the flavors: harissa, herbed, all kinds of fruits of balsamic, etc. There are little disposable cups so you can taste to your hearts content! I went home with two olive oils: butter (mmm, yes butter) and tuscan herb, which I liked more than the other herb as this one I could taste garlic and the other one was heavier on the thyme. Also took home a lovely lemon balsamic. It's something that would even work in a drink or cocktail, really nice and refreshing! Not sure what I'm going to do with it, but it was too good not to buy.

Highly recommend! On a day trip to Milwaukee from Chicago we came across Oro Di Olivia. I initially bought a bottle of the Raspberry Balsamic along with a small set that included Garlic Olive oil and Sicilian Lemon Balsamic. I immediately became obsessed with these for for salads so decided to place an order to have more flavors shipped to my home. I was amazed when I placed the order yesterday late afternoon to have been surprised when it delivered to my home less than 24 hours later. What caught my attention even more was the level of detail put into the packaging of the products to ensure they shipped safely. Every product we have tried so far has been amazing, staff is friendly and overall great customer service. Will be ordering again soon.

Will only buy ORO oil it's the best. Enjoy different flavors and the original. Customer service is outstanding.

This place was pretty awesome. At first I thought it was just olive oil so you can imagine my surprise as I found out that it was vinegar too. I thoroughly enjoyed walking around and trying a lot different vinegars. I was imagining what type of salad each would taste good on. I would say hands down my favorite is the strawberry followed closely by the 18 year. The olive oils thought were gross, I didn't find a single one I liked. I don't remember the name but the second to the left tasted like it was rancid. Unlock another reviewer we didn't get harassed by employees, in fact they didn't even speak to us. One lady was on her phone and the other was chatting with a guy at the register. (we were in there a good 15 mins or so). I liked that because I don't like feeling pressured. If I'm ever in the area I would definitely stop by again!

This store changed the way I cook - literally a culinary mind-blowing experience when I tasted (then cooked) with their oils and balsamic. Deep robust flavors for citrus based oils and vinegars, earthy nuttiness in their nut and seed oils and magic in their other blends. Get the stamp card and look for Groupons so you can buy more. It's addictive! Because of their products I cook healthier. Sometimes vegetables need "zhuzzing up" - and their stuff is great on roasted, steamed and grilled veggies. A drizzle of their lemon oil over fish is amazing. I no longer buy bottled marinades or salad dressings - this is all you need! I wish they'd open one up in Kenosha because I'd love to work part time there - seriously love their product that much. All they need to snow is a decorative rack to store their bottles because I have so many!

Five stars after one visit? It happens. The mythical unicorn does, in fact, exist, Yelp MKE.This place? Why, it's the *biz-nasty, my friends.*For those of you offended/annoyed by my loose and somewhat "disrespectful" use of the English language, I'll re-tool my last statement:Oro Di Oliva is a unique and delightful little oil and vinegar shop located in the Milwaukee Public Market.They actually boast three locations - all locally-owned - and specialize in olive oils and vinegars ranging from your standard fresh-pressed olive oil to blood orange, tuscan herb, basil, and oh-so many more. (See photos I've uploaded to Yelp's business listing for a better idea of the set-up, but trust me... they've got you covered.)Being a not-so-secret "sour"-loving vinegar freak I'm almost more excited by the vast array of vinegar options available here. (I know my palate, y'all, and I know what kind of acid I like. It's not the tripping kind, either. That stuff scares me.) A lovely aged 16-year old Balsamic? Of course. But I'm willing to bet you didn't think about varietals such as cranberry pear, lavender, lemongrass mint, or raspberry, now did you? (You may have thought of raspberry, and as well you should as raspberry vinaigrette is pretty popular; but here it's pure and devine and makes for a lovely dressing when paired with a basic, fresh olive oil).The cherry on top? The staff is not only terribly knowledgable about their products, but they're excited to have you taste and try for yourself. I left ODO with a bit of a stomachache because I was hungry and olive oil/vinegar pairings do not constitute "food." Ask me how much I cared though, because, well... wow. Interesting pairings, interesting conversation, and the more you know means the more you gift thoughtfully and buy quality ingredients locally.Five whole stars for Oro Di Olivia, a boutique-y little shop that satiates Milwaukee's need for hand-crafted artisan oils and vinegars!
