The Olive Leaf

It all started with a blood orange oil brownie that was so amazing I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I had to figure out how to make some for myself. I was excited to find a shop locally that stocks blood orange infused olive oil. The Olive Leaf carries a wide variety of olive oils and infused olive oils. Better than that, however, was the selection of balsamic vinegar. You can taste everything for free before you buy. The olive oils, frankly, not that good to taste on their own. You can slightly taste the flavor of the oil but mostly it just seemed a little gross to me to be sipping oil. The balsamic vinegar was much better to taste. They have tons of flavors from sweet to spicy. The staff was helpful at providing suggestions of what pairs well. They also have recipe cards throughout the store to give you ideas. It’s located in the Shoppes at College Mall strip mall.
