Zetouna

This is a great store for a special treat or gift. The owner is very sweet, knowledgeable about her products, & patient. She’ll help you put something together & ship anywhere. Not as big as the other flavor oil & vinegar but felt the quality was superior. Plus some more unique finds like balsamic pearls & tangines in various sizes. Worth a visit to taste & peek over. But available online too. Really enjoyed.

I visited with Owner Sonia Ayadi of the recently opened Zetouna on Elmwood Avenue. Zetouna is the Tunisian word for «olive» and the shop features a selection of Tunisian olive oils that Sonia (an importer in her own right) states «come directly from the producers».
There are approximately 8 – 9 olive oils available at the sampling station — all extra virgin, some cold pressed, some fused, some infused and with flavors typical for flavored oils.
Pros: The décor of the shop and the color scheme is bright and attractive. The space is small but well situated and appointed. The shop also offers gift boxes of their products at no additional cost.
Cons: The selection may be a little limited for the Buffalo market.
