This is a lovely shop offering far more than simple olive oil its name implies. Not only do they have an amazing variety of olive oils and specialty vinegars to add some zing and depth of flavor to your pandemic limited cooking, there are all sort of cooking, baking items and specialty treats. The proprietress of this shop helped me meet all my holidays shopping goals of giving people unique and useful gifts they could really use. There are even simple baking kits that kids can easily make for the family so no one is left out. Support local and give this shop a try- many of her products are local specialties. Mother's day is coming up....

I really enjoy this little gem of Durham. They have a great selection of European olive oil as well as a great variety of balsamic vinegar. These make great Christmas/birthday gifts! I love trying a new flavor every time, but the pomegranate white balsamic vinegar is to die for! I recommend mixing it with some olive oil as a simple but delicious salad dressing. Bonus: You can clean the glass bottle and bring it to get a nice discount for your new bottle, no bottles wasted & yay sustainability! That is not all. Soup mixes, specialty pasta, candy, local honey/jam... It is one of my favorite local places and my first go-to if I need a quick gift. I love that they are always nice and helpful, great customer service. Don’t forget to try their local honey, you won’t regret!!
So many delicious things packed in to this store. I went in for the peach balsamic vinegar after seeing it featured in a cocktail, but walked out with much more. The espresso balsamic vinegar is now my go to. I admit it, I scoffed at flavor infused olive oil. How much of a difference could that make? Yeah, I was wrong. The knowledgeable staff guided me through a couple of combinations and I was hooked. I’d say that the vinegar and olive oil would make a great gift, but the “gift” I purchase ended up being consumed at my house. Sorry not sorry.
We live in the Charlotte area but visit family in Durham regularly in normal times. COVID has eliminated those trips, and visits to Bull City Olive Oil. So Julie has been shipping to our home. Believe it or not, there is no good source of fresh, truly virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar in our area, so we've been buying from Julie for several years. The bottles are always extremely well packed and all of her products are top quality. We were so impressed with the shipping package that we saved it to send more \potent\ liquids to others on our Christmas list.
Excellent shop! I love the oils and vinegars and other special buys. The owner is a lovely woman and is very helpful and knowledgeable. I buy new offerings and old favorites. I gave gifts boxes and baskets as Christmas gifts and they have received rave reviews from recipients. I highly recommend this store to anyone.
