You can’t have the Oil without the Vinegar!

September 10, 2012 · by Carrie Trax · Leave a Comment

We arrived mid afternoon to the town of Leavenworth the “Alpine Bavarian Village” of Washington state.  Our room at the Enzian Inn was not ready yet and with only one block to walk to town we decided to see what we could find. We passed many cute shops and tasting rooms of local wineries and then came to the shop I wanted to see.  The Oil & Vinegar Cellar located at 633 Front Street where they say “Where the Virgin Compliments the Aged”.  You need to go down a pair of stairs that leads you to the cellar of oil and vinegar heaven.  The brick walls and silver fustino’s dripping out the sweet aged flavors of pure delight made me want to start dipping and tasting.  I started down the balsamic vinegars, all aged 18 years, tasting flavors like fig, apricot, cinnamon peach, blackberry and the last one in the row white balsamic vinegar that was so sweet I had to have it.  I moved on to their featured combo of the day cranberry walnut balsamic vinegar and Florida Orange olive oil, what a burst of flavor in your mouth.  Finally I started tasting the olive oils with flavors like garlic mushroom, basil, jalapeno, key lime and roasted chili to name a few.  But the one that caught my eye was butter olive oil.  The label suggests that this was a healthy choice for over popcorn, drizzled on mashed or baked potatoes or tossed with sauteed shrimp and garlic over pasta.  In all they had 12 different types of balsamic vinegars and 15 types of olive oils.  This is a place I would recommend you stop in at if you find yourself in Leavenworth.  Better yet you can order on line or join their club and get a surprise every three months in the mail.
