The Chefs' Olive Mix 131 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95814

"I sent some olive oil and balsamic for Christmas gifts. Everyone loved them. Our favorite is the Chef's Special Reserve Dark Balsamic. It's thick and we use it on our roasted veggies. Delicious!"

"I was so excited by the tasting that I forgot to snap photos! Absolutely love the selection of infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars here! They had everything I could think of and more from fruity flavors to more savory ones as well as unique pairings I never imagined together but sound like they would be amazing (like blackberry ginger). The staff were so friendly and informative. We were provided with small bread cubes to compliment what we were tasting. They also had some popcorn samples. We learned of many new ways to enjoy olive oil and white balsamic vinegar that I personally hadn’t thought of before and am now excited to try. If you’re in the area and enjoying the local Sacramento scene, highly recommend stopping by and trying something new here! I walked out with a couple sample sizes for home!"

"Every so often, I travel from Nevada County to Old Sacramento for a fun experience at The Chef's Olive Mix. If you ask, she will give you a sheet with pairing ideas to try. My favorite feature is that you can try as many pairings as you'd like on your own. She locks the spouts and won't let anyone touch the olive oil and vinegar canisters. But she does have olive oil and vinegar sample bottles underneath. This setup makes it easy to shop. I also recommend the truffle infused salt on popcorn with butter flavored olive oil. It is excellent. To me, it is worth driving over an hour down to Old Town Sacramento just for the wonderful experience you get at this awesome place. Usually, I splurge and can never leave this shop without spending at least 100 bucks."

"What a great place to buy balsamic and olive oil. Never seen such a variety. You can sample before you buy. These oils are so good you will buy. The customer service is amazing."

"I had some time to kill while visiting Sacramento and decided to check out Old Town. Many of the stores and restaurants were pretty touristy. However I really liked this shop that sells fine balsalmic vinegars and EVOOs (extra virgin olive oils). I've seen stores like this before but this one was particularly well designed with premiums products that you can sample before buying. What really sets this one apart from others was the friendly, helpful staff. The young lady that was working there that day greeted me at that door, asked if she could tell me about the store and happily answered my questions. I cook often and have some very fine, imported vinegars and EVOOs from all over the world. Their selections were delicious and a great value for what it is. I won't stop buying the really expensive, Italian aged Balsamic Vinegar for the rare gourmet gatherings that I attend, but I will be using their product much more often. I will go back and buy more, especially for Christmas gifts for my foodie friends."
