The Olive Tap "Perfect Pairings"
At The Olive Tap, we like to have fun pairing our fresh 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Flavored Oils with our spectacular aged Balsamic Vinegars and Specialty Vinegars. As you might have experienced in the store or even your experimentation at home, the perfect marrying of an Oil and Vinegar can make the flavors just explode!
