They also do really nice catering plates--I got one of the mini cheese and chucutterie plates and brought it to a party-everyone absolutely loved it. The plate was put together so nicely with little flags on the cheese so you knew which one it was and the meats were very tasty. They pretty much have any type of cheese you could imagine, and it is hard to walk out of the store without buying something. This is the type of place you feel SO good shopping at and supporting a local shop. Things there are pricey-but you are paying for excellent quality and service. I always look forward to going back to try yet another cheese that I have yet to have--I love how the cheese also rotates based on the time of year and what is available. They also have various cheese tasting events either at the shop or at another local establishment. I went to one of their events at the local brewery-I believe it was a beer and cheese tasting which was a ton of fun. I really want to go to another one of their events.

We dined in for lunch and tried a couple sandwiches too, and I'm so glad we did. The turkey practically melted in your mouth, and it's no wonder their grilled cheese was recognized by The New York Times! I will definitely be recommending this spot to others!

I don't think I can adequately explain how heartbreaking this is, other than admitting I have been slicing off chunks of goat cheese each day and eating it straight up. If that doesn't sound enticing to you, I beseech you to try this cheese, and dare you to disagree once you do.

The sourdough bread was slightly tart and soft. Come hungry! If you aren't a fan of savory cheese, there is also ice cream at the shop.

It was so good, I had to high five the chef when I went back to get it again, lol it was so delicious, it had Russian dressing, jalapeños, peppers, and arugula on their focaccia bread! Insanity. I went to get a sandwich today, they have different sandwiches from time to time. I got their eggplant sandwich, which is so good! Perfect for a vegetarian, I'm not, but I really enjoyed it. I also got their pork shoulder sandwich. I think it is, amazing as well! It's really a big portion in my opinion, which is perfect because if I don't finish it in the first sitting, I'll finish it later lol it's always something to look forward to. The service is so great, everyone is so nice and sweet. Love the chef, his sandwich combinations are awesome. I love the vibes in there. It's very calm, good music and very cozy and intimate. They have a parking lot, it's tiny, but you can park in the next lot right behind it. Obviously I will be back lol

The Crushed Olive is a small chain of gourmet olive oil and vinegar shops that opened in Hickory,…read moreNorth Carolina in 2010. It was founded by husband and wife Bob and Mona Rossero. Bob had owned the Colony Lounge in Huntington Station, New York for 30 years. He and his wife Mona (a former medical transcriber) then retired to North Carolina. On a trip to Northern California, the two discovered a shop that sold infused olive oils and vinegars. They decided to bring the concept to North Carolina and opened their first location there in 2010. A year later, they opened a flagship store in Huntington, New York and more locations would open throughout Long Island in the following years. In 2013, the Rosseros sold off their original Hickory location in order to concentrate on their Long Island locations. Each location offers more than two dozen varieties of flavor-infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Today the small chain has five locations in Huntington, Babylon, Sayville, Stony Brook, and Commack. My wife and I visited the Crushed Olive's Port Jefferson location (now closed) in October 2018. We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary on Long Island with a private limousine tour of the North Fork Wine Trail. We discovered the Crushed Olive while exploring all of the quaint shops in Port Jefferson. All of the various oils and vinegars are stored in gleaming stainless steel containers with taps called "fustis". Customers are encouraged to sample the oils and vinegars with cubes of fresh Italian bread from a local baker. Some of our favorite olive oils we sampled included the Blood Orange, Eureka Lemon, Olive Wood Smoked, and Tuscan Herb. Some of the balsamic vinegars we enjoyed included the Black Cherry, Dark Chocolate, Fig, and Pomegranate. We purchased some small bottles to take home. We have since ordered other bottles online and had them shipped to our house, including their 18 Year Traditional Balsamic Vinegar that is aged in oak barrels in Modena, Italy for 18 years. We will continue to order more delicious oils and vinegars from the Crushed Olive for years to come!

The two staff members walked me through their store like a breeze. I asked for their top recommendation each, and they came through beautifully. One was a triple crème and the other was a balsamic cheese. Both delicious. After a sample I got a small portion of each to take home. They sell all the bits to make a board if you wanted, I picked up some gluten free crackers as well. I was very happy with my experience and will return for a board or more cheeses for parties going forward
