This place is amazing. All kinds of amazing flavored oil and balsamics and pastas. This place is a must if you're in Murphy's!!

I have been here three times. First, let me say that the oils and balsamic vinegars are so good. Really great. The combinations are amazing. You could combine flavors for days. Why one star? The service is awful. Terrible. The women that work there behave as if you're bothering them. That has been my experience all three times. My sister lives here, in this area. She spends her money in Murphy's. The ladies in this place (I have witnessed this with my own eyes) treat her like she is not worth waiting on. Trust me, this place can be overwhelming with all the combinations and you can forget what you thought you wanted to buy. It's at that point they lose all interest in you. I was there YESTERDAY waiting for my sister to make a purchase and the woman at the register had a long conversation with another customer while my sister waited and waited. Wouldn't anyone make a sale, THEN converse? Oh yes, there is another oil place in town and the staff there are normal, kind people. I would say to the women to try your hardest to not come off so snobby. Try your hardest to treat all your customers as if they were your ONLY customer. You have no idea who has the money and who doesn't and who will come back and who won't. read more

Amazing selection! Delicious combos of oil and vinegar! And fun! This is a new concept to me (maybe that it is common place elsewhere, but not that I have seen). It is a tasting room for oils and vinegar, just like a wine tasting, but yummier! The selection is seemingly endless! Amazing flavors like organic tuscan herb olive oil and their traditional 18yr aged balsamic vinegar is to die for! This is now my go to place for quick gifts, you don't have to be a "foodie" to enjoy the yumminess that is Marisolio. And if you are entertaining out of town folks a great break from just wine tasting. As mentioned by someone else on here, they can get kind of busy on weekends so be aware, you can taste all by yourself and always order online if you don't want to wait in line to pay. That said during the week when they are slower and you can get more personal attention it is really fun! read more

I love this wonderful tasting bar !!! They have many different flavored olive oils and vinegars. My favorite combination is Tuscan Herb Blend olive oil & Trad. Balsamic vinegar 18yrs. I live far from Murphys but i occasionally go there with my friend for the tasty olive oil & vinegar. read more

Third time we have been in this store while visiting in Murphys. The store is so clean, well laid out, and the oils and vinegar selections are delicious! They do a great job of wrapping them for flights home, and service is excellent. We will be back. Great staff. Our last visit was 12-4-18. read more

Was with my friend who was returning a bottle that didn't taste the way it did at tasting. After previously spending over $100 the manager said she felt it tasted fine and maybe she could just buy a balsamic to mask the flavor!!! I was so shocked that they didn't want a happy customer!! They then responded to her point that she really didn't like the taste and wasn't what she'd anticipated by saying she shouldn't have opened it!!! Wow...how do you find out the taste isn't good without opening it!! They must know something I don't. I know I would never want a disappointed customer, never mind one that will never return nor will their friends! Not ideal for a small local business??? read more

The ladies working here are so friendly and they are knowledgeable with the products and which balsamic vinegars and oils pair well together. I definitely I took the opportunity to try different oils and balsamic vinegars. The oil tastes so fresh and pure and light, that I can use it in dressings or even for regular cooking. read more

Stopped here while in town with some friends this last weekend. I'm not a huge oil person, but I love balsamic vinegars. I was very excited to see a huge wall with tons of flavors to try. Everything is try-able here and they also give bread to help with sampling. I didn't find one that I didn't like. I finally was able to decide on two flavors. The gravenstein apple balsamic and the raspberry balsamic. I am quite excited to finish these bottles so I can go get some more! I highly recommend if you're in town! read more

My husband and I walked in to Marisolio in August and we tried just about every oil and vinegar they had out to taste. We went home with two vinegars and two olive oils. The next weekend I took them to my daughter's house with a loaf of bread, some tomatoes and basil and some fresh Mozzerella cheese. Everybody went crazy for them. I bought Blood Orange Olive Oil, Tangerine Balsamic, Peach White Balsamic and Tuscan Herb Olive Oil. I have since order (online) two more Blood Orange Olive Oils and another White Peach, plus Raspberry and Pomegrante. The Blood Orange oil and White Peach Balsamic with a little raw honey and some seasoning make the perfect summer salad dressing. And last week I tossed some cubed Butternut squash in it and roasted then made a glaze of the White Peach, Honey (a dash of the Blood Orange Oil) and some seasoning with a little butter at the end. My husband can't stop talking about it! I am SO glad I can buy this stuff online! I need more Blood Orange and White Peach! I think I will give my best friend some for Christmas! read more

I heard about this shop from the Spice Tin in Murphy's. The staff at the shop were so helpful and very patient. I tasted so many different flavors of balsamic vinegar that I had never even heard of. They were wonderful, all of them. The tangerine was light and exploded in my mouth along with the Juniper blueberry. The olive oils were light and beautiful. I have to go back because I now know that I can no longer settle for they everyday olive oil and balsamic vinegars. I'm an adict now. read more

Always great, but this time they took extra time to show my grand kids around and explain the different flavors. Excellent customer service! I always drive over from the next county to get my oils here! I featured them in my vlog below they are about 3/4 of the way into the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_wrN5no0AI&lc=z12ks5ipnxrpfva3222fsdryxumau3w3o.1500042437188353 read more

The boss/manager was so rude to her co-workers. i loved the taste of the vinegar and olive oils (hints to the ones star) but i would make do with vinegar from the dollar store before i ever pay a cent towards her disrespectful act. read more

What an amazing experience! This little store on Main Street Murphys has more olive oils and vinegars than I ever expected. The flavors are so diverse. I had a great time trying and pairing everything from a garlic herb olive oil and an aged balsamic to a lime olive oil and a dark chocolate vinegar. The staff is informative and the atmosphere friendly. There were too many decisions!!! But I will definitely be back- the possibilities are endless! read more

So hard to choose which to bring home! Everything tastes great! We decide to buy lavender balsamic, herbs de Provence infused olive oil, peach balsamic, blood orange fused olive oil, chipotle & ghost pepper mustard, and gold strike mustard. read more

Don't come to Murphys without stopping at Marisolio! You can easily spend an hour here tasting all of the oils and vinegar. I'm lucky enough to live locally, but any time I stop in here... I leave with at least 2-4 new flavors. The Italian Herb Olive Oil is amazing to cook with EVERYTHING. It has become my new regular olive oil. The maple vinegar is delicious on fried sweet potatoes and the lemon white balsamic & white peach balsamic are delicious on any salad. read more

It took me a while to finally make it to Marisolio but now that I have I don't buy olive oil anywhere else ! I love the variety that they offer and that they have quite a few organic olive oils. It's great that you can sample different oils and vinegars before you purchase, although I don't think I'll ever get used to "drinking" straight olive oil! What I really love, though, is that I can bring my empty bottles back for refill and get a discount for doing so. Also, they give you a stamp card to keep track of your purchases and you will eventually earn a free bottle of your choice. The service is incredibly friendly, though it can be a bit slow when they are busy...that just gives you more time to browse and sample new things. read more

Delicious oils and vinegars. Grab some bread and taste from the tens of tasters. The Fig balsamic vinegar goes particularly well with garlic olive oil. Whats probably best about this place is that it's a perfect way to follow-up wine tasting at La Folia - a wine tasting bar that shares the same space. read more

Tasty olive oils and balsamic vinegars, we always would re-stock when we were in the area. We brought in one of their bottles to re-use and it apparently was not clean enough. I asked if they had a sink where I could wash it out better. The woman said no and rolled her eyes at us. She said was very rude and even said, "We have signs all over I don't know why people don't read them." It is a good place if you don't mind horrible customer service where the staff cannot explain something simple in a friendly manner. We won't be making that stop anymore! read more

This is a great place to try different olive oils and balsamic vinegar's. The only problem is there are so many to choose from. Highly recommended. And, Murphy's is a great town to walk around in. read more

Customer service is awful. I wanted to return a non perishable gift for credit and was denied. I have shopped there for years and even though I love their oils I won't shop there again. read more

Took a class there last week and WOWEE --- great fun and super ideas! This is a place not to be missed --- by locals or visitors, alike --- and I am going to do my best to be certain that nobody ever misses Marsolios! read more

Great concept but turned out to be a big waste of time. On a busy passport weekend, there were only 2 people working there with a crowd of of people needing help. So after spending time tasting and picking out what I wanted the wait to have my order bottled was ridiculously long and then I was told to wait on another ridiculously long line to pay. I chose not to spend any more of my precious Sunday waiting around so I left. I'll buy my olive oils and vinegars elsewhere read more

There is an amazing variety of oils and vinegars. We tried countless blends and ate a rather large amount of bread chunks. The manager was wonderful and "made" us her favorite blends. All the oils and vinegars are priced differently - with truffle oils being on the upper end of price! A great stop in amongst wine tasting! read more

The prices were very reasonable and they had an awesome selection! My favorite vinegars were the peach and white grapefruit. You can either drink the olive oil/vinegar straight up, or dip it in sourdough bread. It's located in a cute little shop, with wine tasting in the back. The staff was very friendly and had plenty of recommendations and recipes. read more

Went in to buy a gift and came out with all sorts of goodies for myself! Not only do you have a huge selection of olive oils (my favs are blood orange and garlic, had to have a bottle!) and balsamic vinegars but there is also a corner of the shop where La Folia pours wine tastings. I fell in love with their 2008 Sierra Foothills Barbara and Zin!! Had to buy a bottle of each! Yum! read more

What an incredible experience - a must visit in Murphy's. The staff is super friendly and very willing to help and explain all their great balsamics and olive oils. They will help you discover the magic of their pairings!! read more

A really fun foodie place to visit. By trying a vast array of olive oils, you can really nail down what traits appeal to you. Go when you have plenty of time, and try to taste the oils bare (without bread), if you can. Don't like olive oil? Try some of the vinegars like Dark Chocolate or Espresso Balsamic - yummy! The staff was friendly, and there was no hard sell. If you love this place, be sure to visit the Spice Tin as well. read more

If you like olive oil and balsamic vinegar, you have to visit this place. There are like 20 or more of each to taste. Clean, neat decor, and friendly staff. read more

Love their olive oil so much!! I was in Murphys Saturday, and so sad I had to leave before the store opened. As we passed by, we peeked in, and the owner let us in even though they were closed to buy my favorite chipoltle oil. A HUGE thank you for the best customer service ever!!! We'll be back soon!, read more

This is definitely a place worth visiting. They had samples of the best olive spread I've ever had. Unfortunately, they ran out of it, so I could not purchase a jar! I'd like to order it on line, but their website is not up yet. You can sample pretty much everything. They have all things olive, olives, olive oils,( olive shampoo, and olive conditioner made in Italy), olive spreads, and wonderful balsamic vinegar. Nice folks work there. Plus there is a spice and salt shop around the corner called The Spice Tin. Murphys CA is a wonderful place to visit. There's also a good bakery/cafe a couple doors down, Aria , I think, and a good pet shop, and much more. I live in 6 hrs south! Check out the town of Columbia too, if you are in the area. read more

My experience with this vendor was not first hand. It was the experience of a co-worker. Work place is in San Andreas. She called Marisolio to find out what their closing time was and was told it was 5pm on this particular day. She left in plenty of time to make the drive to Murphys well before 5pm but found the sign on the door said closed. Since she saw employees still present, she knocked and pointed out that it was not yet 5pm. She was told the "last tasting" was at 4:45. My co-worker explained she did not want to taste, she knew what she wanted to buy, but alas "the register" was closed for the day. She explained she called and the employee acknowleged that yes, she remembered talking to her. The employee sighed and reluctantly offered to "re-open" the register. My co-workder declined the offer. She did however trek on up to Alchemy who gladly took her money. Because of this, there are several potential customers of this person and their friends and family who will not be visiting Marisolio. Not the way to do business in a small community dependent on word of mouth for a great portion of their sales. read more
