I was waiting for a too good too go order and I wandered into this section. It seemed interesting, and as an italian I was curious. Then this super rude lady with glasses comes out and starts with "we're closing". Then says "especially if you you're not going to buy anything"? Excuse? I never said I wasn't going to buy anything, but you bet I'm never buying from them now. TERRIBLE ATTITUDE. DO NOT SHOP THERE. IF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THAT BAD HOW CAN YOU TRUST THEM WITH WHAT YOU CONSUME? RUN. read more

The Crushed Olive is a small chain of gourmet olive oil and vinegar shops that opened in Hickory, North 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! read more

Came here at the recommendation of one of my friends who had gotten a bunch of olive oil as gifts. A super cute little store with so many different types of olive oil and vinegar! I loved being able to try different flavors. I ultimately ended up buying a balsamic vinegar/olive oil sampler that they had put together for holiday gifts. They packaged each one very nicely in a gift bag and then also gave me a tote! Highly recommend!! read more

Not to be confused with The Rushed Olive, which is when you gulp down your olives far too quickly and get indie gestion. As opposed to corporate, sponsored, major label gestion. I was crushed when I realized that the crushed olive had closed for the day by the time I came upon it, so to speak. Thankfully I returned to Huntington a couple of days later and got here well in advance of closing, and I'm very glad I did. This is a pretty fantastic store located in Huntington and one of the great things about it is that is locally owned, and has tons of real olive oils, olives, spices, and everything you can imagine from the Greek, Italian, and wider Mediterranean regions. A lot of it is imported, and while it's not cheap to import all these fine foods, in the name of supporting local businesses and how unspeakably delicious some of the stuff is, and it's much better than the stuff that for example Wegmans is offering, then I have to give it five stars and implore everybody on Long Island or visiting Long Island, to try this, and the nearby (and incredible) Little Vincent's Pizza. read more

The Crushed Olive - I'll be crushed if you don't visit this shop - Olive Oil Near Me - Huntington, New York

The best olive oil and most friendl/helpful staff. Amazing for special occasions or gifts/holidays. I use my oil for everyday cooking!

Great store to visit and purchase something. I love good olive oil, but this is a store to explore oils, mustard and vinegar. I generally don't like red vinegar. Watching Stanley Tucci recently, I began to understand good aged vinegar is very different. So I tasted and purchased their 18 year aged vinegar. The taste is outstanding, different and a bit sweet. If you taste this, your whole perception of vinegar will change. They also sell infused olive oils. My favorite is lemon. Go there, taste for yourself first and purchase something. read more

The Crushed Olive - a close up of a bottle - Olive Oil Near Me - Huntington, New York

Received a gift from Christmas of a few different olive oils/balsamics. They were all so good. The fig was absolutely the best! However. Did think the garlic olive oil was overly salty! But that doesn't say everything else wasn't worth it. Very delicious all of them. (Not the garlic olive oil for me) For a gift of a few samples I will personally go back to have a full bottle of something else. read more

The Crushed Olive is a nice olive oil and vinegar store in Huntington Village on Main Street. Carole was working on Thursday and she's very sweet and knowledgeable about combining oils and vinegars for marinades and salad dressings. I sampled several flavored oils and bought 3 of each. After I visited, I went home and made a big healthy salad!! read more

I've walked past this shop for years but have never went in until now. I seriously didn't know what i was missing! I highly recommend just going in to check it out. I was wanting some quality balsamic vinegar so I knew exactly where to go, this shop is so clean and inviting inside and they encourage you to taste. I walked around and i think I must have tried all or close to all of the vinegars on little pieces of good bread. It was such a hard choice so I started with 3 and will go back when I finish with the ones I chose. If nothing else, get the aged balsamic. If you any have been eating the balsamic vinegar from the supermarket, this will blow your mind. You can also reduce the vinegars and make them into intensely flavored glazes. I was not there for oil but I had to taste the truffle oils and they were so good, I did refrain from buying them but i'm not sure how long until I just have to go back for one if not both of them. The only not positive (un positive?) comment I can say is that the labels on the bottles that I bought came off pretty quickly so just keep that in mind if you want to know what is in each bottle. read more

The Crushed Olive - My top 3 - Olive Oil Near Me - Huntington, New York

Crushed Olive crushes it when it comes to great olive oils and balsamic vinegars. You can sample everything which I did. Loved the flavors of the balsamic and you can taste the quality. Can't go wrong with anything here. Staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

Whaaaat goes on in herrrr? I've seen this new shop on Main Street in Hton for a few months now and decided today was the day I would conquer it. Too bad it didn't need any conquering. It's so simple. Dozens of pots of oils and vinegars with bread and tasting cups near each one. You don't need any prior knowledge of oils bc they have a fairly lengthy description on every pot. The woman at the counter was more than willing to help me out when I came to her and said "ummm, so, what do I do?" Make sure you have some time to spend in here before you visit. All the oils are distinct and different from the next, leading you to taste most of em in a search for the perfect combo. I made it through about 6 different ones before I got impatient and picked up a small bottle of aged balsamic and an organic garlic evoo. Total price $18. They have other specialty jarred eats for purchase along with a siiiick lil cheese shop in the back (Ideal Cheese has it's own listing). Come here for a quirky gift or if you're an oil-phile. Warning: you might become an oil-phile before you leave the biz. (is oil-phile a word?) read more

I really liked this place although it didn't live up to what I was hoping for. I've ben in some amazing oil/cheese shops in Key West, Cali, and Holland and Switzerland, and I guess my expectations were a little high. What is good is that it is self tasting with the plastic containers and bread. I felt like there was just a slight lack of originallity in some of the stuff, although there were some very tasty oils and balsamic, I bought 3, and still wanted 3 more. The 3 I bought though were just simple though. What is nice is the cheese shop in the back. They had 1 of the cheeses in particular I was looking for, but unfortunately I had just ate at Medit Snack Bar before walking in, so I was not in the mood to taste all the others. Worth checking out if you are in the town. read more

If you live in Huntington, then your lucky to have The Crushed Olive near by. Great selection of cheeses and extra virgin olive oils. They also have a nice variety of different crackers. The staff is extremely helpful in making different recommendations depending on what I'm in the mood for. I love this place, I only wish I lived a little closer to you. The original Crushed Olive is in Manhattan , So whether your in the city or Long Island, Enjoy read more

This play is simply genius. An array of infused olive oils and vinegars, any flavor you could possibly dream of. Blood orange olive oil, chipotle, roasted almond! And the vinegars; blueberry, coconut, cinnamon, DARK CHOCOLATE, ESPRESSO ( my two FAVORITES) the selection is incredible. The best part is they offer bread to taste whatever you like! The workers don't hover over you either and make you feel like you are tasting too many. They make themselves available and are attentive in case you need help but in no way over bearing which is hard to come by! I highly highly highly recommend this place. Perfect for your own use and great for gifts. I am definitely coming into this store before the holidays and stocking up and gifts and some treats for cooking. I love this place! read more

A fellow yelper got me to come here. Shot over during work....which I would recommend parking is alittle tough. To get the full awesomeness of this place prepare to spend some time making your decisions. There are self tasting stations there with little pieces of bread, but trust me you will quickly tally up a price you weren't expecting. I had six bottles pick out and quickly went "what am I doing lol" The staff was alittle unattentive, the girl at the counter kind of seemed upset that I asked her for help...maybe an off day I hope. I walked out with 3 balsamics....but by far the 18 year aged...I could probably literally drink it from the bottle itself. Its phenomenal!! I also picked up a bottle of the espresso balsamic great for marinating steak believe it or not. Also a thing I really liked..they have recipes on their website using their products. read more

One of my favorite places to explore! This shop is located in the heart of Huntington Village. Their philosophy is simple. They sell the very best olive oils and vinegars from around the world. However,the coolest aspect about shopping at The Crushed Olive is the tasting concept. All the products are on display with little cups and cubed bread next to them. You can sample everything! And the staff wants you to! They don't follow you around, or watch how much you're taking, or stand behind you ready to pounce when you go MMMMmmmmmm! They just let you be. And they know their stuff. They also have a pairing pamphlet that guides you into making better choices. (Wish I had that handy information before I used an orange infused oil in my pea soup) Woohoo! As good as it gets! read more

This place is pretty gorge. Nice, clean, friendly staff. Now...I had 3 stars, but that's probably not being very nice, so 4 stars for sure. The 3 probably came down more to a palate/personal taste kind of thing. Unfortunately, I think that their balsamic vinegars are really not my thing. Many of them were cloyingly sweet and hit you over the head with flavour, instead of something a little more subtle. Literally, their coconut and mango balsamic (dark) taste like Pina Colada's in my mouth. Like, I wanted to take a shot of vodka to cleanse my palate. Now, I know it's because their Balsamics are 12 years old, so that could just not be my thing....but even the lemon or the lavender (that one was pretty good), were still VERY sweet. The white balsamics were a bit more manageable. They DO have a large selection of olive oil and other assorted goodies though. They have a fantastic Chipotle hot mustard that I had to buy, so it wasn't all bad. It's quite redolent of the Balsamic/Olive Oil shop at Chelsea markets so...YAY for one like that being closer to home! Kinda weird with a cheese shop in the back...wish they would do a joint pairing or deal or something, as some of their Balsamics may compliment some of the cheeses really well! read more

Two great shops in one. 1st stop is the Crushed Olive. Lets get oiled up. A few dozen olive oils & blasamics displayed about in steel containers. Each labeled w/ the description of what's inside. From fruit infused balsamics to crazy oily concoctions. You can dispense a sampling into a mini shot glass & taste each w/ a bite of bread. Like it? Its yours. Head to the back to cut the cheese! 50 cheeses from around the globe w/ expert staff that can tell you about each one, what makes it good & what to serve it with. Sampliings can be done here as well. It is a pretty great combination, plus Tons of other great gifts or serving additions ready for the next time you are entertaining & really want to impress. No more kraft singles & Ritz for this guy! read more

The Crushed Olive has an interesting array of oils and vessels to serve them with, but the real draw for me is the cheese section in the back. It has cheeses of different types and the counter help there is always willing to give you a sample of something they have. I bought several different kinds on different occasions and my guests really enjoyed the fresh elements the cheeses I purchased. While not as eclectic in the range of works they have, it is one of the better sampling of cheeses outside of Whole Foods in Jericho or American Cheese in Sayville. read more

I have been a fan of this place for more than a couple of years. The store it self is Very clean, and has so many choices. They recently added local cheese section all the way back. I thought it was little too expensive so could not afford, but all cheese looked yummy. I do not need to say about their olive oils and vinegars. It is just fun and perfect. And most importantly, the workers there are always welcoming, and do their job quickly. And at the register, they ask you if purchase is for gift, and they wrap it with cute ribbons and papers. They are always so good. Make me feel special. Overall, yes I recommend this place to anyone! To even who is not a big fan of olive oils, I am 100% sure she become a fan. read more

I came here for a Yelp Elite event and what a great place! Such friendly staff, very knowledgeable, and a really nice store overall. They have olive oils and vinegars I've never even imagined. The store is centered around tasting so you don't have to ask to taste anything you can just jump right in and go for it! The staff was very engaged in making sure my friend and I had no questions or needed help. They also explained to us that we could taste whatever we wanted. It's set up really nicely and easy to navigate. Everything is clean and organized really well. What delicious oils! I rather enjoyed almost every one that I tasted. I'm not big on balsamic but their balsamic vinegars and white balsamic vinegars were really interesting. They had some truly delicious and unique flavor combinations I've never heard of and something for every palate or type of dish. The coconut one really stood out to me and I liked the wild blueberry for a salad, the oregano one I thought was interesting as well. I picked up a bottle of my favorite oil of the night, the Porcini Mushroom Olive Oil! It's really delicious! Overall I would definitely come back here and recommend this place. I look forward to stopping in here in the future and thank them for hosting a lovely event as well! read more

Beautiful and unique, one of a kind store. The oils are imported from italy. Tasting is complimentary. Owner was there on day i visited and his passion for his shop is inspiring. Balsamic strawberry is a must to try! read more

Wonderful find! Natural olive oils & vinegars that are naturally infused with AMAZING flavors! I picked up peach infused vinegar, blueberry infused vinegar (mind blowing), and toasted almond EVOO! These will surely make salads for my diet 100 times more tempting & enjoyable! Bread is available all over the store because tasting is encouraged! Super friendly staff is delightful at suggestions and pairings. What at amazing place for gifts! Prices are very reasonable for such exceptional, gourmet oils & vinegars! Go on an empty stomach! read more

THI PLACE IS FREAKIN AMAZING!!!!! My husband and i walked in here after coming from brunch down the block. they have a few dozen different kinds of balsamic vinegar and olive oils. they are amazing so many different mixes. u can try everything and they even have cheeses and meats it was so yummy. I'm so sad I don't live close I would be here every week. We bought a few bottles and we will absolutely be back, we cant wait!! read more

Great place for oils or vinegars they have a large selections the chipotle and the garlic oils are my favorites. I can try all the oils and vinegars they have little pieces of bread in jars just fill a small cup with the oil and dip the bread in it. There are so many oil to try you will be in there a long time and get filled up. I highly recommend it if you want to experience different flavor oils read more

Thank you Yelp! For introducing me to this magical place. We were welcomed with smiling faces and the entire staff wanted to teach us about the finest cheeses, oils, vinegars and so much more. I learned so much and tasted cheeses that totally wow'ed me. Must try the d Gouda followed by dark chocolate. The black cherry vinegar is going to be a perfect compliment to a salad. Try the champagne mustard and the peppadews stuffed with Gorgonzola...oh, how can I forget the creamy and tangy horse radish spread...wait, there's more!!! The pesto cheese, mmm mmm good. Spent two hours here and only got a taste, can't wait to go back. Allot for spending some time as there are so many flavors and tastes to try! Talk to the people that work here, they have so much knowledge. read more

As far as specialty/gourmet food shops go, this is one of the best, and definitely the best around. Unreal variety of creative and delicious vinegars and olive oils all of which you can sample gratis. There are too many to count or recall but a few of my favorites were the Fig Balsamic and Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegars. As far as Olive Oils, I loved the Organic Basil EVOO, and Tuscan Herb EVOO. PS: Ideal Cheese Shop is in the back...that fact alone is worth a pop-in! read more

If you are a foodie, especially a gourmet food lover with a creative palate you MUST come bye! Flavored Balsamics and Olive Oils as far as they eye can see! I eventually settled on the Fig and Sicilian Lemon. You know I never knew I could LOVE vinegar this much?! They are so flavorful. As a food blogger, I was excited about all the possibilities! I also love how you can add a TON of flavor for very little calories! I already used all my fig vinegar, now I NEED to go back! I need me some more flavors for summer! What I also LOVE is the staff is so knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating! Beautiful shop as well. You will not be disappointed and they will make a balsamic and olive oil lover out of you! read more

This place is like paradise for a foodie! I love their selection of unique olive oils and vinegars. You can walk around and try it all with little tasting cups and pieces of bread around to try it with. I picked up a wild mushroom olive oil and a delicious lavender balsamic vinegar. They bottle it right when you pick it out, and they are fantastic for cooking, or making vinaigrettes or marinades. I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Flavored Balsamic and Olive Oils galore... I mean how can you go wrong... they have bread and the ability to dip that bread in as many samples as you like. Sure, these are not inexpensive products but I have bought a couple times here as gifts and on occasion for myself. Ever thought you would try Blueberry infused olive oil? Well, head on down to this place in the heart of Huntington and have some fun trying things you never thought existed in the world of Olive oil. Oh, one word of caution, have too many Balsamic samples and you just might leave with an irritated belly. But it's worth it.... read more

Just went on a diet and found the best balsamic vinegar ever at this place. $17/bottle but worth it!

Stopped in on a Thursday while shopping in Huntington Village thanks to my Yelp friends' shiny new reviews. The staff is awesome! As soon as you walk in they want to make certain you have an excellent tasting experience. If you haven't been there before they will guide you through the taste testing and purchasing process. You can literally try EVERYTHING in the store! I think I tried about twenty olive oils and balsamic vinegars. They should totally sell baguettes on the way out the door! I decided upon the following vinegar selections: Espresso Balsamic vinegar.. oh yeah! So great for a steak marinade with an espresso umami-flavoring. Also chose the Raspberry Balsamic vinegar, great for a balsamic and olive oil dressing with a fruity twist. Most vinegars are $16.99 for 375 ml and $13.99 for 200 ml. A light touch goes a long way. I have a crush on you Crushed Olive. read more

I still love this place. My two favorites are the 18 year aged balsamic and tuscan herb olive oil. I have been coming here for a couple years now. I even gave 200ml bottles of each as gifts this year, small and thoughtful. The staff is so nice and just love that you can walk around and try everything in order to find what you like. This place is the bee's knee's read more

This place has everything. They sell infused Olive Oil, vinegar, I went to a similar store in Philadelphia which was owns by Chef Garces (of Iron Chef). His store was part restaurant but they had a similar extensive olive oil and vinegar selection. I'm glad a place like this has opened on LI. I didn't want to have to travel to Philly for some more truffle infused olive oil. The sheer amount of choices you have here can be daunting. Be prepared to spend money. The actual prices are very good but there is so much you are going to want to buy. I think their website has a list of what they sell. Consult before you step inside or you will be wandering around trying everything. read more

Great spot to learn about the world of olive oil, which is a lot more diverse than I ever imagined. I bought my mom one of the olive oil bottles as a gift. The best part is that you can take the bottle back and re-fill it with a different oil after you have finished it. There must be 100 olive oils and other vinegrettes to choose from ...... and sample from too while you shop! They also have a huge variety of cheese in the back. All in all, a very unique family-run business. read more

This is one of my FAVORITE places to visit, I travel all the way from Staten Island to enjoy the lovely experience they provide. All I need to say is sicilian lemon vinegar. I love the store so much I have contacted them for wedding favors! it makes a wonderful gift for housewarming parties also! Bring this as any hostess gift and they will love you for it! I cannot express enough how much I enjoy it! read more

The place looked so inviting until you walked in. The owner was quite dismissive and aloof. It could have been a fleeting moment but you only get one chance to make a first impression. read more

I found this place online, and went to the bricks-and-mortar store in Huntington to get a gift for my brother, who's a foodie but has allergies to many foods, which cause him migraines. Happily, olive oil doesn't. The selection here is amazing, and tasting them all is like a cross between a wine tasting and a museum event. Lots of fun, the owner's really nice, and the prices are rational. I only wish they'd open a Nassau County branch, closer to my home. I bought several bottles for my brother, who was thrilled with the gift. I'm headed back there soon, possibly next week, to buy some for our household, and I'll probably add in some of the vinegars (which my brother unfortunately can't have). I've told lots of people about this place, as the variety is great, and olive oil is good for your health. A real win-win. read more

I love that you can taste the olive oils and vinegars and they bottle it fresh for you! This way, you know what you're taking home. I just bought some fantastic olive oils and balsamic vinegars as gifts for friends and they loved them! The Crushed Olive has a great new concept and is truly a fun thing to do. Be prepared to be blown away (try the Tuscan Herb!!). read more

Great place to shop for olive oils and balsamics. Huge selection, and they have an open tasting, so you can spend the day sampling every oil & balsamic they have. My personal favorite is the French Walnut Oil mixed with the Red Apple Balsamic. The staff was wonderful. Extremely nice & helpful. Maryanne, one of the women who helped me was terrific. I recommend this shop to EVERYONE!!!! Ideal Cheese in the back of the store also lets you sample any of their cheeses. read more
