    the entrance to the olive basin
    Ed G.

    Located at the Kitchen Kettle Village, The Olive Basin has specialty oils and vinegars for uses in cooking and for salads. Their selections are amazing. I have my favorites but always want to try something new. We always make sure to visit them when in Lancaster.

    We stopped here on a food tour we were on were we sampled two oils and two vinegars. We have never…read moresampled olive oil and vinegar like this before so it was a memorable experience. After the tour was over my husband I came back to buy some to take home. The lady who helped us was super nice and recommended and let us taste several oils and vinegars. In the end we ended up getting 2 oils and 2 vinegars and two jams. We got one bottle of vinegar for free and since the small bottle was out we got a large one for free. Also since we were on the tour we got a discount. Wonderful experience. We definitely recommend this place.

I've been to a few oil tasting rooms and this one is my absolute favorite to date! Hubs and I had such a ball tasting all of the different oils from balsamic...dark, white, fruit flavored. Olive oils...infused, and our favorite, truffle oil! Each oil is labeled with pairing suggestions, what is compliments, and even recipes! Some of the oils were much more unique than I've seen before! A huge variety! There's a ton of nifty salts and rubs, pastas, even olive oil bath goods and delicious smelling soaps I had to pick up also! They had the cutest seasonal display for grilling accompaniments in summer. I can safely assume that table in the back changes themes with the time of year so look forward to somethings back there to get you in the mood of the season! Prices were very comparable to what I'm used to paying in a specialty store. The staff was so incredibly helpful and they even gift wrap!! Such a great place to create or pick up a pre-made gift basket for that certain someone who enjoys cooking. I have been known to throw together an oil olive, fun pasta, a salt, some fresh bread, a nice bottle of wine, a cook book and/or apron for a cozy, winter holiday gift. This place would be a perfect spot to do so! My mom loved her seasonal summer fruit oils set I picked up here which can be used for shrimp and fish marinades, salad dressings or even in pound cakes instead of regular canola oil! How genius?! Top with some whipped cream and fresh fruit! The fab staff told me about that one! I personally loved my Vermont maple balsamic and olive oil soaps. My girls loved the zebra pasta! A great, super fun stop!

    Seasons is a gourmet olive oil and vinegar brand and small chain of shops and tasting rooms that…read moreopened in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2010. It was founded by husband and wife Tim Balshi and Soraya Aguilar. The couple first began importing olive oil to the United States in 1999, driving between Maine and Virginia in their old Chevrolet. Aguilar grew up on her family's third-generation olive farm in Jaen, Spain. Jaen is located in a region called Andalusia, which produces 80% of Spain's olive oil. The couple decided to found their own brand, Seasons, in 2009. Their mission was to provide customers with healthy, plant-based, all-natural, everyday luxury olive oils and vinegars that empower home cooks and elevate every type of cuisine. Their first brick & mortar storefront and taproom opened in Bethlehem the following year. Following the success of the original location, additional taprooms opened in Lancaster as well as Anapolis (MD). Additional storefronts (without the taproom element) also opened in Hershey, Wayne, and Easton. My family and I visited Seasons Bethlehem over the summer while we were visiting relatives in the area. We were exploring Main Street in Downtown Bethlehem and happened to walk by the storefront. My wife and I love exploring shops that sell gourmet oils and vinegars, so we decided to stop in. They had so many different types of oils and vinegars to try out. In addition to oils and vinegars, they also sell gourmet olives, pastas, syrups, honey, and various types of crackers. We had trouble deciding what to purchase, but finally chose to bring home some Italian Fig Balsamic Vinegar as well as some Honey Hot Sauce. We're so happy to have accidentally discovered Seasons and we hope to return on our next visit to Bethlehem!

    I ordered 7 bottles of oil and vinegar from Seasons. I love them all. They were very well packed…read moreand arrived undamaged. Very happy with the purchase and definitely will order more.

Then the rest of their flavors you can ask for and taste. I have to say my roommate and I spent about 45 min in there narrowing it down. There were two people working, a man and teenage girl, both were kind and knowledgeable. Gave me some recommendations. I could have been in there all day doing a tasting. I ended up getting the Galegea and the peach balsamic. They tasted good together. Figured they would be good to mix for a salad. They do ship. So if you find something you like and want to repurchase or try something new then you can order it. They even said if you wanted to email and get ideas for recipes that you can do that. I don't know about you but I always run out of ideas. I love a responsive business. It was clean friendly and warm inside the store. I would happily visit again to have the same experience. Another note they swap out from different regions through out the year so there are a couple of seasonal flavors. Right now it's the Strawberry Kiwi.

It's great that you can try everything too, to be sure of your purchase. I ended up purchasing a smoked olive oil and a red wine vinegar. The woman working (maybe the owner) was so friendly and helpful, which really made for a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Lebherz and will be returning anytime I am in Frederick.

Mostly it's where we stayed (shoutout to Airbnb), but also it was the fun and different experiences/places we visited around the Intercourse/Lancaster area like Stoltzfus Meats. This store doubles as a place to eat at as well as a spot to get plenty of (I bet you can guess) meats to cook up in the privacy of your own home. Normally, a place like Stoltzfus might have been somewhere we may not have even ventured into, but wanting to spend as much time in that aforementioned Airbnb, we saw the great Yelp score of this spot and what it offered in the way of food to cook, and so Stoltzfus was visited with a meaty mission in hand. What does Stoltzfus offer (beyond just saying meat)? Well they really do have a massive selection of different types of steak, pork, chicken, and even some non-meat meals (pizzas, mac and cheese, etc.). Some items come frozen which would have worked well for us had we been staying longer than a couple of days, but we decided to hit up the counter and get some fresh uncooked items that we could make for dinner (and breakfast). Once being helped (which was quick as there were many people working) the staff member was friendly (albeit we had a little confusion about the amount of sausage types we could buy) and we were able to purchase a few different flavored-sausages, some macaroni salad, and some breakfast sausages to make the next morning. After grabbing these we looked at some of the prepackaged meats and found some marinated chicken strips to get as well. Once back at the Airbnb, we cooked everything up and the meats definitely were tender and flavorful. The macaroni salad was also pretty solid. Though nothing blew me away, the meal we made was great for the price we spent. Best item was probably the breakfast sausages we had the next morning. They were a maple apple flavor and dang were they delicious. Overall, Stoltzfus Meats did the trick for our little Airbnb getaway. Perhaps not a place we would have ventured to if not staying in a location that warranted some potential cooking, I am still glad we got to experience Stoltzfus and would definitely return if we did end up back in that part of the Pennsylvania state with the need to make a meal. Even if I physically don't come back, I know my mind will at least continue to return here!
