Love this place…read more.. It's like a candy shop for adult tastes. Every sauce, condiment, jelly, jam, pickle, relish, pepper, honey, etc. that you might imagine and hundreds upon hundreds that you likely have not... is here. They have an open jar of everything for you to test. Animal crackers upon which you test sweet things, pretzel sticks for mustards and similar sauces, and crackers for most everything else. Where can you find hot pickled quail eggs? And more importantly where else can you try one out to see if you like them? Like hot peanuts? Want to try a really hot peanut? I dare you!!! ...pickled vegetables, oils and vinegars, bbq sauces, steak sauces, dips, olives, bruschettas, pretzel dips, honeys, pepper jellies, pancake syrups and mixes, it just goes on and on... A friend of mine and I walked around this place for 30 min testing things. Our wives eventually wandered in and at first looked at us like kids eating free candy samples in a store (which accurately described exactly what was happening)... but soon they were doing the same, only they were buying stuff as they went along! This try before you buy think really works! You walk up to a section, say on pepper jelly, you may have 12 different jellies, then 10 hot pepper jellies, then a few more special pepper jellies... you could spend a whole day in here. We walked out with all sorts of things that we didn't know we were missing. Some practical things like syrup and pancake mix for later this month when the family comes to our lakehouse to hang out for a week... plus some BBQ sauce, jam, etc. About halfway home we started thinking of things we should have gotten - some blueberry jam... maybe some mint jelly... pickled asparagus... The owner is a real hoot also. "Parker A." described him as adorably authentic. He's got some wildly interesting sayings written on paper bags hung from every available spot in the store. Some may be a bit politically incorrect. If you are intolerant, go buy yourself a some grape jelly at Kroger and try to convince yourself that folks buying really interesting food are socially inferior to yourself. If there is a kid deep within you, or if you are a sucker for the "DANGER! THESE PEANUTS ARE REALLY REALLY HOT" sign... you should try this place. Try a hot pickled quail egg while you are there.

I once had a $500 order she said was the largest non corporate order she'd ever filled. Like I said...Love it! My favorite oils are the Garlic and Basil..use them in everythiing from salad dressings to pasta dishes and the add great depth and layers of flavor. I also love the lemon oil...fabulous in dressings and anywhere you want a lemon flavor without the tang of the acidic juice. On the Balsamic VInegars- they are FABULOUS! You Can literally make flavored lemonaids with them- Try adding the peach or raspberry flavors and you'll see. I also love the lime or peach over fresh tomatoes! And the peach vinegar with the lime oil! YUM! You can mix them with sparkling water for a replacement to all the sugary sodas and you won't miss them! Try the chocolate, fig or regular balsamic and you'll see what a great substitute they are for coke! Just make sure you don't make your drinks too strong ( 1 or 2 tbls at most per 8 oz) or the acid can damage your teeth! But the acid also helps you eat less and feel full longer so you lose weight! There are also a nice variety of mustards and jams..great for chacuterie boards. She also has some cute and unique gifts ranging from Clemson spoons etc to holiday and kitchen items. Great to browse and great to fin a special gift for someone who "Has everything" NOTE: She closes at FOUR PM...Don't wait till later in the day to shop or you'll be going back the next morning!

I served it when I was having company, an no one liked it. I threw the whole thing in the trash. Bye bye $10. I went back to the store to get some oil and told the woman my experience with the couscous. She said she would tell the owner. She never offered a discount, or a refund. Not a good way to handle your loyal customers.

She even helped me hand pick all of the items I was gifting to friends and family and neatly packaged it for me in several boxes. I wish I lived in the area so I could've visited this shop more often.

The owner (I'm assuming) was very knowledgeable of her products and pairing options. I was actually surprised how well the orange Olive oil paired with a chocolate brownie! Like my mind was blown with the sample she had, that I HAD to buy the oil to make it for myself!!!! She allows you to sample the oils and balsamic vinaigrette, so you get an idea of what you may like and she even posts in her Facebook recipes you can use with the different oils. Which I think is really great. I definitely enjoyed the tasting experience and her kind hospitality. If we are ever back in the area, I will be back again.

One of my favorite places in Highlands! Amazing cheese selection, great wines at affordable prices,…read moreand always friendly service with a smile from either Julie or Sophie! I've been here several times while visiting highlands and have always left with a haul of great cheeses and wine. They also make premade sandwiches daily that are a great option on the go - and parking is usually pretty easy (which isn't the case for most shops in the area) The interior is clean and bright and they have a small shop with gifts, crackers, and more. I've purchased quite a few gifts here for my culinary friends and family. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you check out One Wicker Cheese Co! You won't be disappointed!

Featuring Proscuitto, Affinois Cheese, Cherry Jam & Arugula on a fresh Baguette, this sandwich was calling our name! Of course, once you walk in the doors of One Wicker Cheese, how can you not try some of their cheeses and pick up a box of crackers? My DH and I had the best time trying s variety of cheeses from the case and walked out with not only our Sandwich of the Day but also a variety of delicious cheeses that we then enjoyed once we got home! All in all, a delightful experience in the heart of Highlands. We will definitely be back!

I typically prefer local businesses especially in Asheville to chains, but this one gets a pass…read morebecause it's quite good. I've purchased many rubs, salts, spices, and sugars from them over the years and all of them have been amazing. I especially like their smoked salts. I like to bake giant chocolate chip cookies and sprinkle them with the smoked salt crystals to give them an extra layer of flavoring. You can taste anything you want such as the salts or sugars or rubs, just ask one of the associates to help you. You can smell anything you like yourself by just opening the jars and taking a nice whiff. Many items come in bags and some come in shakers. If you get something coarse you can ask for a grinder top that goes on your shaker for when you want smaller particles. I love the butchers blend general purpose seasoning for many things. My kids love the cinnamon sugar shaker with a grinder top....the put it on everything and we frequently run out. In addition to salts, spices, and sugars they have a huge tea selection. And before you scoff at the prices, just remember it takes just a tiny amount of these high quality loose leaf teas to make a cup of tea. Teas that you buy in the store are not fresh and are harvested too early, commercialized, and it requires a lot more to get the flavor you want. So these tiny bags of tea really do last a long time. I like to look up ancient tea and herbal blends online and then buy all the components here and make my own teas to try and then adjust the recipes to my liking. They often have some free samples of tea and other items to try hot or cold in the store, just ask. For me this is a store I always stop at when visiting Asheville.
