I mean, I generally don't see myself sipping olive oil or balsamic vinegar, but when in Rome…read more.. My culinary game has stepped up several notches over the past few years and places like the Tasteful Olive absolutely augment my cupboard. If I can finish a pasta with a flavored olive oil, such as garlic, lemon, or maybe blood orange, then count me in. It certainly ain't cheap, but great food is made from great ingredients, and those great ingredients are going to cost money. This most recent visit had me adding in a bottle of strawberry balsamic and I cannot wait to knock a salad out of the park with this stuff. I also added in a house-made lemon/basil/garlic olive oil blend that made a recent risotto of mine devastatingly fantastic. I walked in curious; I walked out with three bottles and tons of ideas. Super-friendly service and they're always helpful if you have questions about pairings or flavor profiles. I love the layout as well as the local goods that you can get, such as honeys, jams, or pasta. Sample anything you want, but I guarantee you'll find more than a handful of flavors that you would really like to try. Let your palate experience your flavor imagination!

SO many great EVOO's and an extraordinary variety of type and flavors of vinegar! You can taste and…read moretry different combos to get the perfect ones for you. My favorites to make a wonderful salad every time are Blood Orange EVOO & Peach White Balsamic Vinegar (nectar of the gods!) Toss together your favorite greens, any fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries, or even drained mandarin oranges), chopped pecans or walnuts, and crumbled Feta cheese. Then dress it with that oil & vinegar combo...perfect salad alchemy! Or just drizzle a little of that dressing over any combo of fresh fruits. The experts at The Tasteful Olive are always available to help you create magic combos. Be sure to check out all the other items they carry.

They also host various cooking classes, and if you go to their calendar or the "pick-up food" section on their site, the owner sells tasty, home-cooked meals every Tuesday + baked breads on Friday (lately, it's been dinner rolls, challah bread, and cinnamon roles) that you can pre-order and pick-up in-store. Great local find.

My first thought upon entering was "where are the bread cubes, how am I supposed to taste oils &…read morevinegars without bread cubes?" And then I learned. Oh boy did I learn! I saw a woman pour a little bit of vinegar into a little paper cup and sip it straight, so in true monkey-see-monkey-do fashion I did the same. My first taste was the White Peach Balsamic. Forget everything you know about balsamic vinegar, stuff this good is on a different plane of existence altogether. Wow! So syrupy and brightly flavored I now understood the glaring lack of bread cubes. Who needs them? The White Peach was like jam. I was instantly thinking of pouring it over ice cream, or ... ? It turned my world upside down. My budget permitted a purchase of just one bottle this trip, but you can rest assured I will be coming back to add to my collection. If you're curious, I chose the Lime Jalepeno Balsamic as my first bottle. All I add is a little oil, salt & pepper and I have a salad dressing that knocks my socks off!

Would recommend making a stop in here to browse through their selection and try something fun!

Since Penzeys is right off the open space between blocks in old downtown OP, it was a delight to see a little girl and her mom blowing bubbles. What Joy! It is always worth the trip to Overland Park to go to Penzeys.

The night we dined, the main was tagliatelle with white bolognese made with duck, boar and lamb which was absolutely delicious (each night has a different main course). Michael helped us choose a wine which paired perfectly with our meal. We had three different kinds of desserts, all of which were great--cafe affogato with an almond liqueur, house made panna cotta and a very complex basil strawberry sorbet. Based on the quality of everything we ate, I suspect it doesn't really matter what night on the calendar you choose to go, it's going to be fantastic.

They basically have healthy pre-prepared meals in a cooler ready to go. I believe there are microwaves there just outside the store front (inside the building) that you could use, or most people just take them to go. They have coffees/lattes too, but I have not had one. Their meals come in re-usable plastic containers that I like to reuse. I really like the size and color. It's a bit pricey, but good, clean food is worth it. I wish there were Whole30 options but the sauces (steak sauce / teriyaki sauce / bbq sauce/ soy sauce / buffalo sauce) make that a challenge (true of eating out *everywhere*). The wild caught salmon and green beans were good. They were sold out of the chicken bacon Brussels so that must be a popular dish. You get a 5% discount if you check in on FB.
