The Ancient Olive - Gourmet grocery store in Winter Park - 324 N Park Ave, USA

Like being transported to an old-timey distillery with a new-flavor feel. The balsamic vinegars and flavor infused oils are delicious and you can sample before you buy, which I love. Staff is knowledgeable, very nice, and helpful.

The store has a wonderful selection of quality olive oils and balsamics! You can try everything which makes decisions easier and there are small bottles available so you can try a few. Tasting the olive oil makes it clear that it is true quality olive oil you can't get at the grocery store and the balsamics are good on SO much. Steven was so friendly and a great help while shopping!!

So unique and lots of different kind of oils and vinegars - even more! Would recommend taking a stop by to see the vast amount of flavors they offer, it’s crazy how many there are! They also offer free samples of most, so come check it out!

What a unique store. It had a nice court yard, but also had every type of of olive oil and balsamic that you could think of. It also allows you the opportunity to sample them too.

Walking along the road in Winter Park I noticed a beautiful little alley. Winter Park is a beautiful area of Florida. This was my first time visiting the area. I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. Then I see the sign which pointed me down this little alley way with a beautiful bubbling fountain in the center. Curious I went down the alley to find a quaint beautiful store full of edible curiosities. The store is full of fragrances that delights one senses. They have amazing tasting vinegars, oils, jams, sauces and other items. It is definitely a place you would want to seek out. The store is very clean and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. You can sample just about everything.

We had to go back to the Ancient Olive since we became enamored with the Balsamic's on our last visit. We love the flavored Balsamic Vinegars and we only use it and olive oil on our salads. Our favorites are the Tangerine, Blueberry, Raspberry and Black Cherry. We don't have a location near us so we bought enough to last us until we come back down to Florida. They have many other things available in the store. I especially like the pure honey. Also many accessories as well.

Tracy and Lisa are the most knowledgeable, passionate people I've met at a place that primarily sells Olive Oil. They know qualities, histories, and flavor profile combinations! Almost anything in the store can be tried so the buyer always knows what they are buying! I brought home goods to my parents and now they're huge fans. Will come again!

They have a nice selection of quality olive oils. The flavored oils are really good. My favorites are the tuscan herb and the cayenne. You can also try their samples. The place is kinda hidden in the downtown area.
