Cleo’s Fine Oils & Vinegars

I just had a fantastic experience with Cleo’s Fine Oils in Annapolis, MD. I contacted them via email with question after question. Each email was answered immediately and courteously… even though even I thought I may be becoming bothersome with all my questions. As a result, I placed an order online. As it turned out, their message insertion portion of the website was not coming thru to them so they went to the trouble to send me an email to explain the situation and ask if I indeed wanted to enclose a message with my gift order. I say that is going the extra mile to provide great customer service and satisfaction. They have a great selection of oils. I especially love the Garlic, Basil, Tuscan, etc. Try it, you’ll love it too!

Love love love this store! Not only do they have delicious unique olive oils they have great vinegars and exotic salts too. I think I was in the store for like two hours just kept adding to my stash of purchases. Fabulous healthy way to stock up on your summer salad dressings through pure clean oils and vinegars.

Great selection and the lady was super nice, knowledgeable, and helpful.

I bought three awesome vinegars tonight. I spent 30 minutes trying all the oils and vinegars. It was hard to decide because everything was so good. Very clean, easy to see everything and great help deciding which ones I wanted to buy!!! I highly recommend their products.

Gourmet chief, or cook for the home this is your place. They have a beautiful assortment of oils and vinegars for every taste.
You walk it and it’s like winery, there are tasting stations for every oil and vinegar they have to offer. An you really can’t go wrong.
My personal favorite was the chocolate vinegar, and for the oils I fell in love with the white truffle.
If you aren’t sure what you want just ask the staff they are more than happy to point you in the right direction.
I was highly impressed with the lay out of the shop and the section they had to offer.
I got a gift from here for Christmas and that was what sparked my Interest, prior I had never heard of this business. But iam so glad that I did, it’s wonderful.
I received a frequent customer card and I will be filling that thing up no problem!!!

One of the best things about Annapolis Town Centre is Cleo’s. The store boasts a wide variety of olive oils and vinegars along with all of the accoutrements. From gifts appropriate when visiting someone’s home to fabulous holiday presents, we like shopping here. Add to that customer service that reminds you of times long gone by and you have a great shopping experience. And this from someone who hates shopping. Try my favorite which is Tuscan oil.

FIrst off, I love family businesses and I would just like to say by supporting this business you are supporting one of the most delightful families I’ve ever met (and I’ve known them about 20 years)
But besides that, this is the best oils and vinegar shop ever! I live in New York now and I regularly ask my dad, whenever he comes to visit to bring a new bottle of anything. I frequently have dinner parties and I throw out the truffle and rosemary olive oils to impress the pants off my guests. I throw the Bordeaux cherry vinegar on some reduced cherries and ice cream and I win. Dad gives the oil and vinegar gift set as housewarming gifts and twice hes been asked «So…we ran out, where can we get more? That was the best oil!» (Not sure which one he picks but seeing as he’s tasted all the oils, I have faith in his choices)
I’m heading back home this weekend for the holiday and please believe I will be stopping by for a new fall bottle. See you soon!

I was impressed with this store not just for their outstanding variety of Olive oils that you can taste before you buy, but also for the wonderful staff who were helpful and welcoming. I did not feel pressured in any way. They were there to answer questions, but not walk you around the store and talk your ear off. They also have a nice collection of vinegars and salt blocks for cooking. Worth the trip.

This place is amazing! I was in town visiting family and they grilled some fish that was really flavorful. After commenting on how tasty it was, my aunt showed me the bottle of Cleo’s lemon olive oil. I just had to make it to the store before I left and found it to be well organized and inviting. I didn’t feel overwhelmed due to the smart set up and labeling. I bought three oils and three vinegars and I love them all! You MUST stop by this store when you are in the Annapolis area.

My aunt is a fan of this business, so naturally when we were in the area we had to stop here.
I like how the owner was very approachable; and I never felt she was trying to up sell. Her staff was not overbearing which was a nice change in pace. I was able to walk around and try samples, if I had questions they answered, but they never steered me in a different direction that they thought was better.
I really fell in love with the Bordeaux Cherry Vinegar. I definitely think I could drink this by the bottle. I tried this with some of the oils as well.
I didn’t purchase anything, but will be going online.

Love Cleo’s…went to a similar store concept in Italy years ago and have always talked about how fun it was. The 25 year balsamic is fabulous. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Cleo’s Fine Oils & Vinegars is located in the lovely Annapolis Towne Centre.
The store is well-​organized, clean, and easy to navigate. Their walls are lined with big containers of fine oils and vinegars and jars of speciality salts. The staff is helpful and friendly. Not sure what flavor to pick? There is self-​serve sampling!
If you enjoy good food, you will love this store.

Absolutely wonderful store! The inventory is both simple and varied– they mostly stick to fine oils, vinegars, and salts, but there are tons of flavor profiles offered for each of those. The layout is clean and functional, but also tempting, since so many things are available for tasting. The staff/​owners are awesome in every way. Fun place to just stop in, also great for gifts, especially a housewarming or hostess gift.

Now we’re talking. Finally, a retail food establishment in Annapolis that combines quality products with personable staff that can actually tell you about what they’re selling. What foodie wouldn’t be held under the spell of olive oil and vinegar-​lined walls? That you can interact with?
Yes, you will pay more for condiments here than most places in town– but you undeniably get what you pay for… with a smile (and a stamp on your frequent oiler card). Instead of drowning your greens in your usual dressing, the tiniest drizzle of lemon essence olive oil is more than enough to give your salad a whole new appeal. And peach balsamic? You will swear you just bit into the fruit itself in peak season. This from a person who usually shuns the word ‘flavored’ on anything.
The sample pack is the way to go if you’re overwhelmed with variety (as we were after 20 minutes of tasting). You get four small bottles of (almost) any combination of oils and vinegars. And if you’re in need of a gift for someone who loves culinary novelties, this is a no-​brainer.
My hope is that Cleo’s can attract the quality-​hungry food lovers that are usually drowned out by the louder all-​you-​can-​eat, two-​for-​one majority. I will definitely be back and am doing my best to spread the word. Kudos to the owners, who have done everything right… from space selection to top quality products, to creativity, and especially the unteachable talent of sharing their passion.

I was told of this store by word of mouth and made it a point to visit. I was not disappointed and found that their selection of olive oils and vinegars are much like fine wines. I left the store a few bucks in my wallet lighter and a few bottles heavier in my shopping bag. Any fine food aficionado needs to visit. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Cleo’s is a fantastic shop specializing in fine Oils and Vinegars along with specialty salts and mustard. I just came to the store for the first time today and loved it! They just opened a few weeks ago. My mom and I browsed around for about 20 minutes tasting the wide variety of flavors. We got the Truffle salt to make butter (they also recommend putting it on popcorn) and I am so excited to enjoy my Basil Olive Oil and Tangerine Balsamic! The 25 Star Aged Balsamic and White Balsamic are EXCEPTIONAL! I tried the 4 pack sampler for around $ 33. The woman running the store was so nice and helpful and really let us sample as much as we wanted! Sandi, Thank you so much! I will definitely be back!
What a great place to find unique gifts!
