I love supporting independently owned specialty shops like this! Since first stepping foot in the sweet little caboose shop, Christina has turned me onto a variety of infused olive oils & vinegars. She encourages everyone to sample the oils & vinegars at the tasting bar to discover all of the flavors. I love the peppered bacon olive oil and pairing the truffle olive oil with fig balsamic. Christina suggested the combination to me and it is out of this world deliciousness! I also get my infused salts there. I currently cook with her black Hawaiian, lemon, & hickory smoked sea salts but on my next visit I’m going to pick up the truffle salt. My girlfriends recently bought some from her & said it is wonderful on popcorn! Infused also carries a variety of dried pastas that are amazing. My family loves the mushroom fettuccine. I work full time so imagine my delight when I was able to throw together a home cooked meal for them in minutes. I combined diced tomatoes & garlic with the truffle oil to make a quick sauce, added the fettuccine, and topped with freshly shaved parmesan. She told me they’re getting a mushroom & garlic infused oil in this week so I’m sure that will be a tasty addition to this dish. I’m so looking forward to my next visit!

My bad for expecting something this place wasn’t. They specialize solely in infused oils — don’t expect to get a quality«plain» olive oil for cooking/dipping here. My unfortunate misunderstanding could’ve been salvaged if it weren’t for the shopkeeper who was totally unwelcoming — not even a greeting when we walked on the door — and seemed annoyed by my questions.

Country Village definitely needs a place like this. I found them last year at the Friday Farmers Market at Bothell Country Village. So excited they have a physical store! Very cute open and airy space smells incredible due to all the yummy samples of olive oils, sauces and mustards. My husband and I love to cook and this place has such fresh and unique ingredients for what ever kind of home chef you are! Staff is very knowledgeable about what oils and ingredients should be used together or for a particular dish. We never buy oil at the grocery store anymore! The refill option for oil is nice here as well!

I am in love with their products! I love that you can sample before you buy and they are always helpful in providing different ideas and recipes for their balsamics and oils! Truffle oil and salt on popcorn is the bomb! Nice people, locally owned and operated too. It feels good to put my money in a product that lives in my community!

The store owner, Chris, is fantastic. She stocks a wide selection of «foodie» products, from infused balsamic vinegars and oils to glazes to chocolate! You can even get Macarons from Luv Macarons there! The shop is contained within a fun red train car, and it looks like she’s working on expanding into the back patio for Summer. I can’t wait!

The Country village really needed a little shop like this. Upon entering there are huge barrels of different olive oils for refillable containers and throughout the whole shop are tiny tasting stations. The cute gal working suggested I mix the Coconut-Mango infused vinegar with the lime olive oil and it was great! She was very helpful and and upbeat and full of suggestions. I loved the chalkboard that had suggestions as well. AND they had a sale basket! I ended up walking away with a small Roasted Garlic Olive Oil and a large Basil Olive Oil that was on sale for $ 12. It’s great that they have a simple rewards system, buy 5 get the 6th free and store the cards in their filing system so I don’t have to keep track. Only one star is left off because of the suspicious looking samples that were outside, but were almost too far away from the entrance.
