Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Aged Balsamic Vinegar Tasting Bar

At North Street Market and Wilson's Market, our olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting bar is one of the reasons people make a special trip to the Eastern Shore. We hand-select fresh-crush extra virgin olive oils and traditionally aged balsamics from small producers, and we pour every one for you to taste before you buy — no guessing, no wasted bottles.

Taste Before You Buy

Walk in and sample our full lineup, from bold, peppery Tuscan-style olive oils to smooth, fruit-forward varieties, alongside barrel-aged balsamics ranging from rich and syrupy to bright and tangy. Our staff will walk you through pairings — think fig balsamic drizzled over cheese, or a citrus-infused oil finishing a plate of fresh seafood. Whether you're new to tasting oils and vinegars or you're a longtime collector, we'll help you find the bottle that's right for your kitchen.

What Makes Ours Different

• Fresh-crush extra virgin olive oils, tested for quality and flavor

• Traditionally aged balsamic vinegars, aged 12–25+ years

• Rotating seasonal and infused varieties (citrus, herb, fig, and more)

• Every bottle available to taste in-store, before you buy

  I can’t add or embed an image directly here, but I can help in three ways — choose one:

  1. Describe exactly what the image should look like (composition, colors, text, size, file format) so you or a designer can create it.

  2. Provide ready-to-use image upload instructions and suggested filenames for your website, social post, or email.

  3. Create a short caption and alt-text for an image you already have.

  Which would you like? If you choose option 1, tell me the intended use (website banner, Instagram post, printed flyer, email header), preferred dimensions, and any specific elements (product shots, location photo, logo, text).

THE FRESHEST EXTRA VIRGIN

OLIVE OIL IN THE WORLD!

The Perfect Olive Oil & Balsamic

Pairings for a Cheese Board

A great cheese board isn't just about the cheese. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar you choose can turn a simple platter into something people remember — and at North Street Market and Wilson's Market, it's one of our favorite things to help customers figure out. If you've ever stood in front of our tasting bar wondering which bottle goes with which cheese, here's your guide.

Why Oil and Vinegar Matter More Than You Think

A drizzle of the right olive oil can bring out the creaminess in a soft cheese or add richness to something drier and more crumbly. A good balsamic does the opposite job — it cuts through fat, adds brightness, and gives your palate something to contrast against. Together, they turn a board of cheese, crackers, and fruit into a full tasting experience. The key is balance: pair delicate cheeses with delicate oils and vinegars, and save your bolder, more intense balsamics for cheeses that can stand up to them.

Five Pairings to Try on Your Next Board

‍ ‍1. Fig Balsamic + Aged Cheddar: The sweetness of fig balsamic plays off the sharp, nutty bite of an aged cheddar. Drizzle it right over a wedge, or serve it as a dipping option on the side.

2. Citrus-Infused Olive Oil + Fresh Mozzarella: A bright, citrusy oil wakes up a mild cheese like fresh mozzarella or burrata. Finish with flaky salt and cracked pepper for a simple, elegant starter.

3. Traditional Aged Balsamic + Parmesan This is the classic for a reason. A syrupy, well-aged balsamic (think 12+ years) turns shards of Parmesan into an easy, crowd-pleasing bite.

4. Herb-Infused Olive Oil + Soft Goat Cheese: Rosemary or basil-infused oil pairs beautifully with the tang of goat cheese. Warm the cheese slightly for an even creamier bite.

5. Peppery Extra Virgin Olive Oil + Triple Cream Brie: A bold, peppery oil balances the richness of a triple cream brie without competing with it. This one's a favorite for guests who like a little kick.

Building Your Own Board

Once you know a few base pairings, building the rest of the board is easy: Choose 3–4 cheeses with different textures (soft, semi-firm, firm, blue) Pick 2 oils and 2 balsamics that complement the range you've chosen Add something crunchy (crackers, nuts), something sweet (dried fruit, honey), and something fresh (grapes, figs) Set your oils and balsamics in small dishes so guests can taste and mix on their own.

Taste It Before You Build It

The best way to find your pairings is to taste them side by side — which is exactly what our tasting bar is for. Sample our full lineup of extra virgin olive oils and aged balsamics at either location, and we'll help you build a board suited to your taste. Not local? We ship our oils and balsamics nationwide, and we can build a custom cheese and charcuterie board for pickup, delivery, or your next event.
