The Olive Tap - Crystal Lake

A cute little specialty shop in downtown Crystal Lake. Great variety of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and dips. A little pricey, but well worth it. Staff is friendly and helpful amd will give you a sample before you purchase.

I love having a local olive oil vinegar store! buying from a supermarket is such a gamble. Marketing and descriptions never accurately describe the product. At the Olive Tap, not only do you get to actually taste any oil vinegar but you get an expert explanation of the product and process. They help you drill down on the exact taste you are looking for. They have such knowledge of their products it makes the shopping experience fun! Never buy a bad oil or vinegar again, you must shop here!

So friendly and helpful. The oils and vinegar were so tasty we couldn't decide on just one.

The shop is wonderful, the woman working was incredibly helpful. It was so much fun to go in and taste all of their different oils and vinegars. The woman who ran the shop even blended oils and vinegars together for us to try and help us decide what to get. I came home and immediately cooked with my products. My meal was delightful, I cannot rave more about this little shop.

Best Place in town to purchase olive oil. Employees are very friendly and helpful.
