In the midst of Vancouver’s East Village you’ll find a new bar, but it’s not just any bar, Di Olivia Tasting Bar offers more than 50 varieties of extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars for sale and sample.
Rows of fusti (stainless steel drums) line the walls interspersed with dishes, dips and other Olive Oil based products and accessories. The airtight fusti keep the olive oils and balsamic vinegars at an even temperature and make sure light doesn’t affect the fluids so when you’re sampling it tastes as fresh as the first day. Available in small, medium and large bottles to take home, your purchases are dispensed straight from the drum, corked and sealed right away for you to take home to enjoy.
Visit the Di Olivia Tasting Bar to try some of the amazing flavours and blends; fruit, chocolate, peppers and spices will whet your palate and inspire all sorts of uses. Owner Lise is a wealth of information on the combinations and recipes to come from the products.
Di Olivia Tasting Bar is located in the heart of the East Village at 2632 East Hasting Street. Visit diolivia.ca to find out more about the bar.
