Oil & Vinegar

Step into Oil & Vinegar on Greenville’s Main Street and you’re greeted by a symphony of aromas—fruity, herbal, peppery, and sweet. The shelves are lined with bottles from Italy to Spain, each filled with olive oils and vinegars you can actually taste before you buy. Staff here don’t just ring up your purchase; they know the terroir behind every bottle and spin stories about pairing possibilities. Tastings are hands-on and often evolve into impromptu lessons—how to spot authentic extra virgin olive oil, or how to brighten a salad with a splash of blood orange balsamic. Locals pop in for gift baskets or cooking inspiration, while curious travelers find themselves lingering over samples and recipe tips. There’s a neighborly vibe: kids get stickers, out-of-towners are treated like old friends, and the place easily turns a dreary day into an uplifting sensory adventure. Oil & Vinegar doubles as a culinary classroom and a boutique for the pantry-obsessed, bridging global food traditions with Southern hospitality.
