Aurelius Fine Olive Oils & Balsamic Vinegars

Aurelius Fine Olive Oils & Balsamic Vinegars Ottawa's goto for high-end olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Free samples in store! With this question, I decided I was going to make it happen.

I started Aurelius Fine Oils & Balsamics while still serving in the military as an answer to my uncle's question during a family dinner in Sacrofano, Italy in 2016: Would Canadians be interested in this olive oil? For 2 years I did small popups at bakeries and local markets on weekends. After getting out there and networking, I was lucky enough to start selling to a few top restaurants here in Ott

awa (Riviera, e18hteen, Whalesbone). Then in 2018, I decided to leave the military and open my retail tasting boutique in Wellington West. Since 2016 I have been personally importing and sourcing my products and catering to Ottawa's most elite chefs and critical foodies. Our authentic, small batch and artisanal products have garnered a strong reputation within those circles. We also offer an amazing quantity of flavoured olive oils and balsamic vinegars which will surely keep you coming back for more. As with our exclusive small batch imports, these products do not lack quality. Please come in and enjoy our tasting experience. We let you be the judge.

🍓Strawberry balsamic, doing exactly what it does best.

One drizzle and this salad goes from good to “wait, what is that?” Sweet, bright, a little tart, ridiculously good on greens, goat cheese, grilled anything, even ice cream if you’re feeling bold.

Come taste this one, plus up to 45 other flavoured oils and balsamics, free in all three locations: Glebe, Wellington West, and Kanata.

Olive oil quality has nothing to do with what country’s on the label.

It comes down to three things: the quality of the fruit, how fast and carefully it’s picked and crushed, and how it’s protected and stored after that. That’s it.

Our Early Harvest is from the Paolocci Mill, third-generation millers obsessed with quality. Everything is packed and bottled in dark glass to protect it from light until it’s in your hands.

Come taste the difference for yourself. Every bottle in store is open and ready to sample, no guessing required.

Ever wonder how long that bottle’s been sitting under the lights, in clear glass, with no idea when it arrived? Is it even still fresh?

We do things differently. Taste everything before you buy, that’s the whole point of our store. We fill on demand for maximum freshness, keep everything in dark bottles to block out light, and only bring in oils well within their two-year freshness window.

Next time you’re at the grocery store, take a look. Clear glass, bright lights, a little dust on the shelf. Then come taste what fresh actually tastes like. 🫒

Sweet pear, tangy cranberry, and a white balsamic base thick enough to stop mid-drizzle.

One bottle of Cranberry Pear White Balsamic Vinegar, nine ways to pour it: over fresh peaches, into iced tea, swirled through Greek yogurt, glazed on a pork roast, dressed on a summer salad.

It's one of 45+ oils and balsamics on our tasting bar, and here's the part no grocery aisle can match: you can taste it before you commit to a single bottle.

Come try it this week at Wellington West, the Glebe, or Kanata.

Garlic and cilantro. In a balsamic. Trust us.

Our Garlic Cilantro White Balsamic Vinegar is bright, pungent, and built for summer. Drizzle it over fish tacos, grilled shrimp, corn on the cob, or a tomato-avocado salad and watch the plate disappear.

It's $21.99 a bottle, and yes, you can taste it first at the bar before you commit. That's the part no grocery aisle can offer.

Come pour a little on the tasting spoon this week at Wellington West, the Glebe, or Kanata.

Rim a margarita. Finish a taco. Brighten a slice of watermelon.

One jar, and suddenly everything on the table tastes more alive.

Lime Fresco Sea Salt is coarse crystals, bright citrus aroma, and a clean finish that works on grilled shrimp, pork, chicken, and (yes) fresh fruit. Just $9.

Here's the part no grocery aisle offers: you can pinch, sprinkle, and taste it at the bar before you take a jar home. Come try it this week in Wellington West, the Glebe, or Kanata.

Most people drizzle Blackberry Ginger Balsamic on a salad and stop there. Big mistake.

Here are three ways we love it that most folks never try: a morning drizzle over yogurt, a two-minute glaze on grilled chicken or pork, and a few drops over vanilla ice cream that always earns a "what did you put on this?"

One bottle, $21.99, three completely different moments.

The best part is you don't have to guess. Come taste it at the bar before you commit, in Wellington West, the Glebe, or Kanata. Drizzle with the good stuff đź«’
