  We had a wonderful experience at the hand of very knowledgeable staff. We tasted almost all the oils! The vinegars are blow your mind good! It makes it hard to choose! Will be back for sure!

  Wonderful range of infused olive oils (eggs sunnyside up fried in black truffle olive oil is and especial favorite) and balsamic vinaigrettes (rocket with honey and ginger - whoo). These staple ingredients can really jazz up the entree sauce and salads, respectively.

  The concept for this retail establishment is quite novel, and very simple. Inside there are many cases of olive oil, tasting vinegars, infused oils, etc. Everything can be sampled, so the guess work with some of these more obscure flavor profiles is taken out of the equation. Bottles are provided on premises, and pricing is very reasonable. I recommend patronizing this establishment.

  I love olive oil -- as in, I paid to take a week-long 40 hour course on olive oil tasting and I have absolutely no professional tie to it. So I can say that this place has pretty good oil and the staff was knowledgeable about it, too. I almost gave this place 4 stars, because it doesn't have as much variety as I would love to see, but the quality of what they offer and the knowledge of the staff rivals what I've seen down in the hands-down 5 star olive oil stores in the San Francisco Bay Area, so this smaller version in Portland is close enough. Awesome job, Benessere. I hope more people wander in and find out how cool you are, too.

  Incredible olive oil and vinegar. Blew my mind. Also, I love that you can taste samples while you're there. It's somewhat pricey but well worth it, and they make awesome gifts!
