Con' Olio Oils & Vinegars, Austin

Before lining the shelves of Con' Olio Oils & Vinegars, the shop's more then 50 olive oils and vinegars undergo careful taste-testing by owners Jeff and Tabatha Conarko. The husband-and-wife team import their stock from artisans and small-batch producers from around the world, including California, Chile, Greece, and Italy. Ensuring their patrons take home the perfect olive oil or vinegar for their pasta sauces or salad dressings, the Conarkos boast a sip-then-buy policy. They allow customers to sample any of the products directly from the taps of their stainless steel Fusti containers or right from the plump, greasy udders of an olive.
