Emulsify

While a store stocked with artisan olive oils and imported balsamic vinegars may sound like a simple venture, the contents of Emulsify's shelves are anything but plain. The staff has scoured the globe and followed olive-crush cycles in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to build its inventory, including flavored and extra-virgin varieties. Straight from Modena, 25-star vinegars come in chocolate, espresso, and garlic-cilantro flavors—among others—as well as a selection of white balsamics. The staff also serves as experts, informing customers of how these products can do so much more than simply dress salads, such as providing health benefits and flavoring cocktails.
