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.

🍋‍🟩Persian Lime, doing exactly what a finishing oil should.

One drizzle and crispy potato stacks go from side dish to “wait, can I get the recipe?” Bright, citrusy, ridiculously good on potatoes, roasted veg, or anything that just came out of the oven.

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

If you’re serious about espresso, we think you’re going to love this one.

Bold. Concentrated. Intense in flavour. That’s what makes espresso espresso — and it’s exactly what makes this Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil our best seller. Imported personally from a small mill just north of Rome. Fresh-cut grass on the nose, a perfect balance of bitterness and grassiness, and a peppery finish that lingers at the back of the throat.

Come taste it for yourself in store before you buy.

🍓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. 🫒
