I had a friend in town today that wanted to go to Trio to do
some Christmas shopping. I love this shop so I was more than happy to tag
along.
As the name implies, Trio Carmel is three experiences in
one: art, wine, and ultra-premium olive oil & balsamic vinegars. Sample,
taste, and enjoy. Both the connoisseur and newbie of olive oil & vinegar
tastings alike will enjoy the ambiance and selection Trio has to offer.
Admittedly the first visit to Trio can be a bit overwhelming
with so many wonderful items to sample…it’s actually a brilliant strategy to
hook the customer and keep them wanting to come back and try more. The flavors
in the store range from mild to robust and the diverse selection of infusions
offer a delightful palate party for your taste buds.
The Trio staff are super friendly and extremely
knowledgeable about all the products in the store. From tasting notes to
pairings to recipes, these guys know their stuff and are truly passionate about helping you discover flavor combinations that you will enjoy at home. I know
this might sound slightly crazy, but one of the many things I love about this
place is the bottle recycle program – after you use up your olive oil or
vinegar you can bring back the bottle for a small discount on your next
purchase…again, brilliant – keep ‘em coming back for more!
Trio Carmel is located on Dolores between Ocean and 7th.
