A super nice guy helped me choose a delicious combination of olive oil and vinegar. I purchased the Tuscan olive oil and the cranberry pear balsamic vinegar. I made a salad tonight with a variety of lettuces, radishes, tomatoes, and cucumbers all from our garden. The dressing made it scrumptiously delicious! I will definitely be back for more! I also purchased a gift (olive oil/vinegar) for a white elephant gift and he bagged it up beautifully. Great customer service which is very hard to find these days. Thanks for a great experience!

Thank you to all the staff for being so knowledgeable and letting my friend and I try as many flavors as we liked. I wanted to buy the whole store! They even entertained my toddler while I was looking around, so that made it much less stress free. I can’t wait to try out some recipes with my purchases. I highly recommend this store!

Mr. Mike and Mrs. Charlotte are some the nicest people you’ll ever work with. The customer service at their store is outstanding. They are also very knowledgeable and passionate about what they’re doing and that’s blatantly apparent the first time you step into their doors. On top of that, they carry a wide variety of high quality products. I live over an hour away and have never regretted the drive it takes to do business with them. The Crescent Olive deserves every bit of recognition it gets.

The Crescent olive is my favorite local business. I’m always greeted with a warm welcome and receive “like family” treatment. Charlotte is such a smart business owner and I love that she goes above and beyond for her customers. I use the olive oil and balsamic at every meal, every single day. It is truly the best.

This place is a must to visit. The quality and range of flavors are sure to win you over. I have gone there many times and gotten excellent service from Mike. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. Ive gotten many products from there as gifts to old and young and have 100% satisfaction from the recipients. They have the must haves for your pantry.

Very knowledgeable staff! Gave us a quick lesson on how to understand the quality levels of olive oil. We also tried all the different flavors of olive oil from the mildest to the deep peppery. Our favorites are the mild, medium, black peppercorn, basil infused, and butter flavored. We also tried nearly every flavor of balsamic with spoonfuls of vanilla ice cream. Oh, and the tastings are free! Our favorite flavors are chocolate, vanilla, and maple. All of the balsamics are flavored with natural ingredients and contain no preservatives or artificial flavors. The same is true for the olive oil. Currently they are having a sale for the holidays and always offer a 10% military discount! We bought oil and balsamic for family Christmas gifts. Lovely packaging and information flyer with each purchase. Refills available in clean bottles for a $1.00 discount. Frequent buyer program with rewards! Highly recommend!

Everyone that works there is so fun and friendly! They know so much about all their products so its a good time thinking up recipes with them. The 7 Herb Tuscan Blend Olive Oil, fresh pastas, and Serrano Honey Balsamic Vinegar are amazing! I discovered them at a craft fair and went to their store to stock up and Im so happy to have found them!

I visited the Crescent Olive for a team building event with other members of my office. They provided an olive oil tasting of all their oils, vinegars, and neat combinations! The owners of the store are fantastic and so much fun! They make you feel like family when you walk in. The store is super cute and all of their products are absolutely fantastic! I would highly recommend visiting!

If youre looking for a family-owned business with class, quality products, and great customer service, look no further than The Crescent Olive. I have been a loyal customer for years and consider the owners (and employees) family because of how accommodating, kind, and thoughtful the establishment is. All staff are all-around great people. TCO is super clean, organized, and attentive to all requests and needs. I always look forward to seeing their smilling faces at markets/events! Did I mention that they deliver around the state to accomodate all customer orders? Its doesnt get any better than that. A huge THANK YOU for providing labeled parking spots for us in front of the store! We appreciate all that youve done and continue to do for your customers.

Ive been going here for years. Delicious REAL olive oil. Once you taste the real thing you wont go back to other chain-bought imposters. Its a local mom and pop (and son and daughter) business. Keep your money local, do yourself a favor and stop by for a sample!

Attended a team building tasting event today and it was a fantastic experience. Im the grocery store olive oil purchaser but not after today.

Love this place! Fabulous staff! Best olive oils & vinegars - so many flavors & combinations & varieties to choose from. You are given bread to sample oils & white balsamics, and vanilla ice cream for the dark balsamics! So delicious! Go here & you will never buy olive oil or vinegar anywhere else ever again!

I have several bottles of amazing olive oils and vinegars sitting on my kitchen counter, and our meals and appetizers have taken on a whole new meaning thanks to the thoroughly knowledgeable staff at The Crescent Olive.The tasting and tour was very helpful in my shopping for my wifes birthday, and the packaging in which my purchase was presented made for a wonderful gift!The dark balsamic raspberry and cherry vinegars I tried redefined my understanding of ice cream!

I would not even give this place half a star. Owner was extremely unprofessional and his attitude is worse than the products he sells. Also there is only 3 parking spots for this business and owner was complaining about paying rent for his business. I would much rather chew on glass then step foot back into this establishment.
