Navidis Olive Oil & Vinegars Bend

I adore niche foodie shops like this! Navidi’s has an unbelievably huge selection of specialty olive oils, balsamics and vinegars. They are all lined up neatly on the shelves in large barrels, with small bottles for tasters and purchase. You can taste every single one if you like, and they have plenty of dipping breads to go with your tasters.
On my second visit, the shop girl was very helpful in offering suggestions on her favorites, customer favorites and for gifts. By the front door there is a large rack of food recipes that you can take for free and use for the products you buy.
Navidi’s also carries a nice selection of spices and home made pastas. I ended up purchasing one as a gift, and they offer free gift wrapping and have a frequent shopper punch card. I appreciate that they promote being green, and if you bring in your clean used bottles, you can refill at a discounted price.
I will definitely be frequenting this adorable little downtown shop. Now nobody read this, otherwise you know what you’ll be getting for birthday’s and Christmas in 2016!

Moved away from Bend and now I am running out of the amazing things I purchased at Navidis. In particular, tonight I used the last of the Sicilian Lemon Balsamic Vinegar on my spinach salad with just picked California strawberries. (by the way Bend, the strawberries that you buy in Bend don’t taste at all like strawberries) Also the Truffle Oil and Truffle Salt we bought there are the best. We remember the fantastic service as well. We miss you Navidis. You have to try it. Amazing.

I love this little shop. The most amazing selection of Vinegars and Oils. Flavors and combinations you’ve never even thought of. Samples available of all.
Went in today to find a hostess gift for a dinner party. Gave my story, who, where, etc. and my budget. The woman helping me had an immediate selection which sounded wonderful. She grabbed it for me, rang me up, asked if I would like gift wrap — yes, please. Wrapped it and I was out the door. Maybe a total of 5 minutes spent to find the perfect gift for tonight’s party.
Great service, great selection and great prices.

I LOOVE this place… olive oils (like Meyer lemon!) Tuscan spice plus yummy vinegars and salts and an owner passionate about food who wants customers to sample:). Amazing

I am just floored that no one else has reviewed this place. All I can say is… WOW.
At this point it feels like Kim (oil & vinegar guru) and I are best buds (well, in my mind anyway)! She knows her stuff and I am telling everyone I meet about this place.
We had a MeetUp scheduled to go here and we’re so glad we went. You walk into this tiny little shop that is clean and it all piques your interest. The various oils and vinegars are in containers with pour spouts, but they also have bottles full of the stuff. You wonder what the containers are for.
Kim will walk you around the shop asking you what your tastes are, whether you prefer sweet or savory and what you use oils and vinegars for. She will hand you plenty of tasters of each one she thinks you’ll like. They have a plate of bread for dipping or you can taste them plain. They also have flavored salts!
AMAZING!
My favorites so far are the red apple balsamic vinegar and the butter flavored olive oil, which Kim recommended would work well on popcorn and she was so right.
And the best part? You can get refills! They have 2 or 3 sizes of bottles for each flavor. Once you use it up, they will refill your bottle for a discount! (That’s what the containers are about). We’re almost ready to refill the butter olive oil…
If you live locally or you visit Bend, please, please go see Kim and she will set you up. You’ve got to try it!
