Navidi’s Olive Oils & Vinegars

I came across the Navidis booth at the Farmer Market in Vancouver and purchased a bottle of the Maple Balsamic Vinegar. Outstanding and versatile.
When we realized how close we were to their shop in Camas, our family decided to take a few minutes to stop in to take a look around. I like how their shop is set up, where you can easily see whats available and sample to your hearts content. The sales people were very helpful and friendly. I especially appreciate the advice on ways to use and combine the different flavors. We bought several assorted bottles of both oil and vinegars and I expect will be doing some seasonal gift shopping here as well.

I went to their booth for years at the Portland Seafood and Wine Festival. We love their products and their people. Very tasty vinegars and oils with super friendly service. I especially love the Meyer Lemon Olive Oil (great in or as a salad dressing) and the Fig Balsamic Vinegar. Try the fig over humus! Can’t stop eating it.

Tried the blueberry balsamic lemonade at camas days. Amazingly tart, and perfectly balanced. Can’t wait to check out the store front.

The staff here is so knowledgeable if you have any questions. There are taster cups to try the different oils and vinegars. Selection is huge, there is a recipe rack, and the staff is eager to exchange ideas for using their product. You can also find a smaller selection at the Vancouver Farmers Market when it is open!

I am always so amazed by what this place has. I never knew how many different flavors olive oil and vinegar can have, especially when you put them together.
There are flavors from cranberry-​pear, to garlic, to espresso.
They offer a few different sizes of bottles, and free tasting. They will happily make different combinations for you to try.
Its hard to escape this place without at least one bottle, but I love that they have a punch card system! This place can sure add up though!

What a great find! Navidi’s has a huge selection of olive oils and vinegars so plan to spend some time looking at everything and trying lots of different things. I like that they have 3 different bottle sizes so you can buy a little or buy a lot. In addition to the oils and vinegars, they also sell different flavored salts and sugars, teas, and dried pasta. I ended up buying gifts for my family as well as myself. I purchased a bottle of garlic olive oil, an australian olive oil, a butter flavored olive oil, an 18 year old balsamic vinegar, lavender vinegar, and truffle salt. The butter olive oil and truffle salt are great together on popcorn!
I will definitely stop by every time I’m in Camas!

This is a wonderful shop with great oils and balsamic vinegars. I bought some great gift packages for friends there over the holidays and only wished I had splurged for my own pantry. The staff was great in helping with selections!

Divine balsalmic vinegars and oils. I love the lavendar and also the espresso flavored vinegars. Goes well on surprisingly so many things (watermelon, berries, BBQ, and on and on).
Bring your bottle back to be refilled and you get $ 1 off and they also have a punch card for frequent flyers like me.
On my last visit (08÷05÷12) there were no bread samples out. The person working wasn’t the owner. She was helpful, but having bread or fruit out is expected in order to sample the many choices here.

Owner/​staff are super friendly and definitely know their products. We ended up buying two different types of fantastic olive oil (what we came for) but what got me really excited was the plethora of flavored balsamics… all so amazing! Blueberry! Chocolate! Black Cherry! My mouth was so happy! I will definitely be back for refills on the oil and for some of the black cherry balsamic… heaven in a bottle! So pleased to be able to support this local seller and get an excellent California oil.

So after reading all the reviews here on Unilocal,despite Kori S’s, I traveled to Camas from Vancouver to check it out. What I found was warm and inviting… I came on a sunday, which they had bread (Kori also said bread wasn’t available, which it was) and found staff and products to be delightful. The «clerk» knew what she was talking about and was super helpful. I bought some stocking stuffers and gifts for my staff and I am planning on going back to get some more!

Disappointing visit today. Took a friend after receiving an email invite claiming fresh bread and specials. Arrived at 11:30 am, no bread to be had and clerk didn’t have a clue what we were talking about… then she disappeared into the back for 10 minutes while we helped ourselves. This is not going to cut it if you expect to succeed in Camas. Step up the CS and get some bread in your store consistently. You can only sample so much vinegar and oil before you need some bread to clear your palate.

I found out about Navidi’s through a local Vancouver event (The International Food festival) where I got to sample a limited selection of Balsamics and Olive Oils. I love the Raspberry Balsamic so much, I bought one on the spot. I got a card and the next weekend found myself in their store wondering at all the different Balsamic’s and EVOO’s.
After sampling several, I decided on a HOT EVOO and some lamb beef jerky (from a local lamb supplier). I came back the next weekend and bought some Applewood smoked sea salt and some Red Apple Balsamic that was on sale for the Camas days event that was happening.
I am always amazed at this store because they have all kinds of different oils and vinegars as well as loose tea, sea salts, breads, various cuts of lamb and even recipes! I used some of the Applewood smoked sea salt and Red Apple balsamic vinegar on some new york strip steaks and they were SO delicious! i would recommend this store to anyone who loves to cook.
And yes, I don’t buy store bought salad dressings any more. I now make vinegarettes with their vinegars and oils. With so many flavor combinations, I will never get tired of them!
Check them out! You won’t be sorry you did!

The owners of Navidi’s are so patient and never pushy about selling their oils and vinegars. You are free to peruse and sample products throughout their store without being bothered. Never thought I’d find a place like this in dinky downtown Camas, but it’s definitely a gem! Love that they have a frequent buyer program and discounts for bringing your original bottles back for refills.

Love, love, love This store. The olive oil & vinegar are excellent. You can «try before you buy». The owners are very nice & offer suggestions for new ways to use their product. Don’t go to Vancouver without scooting on over to Camas and sampling the oil & vinegar at Navidis.

If you want your dish to carry a unique and classy flavor you really need to keep these olive oils and vinegars in your arsenal. This little shop is my favorite downtown Camas stop. I cant get enough ! My favorite spaghetti oil is the Tuscan herb — giving the noodles a real tuscan flavor — and the blackberyy basalmic gives just the right zing to my pork roasts! If you want a delicious mushroon topping for your steak — sauté them with the coconut ginger vinegar! TDF!

Great find and exceptional for Camas!

If there is an ounce of foodie in you it is worth the drive to downtown Camas to sample the ample selection of olive oil, salts, and vinegars of Navidi’s. Gabby (owner) guided my wife and I through our world tour sampler before we decided on the 18 year old Traditional Balsamic Vinegar (my favorite), the 25 year old Sherry Wine Vinegar (my wife’s favorite), the buttery smooth flavored Hojiblanca Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain, and the Mt. Andes Pink Mineral Salt.
They also have a decent selection of loose tea, locally baked bread, as well assorted other seasonings and miscellaneous vinegar and oil related accessories. The owners were kind, knowledgeable, and informative with a passion for their business.

I was approached by a very tall man (Ken-​owner) as I entered the QFC in Camas. He told me he and his wife had recently opened a local business and gave me a handout about the biz and asked me to come and visit sometime. I just so happen to be in the area the following day so I decided to take a peek at the store. When I walked in Gabby (Ken’s wife) warmly welcomed me in and gave me a rundown of the store and what they had to offer. She had me taste several oils and vinegars… some infused with fruit others had nuts and even a chocolate flavor. She also had me taste several flavored sea salts. After smelling and tasting several things I decided on the chipotle sea salt, roasted french walnut oil, wild blueberry balsamic and a whole fruit blood orange oil. However, everything I tasted was fabulous.
I really enjoyed being in Navidi because Ken and Gabby’s 2 kids were there and it’s clear that this couple are following a passion. I love supporting local places and I think this is a great addition to the Camas community. I would strongly urge people to give this place a look.
