History

Established in 2009.

Gustare in Italian means…” to taste, to savour, to enjoy”. After living in Europe for 10 years, Catherine & Dave wanted to bring a ‘village experience’ back to New England. The Gustare brand was created to serve local and seasonal local residents visitng the Cape year round. Catherine avidly follows Marcella & Gulianno Hazen and attended their cooking school in Verona, Italy.

Our flagship tasting room opened in the East End of Chatham’s popular Main Street convenient for shopping and seaside resturants. In 2010, our Mashpee Commons tasting room was opened to serve our Upper Cape/​Mid-​cape frequent guests.

We love to serve our frequent guests: food lovers, casual cooks, health-​conscious, and well-​travelled people visiting our tasting rooms. Once you have tasted fresh & flavorful olive oils imported each year from artisan mills or enjoyed the natural sweetness of tarditonally aged balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy most guests use our website to conveniently reorder from home.

Similar experience as Christopher H. I usually ask before taking pictures. I made a mistake of not asking. They told me that they don’t allow people to take picture especially if they don’t ask. Ouch :-). I got overly excited since my family is olive oil producer. We were warned about our kids right after we enter the store. They shouldn’t touch this they shouldn’t touch that etc. I am sorry for not asking before I take the pictures. I won’t ever come to your store again.

This shop is a must visit as they make the best custom vinegars and olive oils you can ever imagine-​tastings too. With an average of 10,000 taste buds that we all have, the oils and vinegars will successfully add to each dish you make.

I dragged my hubby in here on a warm, sunny fall day. He entered begrudgingly… and we both left very happy. So much tasty fun!
I couldn’t believe the variety of flavors, and that you’re allowed to sample test as many as you choose, all by yourself (not having to ask, can I taste another?) – simply dispensing into a small cup. Can’t imagine what it’s like here on a busy summer day – do they limit the crowd entering the store?!
We left with Sicilian lemon balsamic, tangerine balsamic, and truffle oil.
I’ve been to an olive oil/​vinegar plant in Napa, and it doesn’t come close to this experience.
Will be back… for every 11 bottles you purchase, you get one free (no time limit).
Great for gifts, and for yourself if you’re into cooking! (not inexpensive)

This is my second time at the shop. I can’t believe the number of infused vinegar they have at this shop. You can taste all of them and each container has a card with serving suggestions. Black cherry vinegar on vanilla ice cream? That’s what we were told two years ago. We bought a bottle and wow, yes, it was good with vanilla ice cream. We bought the fig infused vinegar this time as it tastes like it would go well with almost any kind of salad. The small sampler set of four is a bit pricy, but seems like a good gift idea.

This is an interestingshop at the tail end of bustling Main Street. There are many choices for sampling imported extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars from around the world. I went to buy some gifts for a friend who loves to cook. The staff were very helping in assisting with ideas for pairings… I had the balsamic with strawberries. wow

My Mom has given us a number of different oils and vinegars from Gustare over the years, and though we’ve really enjoyed them, we hadn’t had the opportunity to check out the store until recently. It was a lot of fun, and I’m glad we stopped in. The store is small, and full of containers of different olive oils and flavored vinegars, which customers are free to sample. There are dozens to choose from, and it was neat to mix and match to come up with different flavor combinations. The lavender vinegar was particularly tasty, as was the oregano one. I do wish that they had made small pieces of bread available to sample the oil and vinegar with, because tasting those things straight– even a drop at a time– made me feel a little queasy after a while. Regardless, I’d recommend a visit. Like Robert N. said, Gustare’s products make great gifts!

This place is AWESOME! We bought a bunch of their flavored balsamic vinegars and each one is better than the last.
The fig and the dark chocolate balsamic vinegars are the stand out best. The espresso, strawberry, pomegranate and lemon balsamic vinegars are also delicious. They will taste amazing in a salad, over sharp, firm cheese or ice cream.
They also have a tremendous assortment of flavored olive oils. The hubby, being Italian, is an olive oil purist and wouldn’t partake in the flavored olive oil. That being said, I am sure they are delicious. We did have the balsamic pesto sauce which was outrageously good!
The staff is friendly and not overbearing. During our short stay in the Cape, we came here twice!

I love this place! There are so many different flavors of oil and vinegar, definitely something for everyone. I found that I really loved some of the sweeter vinegars, like pomegranate, and the owner suggested trying it on ice cream. Aaaand it’s amazing. I also love the tuscan herb olive oil… I could not imagine cooking vegetables without it! I highly recommend checking this place out. The staff is super nice and helpful and the store is spotless and welcoming. A gem on main street!

Gustare is a gourmet’s paradise with countless varieties of olive oils and balsamic vinegars. One of my favorites is the espresso balsamic which is so wonderful on sliced berries with yogurt! I use the garlic and lemon ev olive oils for dipping crusty bread, making salads and seafood. Also, a great go-​to place for gifts. Why bring wine when balsamic lasts so much longer?

This is an absolutely fabulous store with an incredible selection of unique and delicious olive oils and vinegars. I’m thinking about eating a bowl of lettuce every meal for the next week topped with one of the 3 vinegars I bought (the new cranberry-​pear is amazing!) The owners are wonderful people who are super knowledgeable not only about the product, but about cooking in general, which comes in handy when you’re trying to narrow down which products to buy (you’ll want them all!) Gustare also has great gifts that are already wrapped. And the best part is, you can try everything before buying! Definitely worth a trip to check it out!

I love this place. I use their oils and vinegars on everything: salads, grilling, in yogurt, on oatmeal, even on ice cream! And the best part about it is that it’s a healthy alternative to using things like salad dressings. Going into the stores is so much fun– you get to taste everything before you buy it and I always end up chatting with the owners about new, creative ideas for using the products. One of the owners, Catherine, has the best recipe ideas, which is always helpful when you’re throwing a dinner party or just looking for something new to do. Also, I give everyone a Gustare gift basket for gifts– Christmas, birthdays, weddings, you name it. You can create your own basket, it’s affordable and shipping is hassle-​free. If you haven’t been into the store yet, I highly recommend it!

What a wonderful place! Gustare Oils are definetely known by their quality of oil and the uniqueness of their flavors. The tasting room and shop is beautifully decorated with a warm and welcoming environment. The walls are covered with tasteful art of olives and Italian scenery, making this family owned shop very inviting to customers. The owners, Dave and Catherine, are very knowledgeable about their infused oils and vinegars, along with great recommendations of food parings and recipes to make with the particular oils/​vinegars you buy. Dave and Catherine make it easy for you to taste all of the different types of oils/​vinegars by providing little tasting cups to use with each different flavor you want to try. Personally, I bought the Sage and Wild Mushroom Oil and the Italian Herb oil which both I have found are Phenomena, not to mention affordable! It was hard to decide on which ones to buy because the options are endless! I highly recommend this shop as a «must-​see» when on the cape!

My boyfriend and I were attended on by one of the owners, David, the two days (in a row!) that we visited Gustare. He’s super nice and knowledgeable about the oils and vinegars he sells, and also really helpful.
The shop itself is also really nice and clean– there are mini vats set up filled with different infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars with tiny cups so you can try whatever strikes your fancy. The labels are also helpful, with suggestions about how to use the oil or vinegar. Their website also has recipes, too.
Both times we went in, we did not walk out empty-​handed, and the hardest part was deciding what to buy. there’s so much to choose from!
Most oils cost about $ 15, and the vinegars about $ 12−14− a great price, imo, especially given the knowledge and love that go into the products!

We thought we would catch the leaves changing in the East and had never been to the «Cape». Well it is everything I envisioned.
We like the quaint little towns .We found Chatham, Ma. Following our standard approach we drove through town first to survey the landscape. We, then, walked it .
At one end of Main Street we found Gustare. They are an olive oil and balsamic vinegar store that markets their products with tastings. They must have at least 30 variations of products. We had no idea that you could buy so many different flavors.
We asked how to use their products and were astonished by all of the ways we could enhance our food. They call it pairings like wines.
My wife chatted with the lady in charge, Catherine, and was given a lot of great ideas. The next thing I knew we were buying some bottles .
We were about to leave and I asked if it was possible to ship some bottles as holiday gifts. Voila, we shortened our list of gifts to buy by 7 people.
We got home and tried the Porcini infused olive oil as a substitute for butter in our scrambled eggs. It was over the top.
I highly recommend this place as a don’t miss if you are on the Cape.
