Their balsamic vinegar is excellent! Just wish it was available in a store closer to home. It’s really thick which is great bc you can drizzle it on all kinds of foods. Can’t do that with normal balsamic vinegars, and it tastes great!

It is the best basalmic I have ever had. Very thick and wonderful. The shipping is 8 $ for snail speed on one bottle or two and free if you buy 3 but that is over 90 bucks. I think they need to get the shipping inline with modern times.

I will never use another vinegar for my salad dressings. My husband AND my kids loved the salads I have made since I got this vinegar. I have only used the white balsamic and the black currant, but I am hooked. I originally bought this at the Malibu Farmer’s Market, after dropping off my kids for a camp there. Thank goodness i found I can buy it online, since I live in San Diego.

Saw at the california gift show, tried some samples not knowing they cost more than a steak dinner each bottle.
If I was rich, I’d stock all these muthafukas in my cupboard.
Said to myself, what the hell, pay an obscene $ 110 (bargained down to 100) for a 4-​pack of dem 12.7oz bottles. It was day before super bowl and I felt confident on my seahawks wager.
I chose:
White pear balsamic=freaking insanely good, so good got 2 of these, completing ½ the order there. Its got lots of sugar in it, but dont give a shit as I eat my way towards morbid obesity.
1 rosemary olive oil, really great. Wife starts cooking with this shit, I said stop fool, thats a $ 25 bottle! Only for bread dippin beeeaattccchhhh!
1-​parmesan garlic=this I got for salad dressing purposes. Its surprisingly not that flavorful once I put on the salad, and had to shake the muthafuckin life outta the bottle to break-​up the parmesan layer on the bottom (still couldnt get all of it after 5 minutes of vigorish shaking). I’d skip this next time (yeah like Im gonna pay a c-​note for 4 bottles again)
Great taste, no preservatives, They entice you with samples and then sucker your ass in for a c-​note…
They have at least another dozen oils/​vinegars I havent mentioned, if you win the lottery, make this a regular destination (online free shipping too, so the nice woman said)

I found the booth in Beverly Hills Farmers Market.
They are just soooooo delicious!
The balsamic vinegar is sooo thick, naturally thick. And there are soooo many kind of flavors. Hard to choose which one to buy. The coconut balsamic+lime olive oil is just insanely delicious!
They are expensive, but really good!

The first time I got a bottle of balsamic from GB, no joke, I could not wait to get home and drink it straight out of the bottle. I will most likely never buy another brand of balsamic for as long as I live… or flavored olive oil for that matter. I’m so glad they were at the Unique LA Spring show!

Gourmet Blends has some of the best Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars I’ve ever had. They are regulars at the weekly Gigi’s Farmers Market at The Americana at Brand and their booth is a must stop whenever I’m with someone whose never had it. The gals and guys who work the both are super friendly and keep giving you samples of the different products and the different combinations until you cry uncle. They’ve always been passionate and knowledgeable about their products. I’ve had a chance to sample just about all of their different olive oils and balsamic and have at least 5 – 6 different bottles at my place.
MY FAVS
Balsamic: Traditional Balsamic (goes good with everything!), Black Currant (goes great with the Live Olive Oil), White Balsamic (nice tartiness to it)
Olive Oils: Lime Olive Oil (nice punch of lime… great on salads), Basil Olive Oil (very herby)
Dipping Oils: Chipotle Chili (nice kick of spice), Gourmet Dipping Oil (great on salads or just with bread), Sun Dried Tomato Dipping oil (great in caprese salads, great drizzled over eggs)
While the prices aren’t anywhere close to cheap they do have a variety off mix and match bundles to save a little money. A 6 oz bottle runs $ 18 and a 12.7 oz goes for $ 30. You get a discount if you mix and match any four of the large for $ 90 or the small for $ 65 and if you buy 5 bottles you get the 6th for free.

This business was at the Glendale Farmer’s Market on Saturday.
They have free samples! Win!
I got to try all the different VIRGIN oils and balsamic vinegars and man, it’s good. If you love your oil and vinegar, this is good stuff.
They have different flavors too:
Vinegars: Raspberry, Traditional, black currant, vanilla fig, pomegranate
Oils: Regular, garlic oil (ran out: cries:), asian (eh), sun dried tomatoes, lime, blood orange, basil, rosemary, lemon olive
And then there was this mixed vinegar/​oil one called Chipotle… OMG. So good. I was sampling that like crazy (and yes, bought a bottle, geez)
Four small bottles for $ 65 which isn’t bad since you get to get a variety and extra virgin oil isn’t cheap anymore. Unless you want a flavorless one from the grocery store. I appreciate my food.
SERVICE: Mike took care of us. Very good. Gave us good samples and tips. Cuz I used to cook a lot.
They take card too!
Yum!
