The Fresh Market searches far and wide for artisanal oils and vinegars we think our guests will love. Oils and vinegars are varied and versatile, making great dressings, sauces, dips and finishes for a range of cuisines.

Extraordinary Together

Few pairings are as delicious, useful, or simple as those in delicious vinaigrettes. The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination, and can take on many flavors from berry sweet to tangy tart. Here are just a few of our favorite combinations –

• Orange blossom vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Enjoy this combination with our Arugula Salad recipe.
• Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and garlic. Give this combination a try with our Watermelon Salad recipe.
• Rice vinegar, olive oil, raspberry wasabi mustard. Spice things up with our Salmon Raspberry Wasabi Salad recipe.

While there are many delicious reasons to keep them together, oils and vinegars are culinary stars in their own right.

Delightful By Themselves

Oils contain essential nutrients important to a balanced diet. The carefully crafted oils featured at The Fresh Market are made in small batches and offer a wide range of flavor profiles that can be used in many delicious ways.

Vinegar is a versatile flavor enhancer for everything from collard greens and potatoes to your favorite pickled vegetable or meat. At The Fresh Markets you’ll find choices ranging from carefully curated balsamic vinegars to citrus, cider and sherry vinegars that make tantalizingly tasty sauces and marinades.
