Frescolio

Just when you thought that bars were restricted to only beer and wine-tasting comes along a concept store that makes you re-think this idea. Frescolio is a unique fine oils and vinegar store that lets its customers taste a cup of their wares before arriving at an informed decision. Inspired by stores of similar kinds in Chicago and Ottawa, Frescolio came up with this concept that took off excellently in Winnipeg. This phenomenal store stocks gourmet-quality oils, ranging from extra-virgin olive oils and specialty oils to balsamic vinegar and specialty vinegar. All wares are stored in air-tight stainless steel containers, from which one can test sample flavors. On the periphery, Frescolio is also known for its collection of specialty jams, teas, herbs, spices and honey.
