Sapore Messo — Local services in Fremont

Fabulous gem of a place. My wife and I picked up a ton of olive oil a few years back while we were in Europe and we've been super picky (snobby?) ever since on our olive oils. We have been searching through farmer's markets and fancy shops in touristy areas and we generally just fine generic but high quality olive oils that you can find in a Whole Foods or other high end organic grocery store. Okay so that's all just an opening to let you know that this place is a tier above. It's a clear tier above. It's so clearly ahead of anything you can normally obtain that it's not even comparable. The olive oils here are so fresh that it makes you start wondering how long all the other olive oils sit around in warehouses and shipping containers and store shelves before it's on your table. This place will only import from countries during months when they are actively producing olive oil and this place rotates their stock in order to keep only fresh products in hand. So yeah, it's better.

As a side note, they have lots of flavored olive oils and vinaigrettes, pastas and biscotti. I have tried one bag of their mini biscotti and I'll be swinging by when I'm nearby to get another bag. They're very high quality and are now a regular part of my morning coffee routine. So I'll be back here regularly even when we're not...

This store is the absolute best! The customer service is extraordinary. The owner Rick will teach you about all of the oils and vinegars, what they are made of, where they come from and what flavors pair well together. Every time I walk in there I walk out with a box or two of various goodies. They also sell flavored corn nuts, flavored sourdough breads & a ton of different flavor / styles of pasta....some are even gluten free! If you are visiting Niles this store is a must......even if you are not planning to visit Niles this store is worth...

This place literally changed by view on oil and balsamic vinegar FOREVER. NOTHING compares to the taste and quality found in this store. Additionally you can TASTE what your buying which is beyond genius because you can't come into this store without buying something. The corn nuts are so fresh (better than store bought) and the bread is outstanding! If you want to impress your guests and enhance your dinners buy them an item from here- I cannot stress how one of kind and exquisite the food...
