Q&A with Mercedes Wall, co-owner

Q. What makes your olive oils and balsamic vinegars unique?

A. We offer a product that demands quality and freshness, and so we stand

by our products by allowing the customer to try our olive oils and vinegars

before making a purchase. Being able to taste our products before purchasing

is what sets us apart from other stores. the result is a high level of customer

approval with every purchase. We are lucky in the sense that we get to see the

look of satisfaction on our customers’ faces before they leave our stores. allow-

ing the customer to sample our oils and vinegars is the source of our continued

success and it is what makes us unique and memorable.

Q. What is your current favorite product and how are you using it?

A. my current favorite product is our coratina extra-virgin olive oil. the

coratina olive is native to the puglia region of italy and grown today throughout

the world. our coratina is grown in the southern hemisphere, in the desert, in

pisco, peru. it has a fruity aroma of green apple and green tomato with bitter

greens such as radicchio on the palate. it is perfect for dipping with warm,

crusty bread, which is also my favorite thing to do. our coratina has won two

prestigious awards: Winner of the gran prestige award at the 2012 terra oliva

olive oil competition in israel and the Bronze medal award at the 2012 los

angeles olive oil competition.

Q. Your products are popular wedding favors. Tell us more about that.

A. our selection of olive oil favors and bridal gift sets are not only unique

but delicious. Brides can choose from over 30 different olive oil and vinegars

and create a perfect pairing to match a theme. our Dark chocolate Balsamic

vinegar is popular with february brides looking for a valentine’s Day flare.

our nocellara evoo and fig Balsamic vinegar are popular pairings with brides

looking for an italian theme wedding. our large selection and amazing taste is

what brides fall in love with when they first try our products. We have recently

been chosen by brides for Best of Weddings 2013 on the Knot, the number-one

wedding destination, most trusted by brides.

Q. If someone was shopping there for the first time, what would you

recommend they try?

A. When a customer first enters our store an associate is there to guide them

through the different olive oil and vinegars. We recommend that they try at

least one olive oil and vinegar, any of them! this allows the customer to experi-

ence first-hand what we’re all about. after that, it becomes a matter of deciding

which one if his or her favorite. some current customer favorites are the coratina

extra-virgin olive oil, garlic olive oil and Dark chocolate Balsamic vinegar.

Everyone loves Teresa Caffe... ...and with good reason. they have some of the yummiest pizza, pastas and salads around. We were thrilled when they shared one of their signature dishes with us. “it’s a simple dish, but the balsamic reduction adds the magic,” says rich phillips, general manager. During extra busy times, chef de cuisine, rogelio morales can make this dish up to 225 times a week! and now you can make it at home.

lisa Brock, opened Zoe 18 years ago in a 584 sq foot space on the square. today the store has grown to 10 times that size and continues to be princeton’s very own style landmark, where you’ll only find the freshest looks hanging from the racks. a uniquely mixed collection of designers, ranging from lanvin to rag and Bone, stella mccartney to isabel marant and alexander Wang to the row. the team at Zoe certainly knows what is in style, so we connected with long-time personal shopper, lisa smuckler to get the scoop. she says look out for stripes, vivid colors, graphic prints, floral prints and black & white.
