U

nless you’re looking for it, Oliviers and Co. is easy to miss on a stroll down Newbury Street. But the subterranean international olive-oil seller is well worth a visit. The shop boasts a free tasting station, an in-house olive press, and enough gourmet goodies to satisfy even the pickiest palate. The labels on the bottles describe the different flavors, and there are assortment packs with flavors like chili, basil, and lemon for those who can’t make up their mind. The array of tapenades, vinegars, and sweets make great gifts. And though they’re pricey, the products are long lasting—and you can sample to your heart’s content for free. Moravek
