We were getting last-minute grocery for dinner at Cold Storage Takashimaya when we saw outside the cashier’s, a stall selling Crescendo flavoured olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars.
The company’s representative in Singapore has stalls like this all over town, but for some reason, we stopped for the first time, for a sampler.
Unlike many temporary stalls at department stores and supermarkets, this one was manned by a very knowledgeable young man called Promoter (seriously, why do they bother with name tags?) who very patiently paired as many combinations of flavoured oils and vinegars for us to try.

What a unique Christmas gift this would be. I’m sure many quaint little kitchen stores would have or know where to get flavored oils and vinegars. I personally love flavored vinegar. Perhaps when buying something like this (For a person who loves to cook no doubt), you could ask the storeowner for some background on the ingredients and also to dig up some recipes that have been made using the mixture. Then, write each recipe on a blank Christmas card for the gift recipient. I’m sure there are better ideas than mine!
