Our Story

The Beginning
Previous store owner, Roberta Schwartz, was visiting her daughter in Bethlehem, PA and was inspired by a specialty store called Seasons Olive Oil & Vinegar Tap Room on Bethlehem's quaint Main Street. As an artist, she was displaying at an event called Art Walk, and was fortunate enough to meet the "Seasons" owners, and was completely smitten with the store, and the concept.
Grand Opening
"I love to cook," Roberta says. "And I knew the store, that featured fabulous olive oils and vinegars, would be perfect for Coronado and give me just the creative outlet that I so wanted." Roberta opened "Coronado Taste of Oils" which sells oils, vinegars, pastas, sauces, spices and accessories. "Visitors love the product as a souvenir of their time here.
Community
Coronado Taste of Oils became a dedicated member of the Chamber of Commerce, and began to get heavily involved in local events and fundraising efforts. Roberta soon became a member of the Board of Directors, and the specialty foods store proudly showcased all that Coronado has to offer to all patrons that visited the store!
Recipes Galore
Now open for six years, the business flourished. The staff had written six cookbooks, and had been doing cooking classes for four years – taking people beyond the salad dressing - The cookbooks had recipes that ranged from cocktails to entrees and desserts using oils and vinegar. Today, these recipes have gone into our Tasty Blog, which is frequently updated.
Crown City Affogato
Vanilla ice cream with flavored dark balsamic vinegar at our store became famous on the Coronado Food Tour. This amazing dessert, created by the staff, is called Crown City Affogato Float, and is a "must-try" if you are a Coronado first-timer. Staff makes the affogato (which means drowned in Italian) with vanilla ice cream, dark chocolate balsamic (yes, there is such a thing!) and Frangelico liqueur.
New Ownership
New owners, Mike and Ruth Ann Fisher proudly take over ownership of the store, and are excited for the next Chapter of Coronado Taste of Oils. Learn More.

Why We Do What We Do

Healthy Dietary Choices

There are extraordinary health benefits with consuming EVOOs and balsamic vinegars. The Mediterranean diet has been deemed as one of the healthiest diets in the world and both olive oil and balsamic vinegars are at the core of this diet.

Olive Oil Keeps the Heart Young

A diet rich in olive oil may actually be able to slow down the aging of the heart. Arteries have a number of problems as the heart ages, but in a recent study, researchers discovered that a diet rich in olive oil can improve arterial function in the elderly.

Keeping Customers Happy

With every new patron that visits us online, or walks through our doors gives us a chance to educate about the health benefits of fresh olive oil. Every flavor profile excites the palette, and enhances every dish your kitchen has the pleasure to cook.

Endless Health Benefits

Olive oil is the main source of dietary fat in the Mediterranean diet, which is associated with a low death rate from cardiovascular diseases compared to other parts of the world.

Older people who regularly used olive oil for cooking and salad dressing or with bread had a 41% lower risk of stroke, compared with their counterparts who never consumed it.*

*Dr. Cécilia Samieri, Journal of Neurology

Olive oil reduces the activity of p21Ras, an oncogene, prevents DNA damage, encouragestumor cell death, and triggers changes in protein signaling pathways to protect the body.

Extra virgin olive oil is rich in oleic acid and hydroxytyrosol, which affect the development of acute pancreatitis(sudden inflammation of the pancreas).

Studies show the LDL (low density lipoprotein), often referred to as “bad cholesterol” is lowered by consuming olive oil at least once a day.

 

Oleocanthal is a type of natural phenolic compound found in extra-virgin olive oil, and it has been proven that Alzheimer’s disease rates are lower in Mediterranean countries, where consumption of olive oil is higher than anywhere else in the world.

Extra virgin olive oil and its extracts protect against oxidative damage of hepatic tissue, which resides in the liver.

Tasting Experience

We follow the olive crush in the northern and southern hemispheres to provide you with the most recently produced, and healthiest oils found anywhere in the world

Passion For Quality

We proudly carry ultra premium rating for every olive oil, and they are tested by UC Davis and all the chemistry is posted. We have a tasting room of many different organic olive oils, and 20 different organic balsamic vinegars, new product lines coming in monthly, a wonderful staff, six cookbooks, and amazing customers. We feel so lucky to be apart of Coronado’s small business community. Thank you to everyone who supports our dream.
