Our Store
Our Story
A Small Shop With A Long Memory
Oil & Vinegar Inverness is a small shop with a curious palate, a long memory and a lot of stories in its bottles.
Proudly the only Oil & Vinegar store in the UK, we’ve been part of Inverness life for almost 20 years — helping customers discover exceptional olive oils, vinegars, seasonings and gourmet ingredients for everyday cooking and sharing.
Food trends may come and go, but good ingredients used well never go out of style. That belief has shaped our shop from the very beginning.
Our Aim
Our Misson
Our mission is simple: to make exceptional oils, vinegars and food ingredients approachable, understandable and genuinely enjoyable — without intimidation or nonsense.
We believe good food doesn’t need to be complicated, trendy or over-explained. It needs quality ingredients, honest information and a bit of encouragement to try something new. That’s what we focus on every day in our Inverness shop and online.
We curate rather than overwhelm. We taste everything. We explain things clearly, without jargon or pressure. Whether someone walks in knowing exactly what they want, or no idea where to start, our job is the same: help them leave with something they’ll actually use and enjoy.
Our vision
Our Values
Our vision is to be the most trusted destination in the UK for oils, vinegars and flavour-led ingredients — not by being the biggest, but by being the most useful.
We want to be the place people return to when they want to understand why something works, not just what to buy. A place known for knowledge, warmth and good taste — in every sense of the phrase.
As we grow online, our aim is to keep the same feel as our shop: calm, welcoming, and quietly expert. No hard selling. No hype cycles. Just products with real character, explained properly.
Long-term, we see Oil & Vinegar Inverness as a reference point — for home cooks, keen amateurs and food lovers who value quality, provenance and flavour over fashion. If people trust us to guide them, we’ll treat that trust carefully.
