Hidden Gem: Vom Fass

I love getting introduced to new places in St. Louis!    Friends/clients, Steve and Erin, kindly gifted me with empty bottles and a gift card to Vom Fass at their recent house closing. Having never ventured into a Vom Fass store before, I was excited to check it out!

In the heart of downtown Maplewood ...

At #7314 Manchester Road, sits...

Vom Fass is a European-inspired oil, vinegar, and spirits shop which allows its customers to sample the products before purchase...

The Kindergarten version...

The staff is not only knowledgeable, but incredibly friendly and helpful. They know their products well and guided us through the store with ease, introducing us to lovely new flavor combinations and possibilities. 

A peek of our visit...

We left Vom Fass with a bag full of goodies including 4 vinegars (pomegranate, apple, pear, and a high quality aged balsamic), 3 oils (lemon, pumpkin seed, and a good quality olive oil), a lovely cherry-infused vodka, and recipes to go with all. Thank you again, Smiths! =)

I highly recommend a visit to Vom Fass if you have never been. The tasting is fun, the staff is fantastic, and the product is second to none!  If you enjoy experimenting in the kitchen or are looking for a beautiful hostess gift, Vom Fass is the PERFECT destination.  Culinary adventure awaits!
