Amphora Opens in Lafayette

7 Fiesta Ln, Lafayette

Last week we learned that Berkeley-based olive oil and balsamic vinegar company Amphora would be soft-opening over the weekend in downtown Lafayette and I had a chance to drop by and try out their extra virgin olive oils (infused and non-infused) and balsamic vinegar. As you can see in the photos below it feels spacious inside and there is a huge selection of oils.

Everything I tasted was incredible! My favorite non-infused extra virgin olive oil was the Australian Hojiblanca and among the infused oils I enjoyed Persian lime olive oil and the savory wild mushroom and sage olive oil. At a reasonable $7/$12/$18 for small/medium/large bottles I’ll definitely be back for more.
