Owned by the De Vienne family (much revered among Montréal's foodie circles), this Jean-Talon Market enterprise is illuminating to say the least. The specialty here is olive oils and spices, and it's virtually a given that you'll find some you've never heard of before. Rare Indonesian spice blends, obscure but must-have herbs from Africa – it's a treasure trove of scents and flavors. The owners are impressively knowledgeable, and you are welcome to taste before you buy. Weekly web specials are worth investigating before heading out to shop and include accessories like bamboo knives along with a good assortment for everyday use oils along with specialty items.
