Specialty oil and vinegar store, Vom Fass, opened its first location in Indiana at Hamilton Town Center. The new store, 13185 Harrell Parkway, Suite 150, is in the shopping plaza, next to Chico’s.
“We carry over 75 oils and vinegars, including olive oil, nut and seed oils, cooking oils and wellness oils; wine vinegar, malt vinegar fruit vinegar and balsamics. Our location does not carry wines or spirits. We do carry over 60 gourmet salts, peppers, herbs and spice blends,” said Elizabeth Blosh, the store manager.
Vom Fass opened its doors in September.
“We opened at the perfect time, just before the holiday retail season,” Blosh said. “Business has been great and continues to improve everyday through by word of mouth from our customers.”
This location offers custom made in-house gift baskets, personalized messages on the oil and vinegar bottles and private tasting parties.
The name Vom Fass translates as “from the cask” – this is how their products are aged and dispensed in the store.
“All of our bottles and spice jars are refillable, ranging from $2 to $6. We fill from bulk stock so you pay for what you want. Oils range from $2.99 per 100 mL to $29.99 per 100 mL. Vinegars are from $3.99 per 100 mL to $20 per 100 mL. Spices are weighed out and priced per 10 grams,” said Blosh.
Vom Fass has been a franchise for more than 20 years and is owned by the Kinderlin Family who has worked in the import business since the ’60s.
“Vom Fass works directly with producers around the globe to import our products. Most vinegars come from Waldburg, Germany, the Aceto Balsamicos come from Modena, Italy, and the oils and spices come from a variety of farmers and producers around the world,” said Blosh.
