What a lovely way to shop! The team at Glenlair are so enthusiastic and welcoming and their vinegars (didn’t taste other products) are sensational. Make great gifts too. Can highly recommend for taking salads to the next level.

It was an absolute delight meeting you and the other lovely ladies at our tasting here at Glenlair Steading. You were very bold to try things outside of your usual flavour preference and it makes us so happy that we found new, unexpected treats for you to enjoy!
Please do feel free to visit us again in the week, it would be wonderful to see you again and thank you for your kind review.

The teachers loved them!
The purchase this time was a selection of oils and vinegars as presents for teachers. The wonderful flavours and infusions went down very well. Such an original solution, presented beautifully, was a real winner.
