Spice and Olive Oil shops pop up at Reading Terminal

POSTED: Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 1:10 PM

The Reading Terminal is a place that seems timeless in as much is that you can pretty much always count on the same stalls in the same places. But this weekend saw a big change up, especially in RTM terms. Along Avenue D, a new thoroughfare running along the east side of Market Street, two new stalls opened up shop.

First up is The Tubby Olive, a flavored olive oil and vinegar emporium that specializes in olive oils from all sorts of Mediterranean climes as well as infused oils and balsamics including the totally out there coconut white balsamic. All oils and vinegars are available to try before you buy and come in 375 ml or 750 ml containers. Garces fans take note, The Tubby Olive sells the brand that Philly's Iron Chef uses in all of his restaurants.

The Head Nut is swooping in to fill the gap left by the closure of The Spice Market last year. Based out of Ardmore, the Center City outpost will sell spices by the ounce as well as other dry goods like coffee, tea, chocolate, nuts, and bulk baking supplies. 

But that's not it for Reading Terminal changes. Brauhaus in currently in the process of building their new sausage stand, Wursthaus Schmitz and New Jersey's Valley Shepherd Creamery is opening up shop in late fall, selling their line of good lookin' cow, sheep, and goat milk cheeses.
