One taste and you’ll be hooked. Just ask Anthony Meléndez, the entrepreneur who is launching the vom FASS concept into San Juan, Puerto Rico. Promising an enlightening taste experience, vom FASS is an oil, vinegar, spirits and wine retail concept. Anyone who steps into a vom FASS European-style tasting room feels like a kid in a candy store surrounded by unparalleled visual and sensory tasting experiences, and can sample any product “from the cask” [the English translation of vom FASS] before they buy.
The shop is located within San Juan’s luxury Paseo Caribe retail center. It will function as a gathering place for local residents, visitors and the surrounding communities to uncover flavors that turn ordinary home-cooked meals and dinner parties into exceptional culinary creations. “It’s very satisfying to bring the vom FASS concept to Puerto Rico. The San Juan community is drawn to exclusive gourmet products, and I’m confident the brand will succeed here to further meet the demand for luxury retail options”, said Meléndez.
vom FASS features handmade artisanal products from multi-generational family producers who use traditional methods and follow exacting standards to produce their products. Meléndez is passionate about seeking fresh, high-quality oils, vinegars, wines, and spirits from small producers in Europe and the United States. vom FASS only sources its products from partners using natural processes, sustainable agriculture, and ethical sourcing. In addition to oils and vinegars, vomFASS specializes in liqueurs such as scotch, cognacs, whiskeys, brandies, Grappa and impeccable flavored liqueurs, among others. And we also have individual baskets and corporate gifts for companies to give to their customers.
The vom FASS concept has spread like wildfire across Europe since its launch in Germany just over twenty years ago. Since then, almost 260 vom FASS franchise locations have opened worldwide and vom FASS has won numerous accolades, including Franchise of Year in Germany in 2010 and 2012 and multiple product awards for superior quality.
Puerto Rico Eats had a sneak peak of vom FASS prior to their grand opening on Friday September 30 and all we can say is WOW! But don’t take our word for it, check out the store yourself and tell us what you thought.
