I love this place! I recently took up cooking and have been experimenting with different types of cuisine. Many of my experiments require odd or unusal ingredients. I can spend all day going supermarket to supermarket but why when I can just stop in at the Mercantile. They have had everything I need. The staff is great, as is the selection. It's a blast just to shop around the store and find new and interesting things to try (wood smoke olive oil!). Plus, I always grab a chocolate (or two) on my way out the door.

When I entered the store, I felt like I was in another country. There are products from a variety of places and it was fun to discover new and rare foods. It's worth driving from Ashland just to experience the many gourmet treats. There are plenty of tasting opportunities to help choose the perfect treasures. If that doesn't narrow it down, the owners are happy to help you find whatever you want or did not know you wanted until you heard about it. It is a perfect place to find a great gift for people who have everything, because you can be sure to find something edible, unique and wonderful. It is truly an enjoyable store.

Constance and David have created a wonderful specialty foods store in downtown Jacksonville, a working historic town in Southern Oregon. I have several pantry items from the Mercantile that have become staples. Our evening meals have been transformed into culinary delights with the addition of a few quality products. Enhanced flavor galore!

Delicacies & Imported Goods For The Gourmet! SITREP On my trek through the beautiful Pacific Northwest beginning in Oregon, I traipsed through Jacksonville for a couple of days. The Jacksonville Mercantile was one of those little treasures you trip upon and leaves a wonderful imprint with you. yelp.com/biz_photos/jack… THE SETUP The wonderful thing about Jacksonville Mercantile is the large selection of imported goods it has from Southern Europe and the Mediterranean regions. If you are into pastas, olive oils, balsamic vinegars, truffles, and a number of other delicious delicacies, then this is your stop! ITEMS GALORE! * Speaking of pastas, I always marvel over the shapes and sizes of traditional European pastas! They aren't *sanitized* to the lowest level common-denominator of what is believed to be the American market, and bravo for that! yelp.com/biz_photos/jack… * The cracker selection is de-LISH! There's something about European grains & organic preparation that gives a level of enhanced flavors with every crunchy bite! yelp.com/biz_photos/jack… * We got to sniff & sample some spices, and talk about waking up your tastebuds with some incredible flavors! (Makes the spice aisle at Safeway & Bel Air seem very very lax!) yelp.com/biz_photos/jack… * Traditional German/French style Duck Fat! I've always been a fan of the Duck Fries that are prepared at LowBrau, the very eclectic gastropub a mere 5 block walk from my front door, and now I have an idea how they do it so well! yelp.com/biz_photos/jack… * Vinegars galore! And we are just talking about the usual array of delicious imported vinegars that Jacksonville Mercantile excels at providing: yelp.com/biz_photos/jack… We're also talking about the 80 year old and the 100 YEAR OLD vinegars they carry! yelp.com/biz_photos/jack… We spent only an hour in here - tasting & exploring some of the true delicacies the gourmet world has to offer, and I barely touched upon the wines, the cheeses, the very cool cooking implements, etc. etc. that Jacksonville Mercantile has to offer. Check it out. SHIPPING AND as a West Coast distribution center of many delicacies, once you've had a chance to explore their considerable inventory, shipping is available if you just have to have some more of those fennel spices and duck fat! THE LOWDOWN An outstanding store of imported foods and goods that will make any gourmet chef very very happy!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Came here to buy Applegate wine trail passports and loved sampling all the olive oils and balsamics. They even ship packages if you are flying or need a gift basket. I cant wait to come back here. They have a really neat gift shop too.

This place is fantastic! I just took the "Mushrooms & Truffles" cooking class and had a blast. The instructor was informative, interesting & humorous. The mercantile store had all sorts of interesting cooking spices, salts, teas and more. Great gift ideas too!
