I love olives, I love olive oil, I love vinegar, I love wine, I love bath products...so why on earth wouldn't I love a store that sells it all in one place! Oils & Olives is a gifter's and a cook's paradise! It's also a great place to stop by if you need a little mid-day snack because they have samples out all around!
I am very happy this store opened because rather than driving all the way to their Queen Creek Olive Mill, I can visit their store here in Kierland! The staff is incredibly friendly and very helpful in pointing you in the right olive oil direction. All of their vinegars and olive oils are made at their Mill in Queen Creek and they also sell Arizona wines. The space is stocked full of goodies perfect for adding flavor to your daily meals or for creating a colorful gift for a friend.
So what about the taste? The taste is sublime! Picture this: bacon olive oil. It tasted like bacon grease but without the added fat and it's perfect for eggs, chicken, pasta...anything really! They also have vinegars such as the strawberry vinegar which tastes delicious with chicken or in a salad. This is a shop that everyone should visit at least once and it's right in the middle of the Kierland Commons! I can't wait to make bacon olive oil chicken with my new olive oil!
