Now you can get the Queen Creek Olive Mill’s famous, locally made extra virgin olive oil and gourmet food products in Scottsdale. The family owned Queen Creek Olive Mill has just announced the opening of its first retail store and tasting room, Oils & Olives, now open at Kierland Commons.

Queen Creek Olive Mill is Arizona’s only producer of EVOO, and Oils & Olives carries all of the favorites including the widely popular bacon-flavored olive oil and other delicious infused EVOOs used for baking like Chocolate, Vanilla Bean, Meyer Lemon, Mexican Lime, and Blood Orange. They also have savory oils perfect for drizzling our sauteing such as Roasted Garlic, Chili, or White Truffle, each is handcrafted by Master Blender and Owner of the Olive Mill, Perry Rea.

Coming up, Oils & Olives will be hosting their Grand Opening event Saturday, September 1st through Monday, September 3rd, 2012. During this weekend, EVOO lovers and foodies alike will receive a voucher for two “Olive Oil 101” tour tickets at the Olive Mill with every purchase. There will also be an opportunity to win lunch for four at the Olive Mill’s onsite trattoria, del Piero – including a tour and a bottle of their private label sparkling wine – once a day during the grand opening celebration.
