AZ DE SOL Food: Queen Creek Olive Mill Introduction

Queen Creek Olive Mill (www.queencreekolivemill.com) is owned
by the Rea family. Perry Rea started this olive oil operation as a hobby and it wasn't long after he bottled some of it for a few friends that it quickly grew into a full-time agri-tourism business that includes a restaurant, specialty shop featuring local artisan cheeses, boutique wines, and a restaurant. Now, many high-profile Valley chefs and restaurants use his incredibly fresh olive oil in their
culinary creations. After trying a few samples for ourselves, I can see why the Mill's olive oil is so popular among chefs. It is truly the best tasting olive oil that I have ever tasted. After the tour, Lita, Mom and I checked out what was available in the store and were so impressed by the variety of olive oils available (as you'll see in the video) as well as the
assortment of boutique wines. Best part of all, everything was reasonably priced, including the wine, so it was easy to buy a lot. Our personal olive oil favorites are Meyer Lemon, Vanilla and Blood Orange, so far. We'll definitely go back to the Mill in the fall for the olive harvest to stock up for the holidays. In the meantime, we hope that you will check out Queen Creek Olive Mill and support this wonderful, local farming family. Namaste.
