I finally made it to the Queen Creek Olive Company in Queen Creek Arizona. I buy their olives and olive oils all the time and had never been to the source so last Saturday I took the long drive to see if I could find it. One of the first things I noticed was this great picnic area among the olive trees. Of course, on Saturday it was much too hot to sit outside for a picnic but, this winter I'm sure these tables will be filled with people enjoying some great food.
I came home with three different tapenades, a loaf of olive bread, and a bottle of olives stuffed with smoked almonds. Yum!

A very Mediterranean post today, Sharon! :-) I love olives of all kind and the use of good olive oil makes the food taste delicious.
The olive groves would be a nice outing, unless one has allergies.
Makes me nostalgic about Young's Farm.
You came away with a picnic all of your own Sharon, I must look out for the Blood Orange Olive Oil, haven't heard of that one before.
Bread, a little olive oil and pepper...fantastic.
Someone will be eating well at your house for awhile.
Add a nice bottle of wine and you are set for a great treat!
Visited here quite some time ago when they opened. We also took home lots of goodies. Would like to return for a picnic. Of course have to wait until temp. is below 100.
yummy and the grounds looks so inviting
I love Olive bread! Sounds like a fun place.
And I like that you're supporting a local company.
Oooohhh, that would be great. My son and I went to a cooking class last month and learned how to make a great tapenade, in addition to some other dishes.
