An avid world traveller, owner Denise Sindle-Tucker began her serious education in all things olive oil during a vacation to Italy in 2011. It was the first time she had tasted real fresh extra virgin olive oil and from that moment on was spoiled for any generic or store-brand olive oil. Subsequent trips to Italy, Spain, California, Arizona, Australia, New Zealand, Greece, Cyprus, Morocco and France solidified her interest in the liquid gold and she set about on a quest to learn as much as possible about the healthful properties and benefits of using olive oil in her personal kitchen.
In 2015 Denise decided to leave her lifelong advertising and marketing career and open an olive oil tasting bar in Downtown Barrie. In 2016 after opening a second location in South Barrie, Denise attended the Olive Oil Sommelier program at The International Culinary Centre in New York City It was an interactive, fast-paced curriculum and ignited a passion that Denise shares with her team of foodies in four locations in Barrie, Newmarket, Midland and Orillia and our holiday Pop-Up location at Georgian Mall every year.
