Barrie Olive Oil Company

It all started, because I had heard about this Olive Oil place from a friend, telling me her parents just went to this place and I had to check it out.  I thought, now really, what else could there be other than oil.  Boy, was I wrong!  As soon as I walked into the store, I thought... What took me so long to get here?

Barrie Olive Oil Company, is not just a place to go and try different flavoured oils, or vinegars; it is a whole experience.  Being in the store, just made my day perfect!  I went in there looking for a gift for my Mother in Law and I left with not just a gift for her but a new friend (Denise Tucker the Owner) and a new love and passion for everything that olive oil has to offer.  Now, I am sure, you might be thinking ... exactly what does olive oil have to offer?  I thought that too, but not now.  Being able to try new products and talk to the staff and owner and being introduced to all different ways that you can use their products, makes for an amazing experience.  I can now say my top shelf above the stove where I keep our spices is now several bottles with the logo of the Barrie Olive Oil Company on them.

After talking to Denise, about how she came about to open the store, it was clear to me that there probably is not a better person to own and operate such a store.  She's not just an owner that hires 'staff.'  She is a business woman that hires other business women whom believe in the whole experience, instead of just making another sale.  While I was in the store talking to Denise about different products they carry, another customer came in for the first time, not knowing anything about the whole concept of the store.  The smile on her face after she left, said it all.  This is what Denise is supposed to be doing.  Introducing her love to the community and helping others understand that buying a bottle of olive oil off the counter at the local supermarket isn't the same as going into her store and receiving a huge lifetime experience.  

After visiting the store, I decided I was going to include it in my Shop Local videos that I produce, for business that I feel have a great message and experience in Simcoe County.  Below is the video that I made, when I interviewed Denise. ... And yes, her smile is always that big, because you can tell she just LOVES what she does.



Stop on by the store and tell them I sent you.  Believe me, you won't leave with a 'bad taste in your mouth.'  

Thank you Denise, for allowing me to come into your store and leave happy and full of life.  I don't know how you do it, but I commend you on having such an amazing energy and passion for what you do.  

For more information on the Barrie Olive Oil Company, I have included all their information linked into this post.

Until the next time, have a great day!

"Oh and by the way...  I am never too busy for any of your referrals!"
