Review Title: Really, An Olive Oil Store Isn't a Crazy Idea [ View All Reviews ]

RATING
Review score is 2.00
Thumbs Up!
When I heard that there would be an Olive Oil store opening up in Downtown Campbell, it struck me as a curious place, but I didn't think I'd ever end up shopping there. Sure, they had around 20 different varieties of Olive Oils, but just how great could it possibly be to warrant an entire store for it?

Ok, I'm eating those thoughts along with a few bottles of their olive oils from their taps. The thing I never understood until now is that the olive oil you get at the supermarket isn't exactly "real" olive oil. The real stuff is a seasonal product that is fresh and has a lot more flavor in it. It tastes especially awesome if you're a fan of dipping with bread.

I never thought I'd care about the grade of olive oil I was getting, but now that I've tried the stuff at the Olive Bar, it'll be hard to go back because everything else just tastes like crap.

BTW, in the interest of full disclosure, the Olive Bar is a client of mine. I did their website.
