It may be worth noting right away that there really aren’t a lot of olive trees hanging around up here in wintery North Idaho. So what’s up with the idea of Coeur d’Alene Olive Oil Company? A look at their website reveals that the olives are harvested at an olive farm in a far more tropically inclined region of the country, California, and blended and infused immediately on site. Gallons of Rachael Ray’s favorite acronym source are then trucked up here where they are bottled for sale and sold with attractively designed labels and in fabulous gift baskets on the shelves of the Coeur d’Alene Olive Oil Company shop in the heart of downtown near 4th and Sherman. That makes perfect sense, I suppose, (because) owners Brad and Sandra Gunn ... also own the California farm itself but reside here/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho via Foodbeat NW. More here.
