Queen Creek Olive Mill is not an overwhelming structure, nor is it a well-known stop in anyone's Arizona tour itinerary (yet). The Queen Creek Olive Mill is a family owned company that grows and presses olives for the production of high quality extra virgin olive oil.

The Arizona extra virgin olive oil is a blend of several olive varieties. The classic olives of Tuscany; the Lechino, Frantoio, Pendolino, and Lucca; the Mission Olive; the Spanish varietals Manzanillo and Sevillano, as well as the Italian Baroni and Grappelo, and the Greek Kalamata.

The Queen Creek Olive Mill is located at Rittenhouse Rd. south of Ocotillo Road. This map will help you find it.

When you get there, and you see the facility pictured above, you'll ask the same question that almost everyone asks when they walk in the door--where are the olive trees??? I'll tell you on the next page....
