Comments from The Olive and Vine in Portland, Oregon.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, we had some customers in this weekend who were so happy to see your oil in our shop because they really loved it. They were up from California visiting their daughter who was at the University of Portland (nearby and we get a lot of students bringing parents by the shop when they are showing off their town on a visit) and it was something they were so happy and very surprised to see up here in Portland. It’s always great when people get excited about a product they love and are happy to find it in the shop.

Another great Calolea story:
I have a customer who comes down from Seattle from time to time and she discovered the Calolea white balsamic -of course she loves it. Her sister lives in N. California and she is also a customer and she calls in her orders and we ship. Sister one came down and picked up a few things (one of which was the white balsamic) and when her sister called me a couple days later to place and order and found out her sister loved the Calolea white balsamic she had to order two bottles of it herself!! She wanted one for herself and one for her mother in law (who she just turned on to some of our other products and has become a new customer and who I am sure will now in turn add Calolea to her future orders).
And don’t even get me started on the strawberry…
