Graber Olives House

On their last trip to California as a family, we spent one of their days at the Graber Olive House in Ontario. We started out by eating lunch at the original Juan Pollo (who besides having some of the best chicken around also owns a Route 66 town and the unoffical McDonald's Museum). Then we headed over to take a tour of the plant. The Graber family has been selling their delicious olives since 1894 and the business continues to remain in the family. The Grabers don't use machinery past the 1950's and still hand pick their olives so that they are sure to only pick the best rippened olives with the most succulent nutty flavor.

Yum...the best olives ever! I'll eat a whole can by myself if no one's around.
