An up-scale product is taking over the Yellowknife food market.

The Aurora & Inukshuks olive oil company, created by Mark Bach is aimed toward people who enjoy the flavour of assorted olive oils.

The inspiration came from Bach's daughters, who at the time were working in Kelowna B.C. The entrepreneurs were enamored by the product to the point where they believed their should be a market for it in Yellowknife.

Olives, much like grapes for making wine, must be picked at the perfect time. There are different olives meant for different seasons, Bach adds there are also documented health benefits for the product.

The Aurora & Inukshuks Olive oil company held a tasting on Monday to further expand their audience. The company offered different flavours from maple balsamic to blood orange olive oil. Mark said there is no flavour that is off-limits to the company.
