Our Story

While traveling in 2011, Steve & I stumbled across an Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar Tasting Bar. I became inspired to look more closely at what these products could offer in terms of not only a business venture but also the opportunity to bring this unique concept and superior products to the public. With the support of Steve and the help of our children, a plan evolved. After intensive research, Loide’ (Italian for Lois) Oils & Vinegars Ltd. was launched in Nisswa, July 2013.

With each consecutive year an additional location was added in Walker, Bemidji, Brainerd and Monticello. Due to staffing issues, the Bemidji and Brainerd locations have been closed. Lueken’s Grocery both North & South locations carry many of our popular olive oils and balsamic. Being a Certified Ultra Premium provider, each location provides the freshest, highest quality olive oils worldwide and all natural, pure Balsamic Vinegars from Modena, Italy. With due diligence, each product is researched and tested prior to being introduced into the stores. Loide’ stores offer gourmet, all natural, authentic, clean foods made of healthy ingredients such as pasta, pesto, tapenade, salsa, olives, soups, seasonings, Martini Mix, Bloody Mary Mix, to name a few along with numerous gift options. In addition to the four convenient locations, Loide’ Oils & Vinegars offers online ordering.

One clean meal at a time, it’s an awesome lifestyle!
