Nancy O’Brien is the owner of FIORE Artisan Olive Oils and Vinegars. After coming to Bass Harbor for many years on vacation Nancy knew that she loved Maine enough

to live here full time, but her advertising

job in CT wouldn’t allow her to work long-distance. So, even though she had never used a cash register, she took the plunge and dove head-first into retail, opening

her first store nine years ago in Bar Harbor. Since then she has opened three more stores, with tasting bars in several Maine locations, as well as numerous FIORE resellers throughout the state.
