Meet Curt Campbell, "Shark Tank" Entrepreneur, at Saturday Anniversary Event at The Oilerie Brookfield

Brookfield, Wis. – Curt Campbell, founder of The Oilerie and a Season 6 entrepreneur on ABC-TV’s “Shark Tank,” will visit The Oilerie Brookfield Saturday to celebrate the store’s seven-year anniversary.

Campbell, who pitched his growing Oilerie franchise company to the financial “sharks” in October 2014, will meet and greet customers from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Oilerie Brookfield, 17125C W. Bluemound Road (CVS Plaza). He will bring a 20-pound wheel of parmesan cheese to sample with the franchise’s famous Oilerie Aged Balsamic, a deep, complex vinegar that livens up salads, marinades and even desserts.

Besides Campbell’s personal appearance to thank customers, The Oilerie Brookfield will have gifts for all Saturday, and the chance to win a grand prize drawing. Food samples will be served from the 2015 supplement of “A Taste of The Oilerie Brookfield,” a popular locally-based cookbook of recipes and food preparation ideas first published in 2013. The book offers an unprecedented menu of ideas for cooking and baking, all using extra virgin olive oils (EVOO) and aged balsamic vinegars.

Known for its “taste before you buy” EVOOs and balsamic vinegars, The Oilerie Brookfield has carved out a niche among local culinary enthusiasts who crave fresh flavors and healthy food preparations. The Oilerie Brookfield was the first franchised location of The Oilerie, which is headquartered in Fish Creek, Wis.

“It’s hard to believe seven years have passed since we opened,” said Jackie Zach, owner of The Oilerie Brookfield. “We’ve met so many wonderful people, and had so much fun with our devoted customers, that time has really flown. This anniversary celebration is for everyone who has walked in the door and shared our passions for great flavors and great food.”

Festivities will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at The Oilerie Brookfield. Two February flavors of the month will be spotlighted: refreshingly tangy pear balsamic vinegar, and silky smooth walnut oil. A new exclusive Oilerie balsamic will also make its debut: Very Berry Balsamic.

The Oilerie Brookfield is popular for succulent EVOOs and tantalizing balsamic vinegars, plus unique dips, spices, sauces, olives and other complementary foods.
