The olfactory area is found in the nasal cavity.
A rather simplistic answer by the previous respondent, it is in-fact found in the medial aspect of the temporal lobe.

Where is the olfactory epithelium found?
The olfactory epithelium occupies an area of about 5 cm2 in the roof of the nasal cavity. The specialized receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium are surrounded by supporting cells, non-sensory epithelial cells. The olfactory receptor cells are bipolar neurons whose olfactory cilia extend outward from the epithelium.
What Olfactory area is involved in the conscious perception of smell?
The olfactory cortex, specifically the primary olfactory cortex located in the temporal lobe, is primarily involved in the conscious perception of smell. This area processes the information received from the olfactory bulb to help identify and interpret different odors.
What is the part of my nose that holds your olfactory cells?
The olfactory cells are located in the olfactory epithelium, which is a specialized tissue found in the upper part of the nasal cavity. This area is covered in mucus and contains nerve endings that detect and transmit smells to the brain.
Where is the secondary olfactory cortex located in the brain?
The olfactory cortex is located within the medial temporal lobes.
Where are the olfactory cells found?
Smelling
Olfactory nerve filaments are found?
in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal cavity.

Where the olfactory nerve found?
in the ol' factory
What is the sensory receptors for smell?
The olfactory receptor is found in the nose.
What are nerve cells found in the nose and throat?
olfactory nerve
Where are the olfactory receptors and why is that site poorly suited for their job?
Olfactory receptors are located in the nose, specifically in the olfactory epithelium. This site is poorly suited for their job because it is constantly exposed to external particles and pollutants, which can disrupt the ability of the receptors to accurately detect and interpret smells.
Are the olfactory receptors located in the vestibule of the nose?
No, olfactory receptors are located in the olfactory epithelium, which is on the roof of the nasal cavity, not in the vestibule of the nose. The vestibule of the nose is the entrance part of the nasal cavity where air first enters.
Where is the olfactory region located?
The olfactory is the "sense of smell through your nose. The cerebrum part of the brain, more specifically, the temporal lobe, is where the olfactory/sense of smell is. That is also the part of that controls hearing.
