Description

~ We’ve pioneered new ways of growing and pressing olives in order to make our extra virgin olive oil premium and affordable. ~

And we’ll continue combining new ways of doing things with time-honored agrarian wisdom in order to ensure as many people as possible get to experience the transformative power of great olive oil. 

Sustainability:

We’re California farmers with a strong connection to the land. We’ll happily admit it: we love what we do. So naturally, we work hard every day to make the highest quality extra virgin olive oil accessible to as many people as possible.

We believe that taking care of the Earth’s resources is the right thing to do – and leads to better olive oil. We mulch our fields with tree trimmings, reuse all of the water that enters our mill, offer our leftover olive pits to other farms and use recyclable packaging.
