Our flagship Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Estate grown and milled on site for the freshest, most delicious oil you will ever taste! Our trees are grown in healthy, living soil on our regenerative farm, and share the earth with a diverse ecosystem of cover crops, wildlife, and a small flock of sheep that graze our orchard year round.

We mill our olives with a goal of quality above all else - we mill at low temperatures for short time to protect the delicate aromas of our oil and the coveted polyphenols that makes our oil a part of a healthy diet.

This oil is grassy, pungent and wildly flavorful. Use on salads, soups, and finishing any dish that needs a burst of flavor.

This year's harvest started in late October, in a more generously irrigated block with nearly all green fruit. This block yielded astounding results that Packed a Pungent Polyphenol Punch - very spicy on the finish - and yet very little bitterness or astringency, which was very much our goal for this block.  The early days of our harvest yielded oil with flavors of green apple and almond, and outstanding and intense aromatic quality.

As we moved through the orchard to blocks with riper fruit and more restricted irrigation, we tasted oils with softer, more rounded fruit qualities but just a touch more of the classic bitter profile common to Tuscan cultivars. We were delighted with flavors of persimmon, banana, and an almost violet floral aroma.

Our final blend this year brings a delightful balance of the punchy oils from the early harvest and the softer oils from later harvest that brought out just a touch of bitterness that results in a very elegant structure to the oil.
