About Us

For the past three years, we have embarked on an intense learning curve. After a couple of years of negotiations, we purchased the ranch in 2003 expecting to begin to press a few olives but to send most of our fruit to the cannery to make plump, juicy, table olives. Growers will tell you that that was the year the cannery quit buying California fruit for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was a glut of cheaper, imported olives from Espania.

Thus, left with many tons of beautiful fruit, we went directly into pressing our fruit for oil. What we have learned, we want to impart to our customers. Questions such as, how is the oil made? What are the health benefits? What is the history of this commodity? How do these products compare with imported oils? How does TraderJoe�scompare? How is this oil different? (We answered this one already!) Go to the About section for answers to these questions and more!
