Our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil has earned 8 gold medals plus 2 Best of Class, from various competitions, including the prestigious Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition. Peppery and delicious, our Tuscan blend oil is robust with intense olive fruit flavor.
The Trees
In 2001, we planted our first field. We planted our second in 2003. Now, 1,800 trees are planted on the peaceful slopes of our Sonoma County farm. We often hold our evening meditations in the beautiful, peaceful groves. Many of our olive trees have been dedicated by our friends in memory or in honor of loved ones. Thus, our olive trees are loved and blessed by many hearts and hands.
The nuns in the ancient Tuscan monastery of Valserena, in Italy, considered to have the finest olive oil in the Cistercian Order of monks and nuns, suggested this blend to us. “Treat your olive trees like children,” the abbess directed. And we do. We pressed the first oil for ourselves in 2006.
