View release history

A carefully curated blend of Taggiasca, Favolosa, Don Carlo, and Frantoio olive varieties, this extra virgin olive oil delivers a beautifully balanced flavor profile with layers of richness, vibrant fruit notes, and a lingering peppery finish. Harvested between November 6 and December 10 at Rock Hill Ranch in Suisun Valley and milled within four hours at Frantoio Grove to preserve delicate aromatics and structure, it captures the nuance of late fall fruit at peak freshness. Versatile for professional kitchens, it's ideal for sautéing greens, finishing seafood, drizzling over grilled vegetables and legumes, or enhancing salad dressings and fresh cheeses with its green fruit character and elegant depth.
