This rare and elegant extra virgin olive oil features a supple and floral flavour profile with tasting notes of ripe stone fruit, tropical blossom, and a savoury, aromatic finish, offering a beautifully round and luscious mouth feel. Crafted from the Taggiasca olive variety grown in volcanic soils of Suisun Valley by Albert Katz, it undergoes a late harvest in January to allow full maturity, followed by same-day milling at Frantoio Grove's press in a single variety, single day batch process. Ideal for pairing with fresh cheeses, green salads, or roasted vegetables to enhance their natural flavours, this small batch seasonal release of just 40 gallons indicates exceptional terroir and production.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Suisun Valley, California, United States.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originSuisun Valley, California, United States
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being milled at the producing estate or farm.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationProcessed on-site
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Taggiasca as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.

Release dataTaggiasca
Farming & certification

Growing choices

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing

Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
