This Hojiblanca extra virgin olive oil, made from carefully selected Hojiblanca olives, offers medium robustness and astringency with a balanced flavour profile of herbaceousness, green almond, artichoke, green and ripe olives, floral notes, and nuttiness, culminating in a warm ginger finish. As the mildest oil in the collection, it is ideal for everyday use in light dressings, fresh salads, or drizzled over mild cheeses and vegetables to subtly enhance their natural flavours.

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.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Capay 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 originCapay Valley, California, United States
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Hojiblanca 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.
