Mission Monovarietal

Olivina Mission Olive Oil is produced from younger Mission olive trees in Livermore, California, which receive irrigation throughout the growing season. This 2024 harvest yields a distinctive nutty aroma with beautifully balanced pepperiness that delights both the palate and throat. The oil presents a harmonious profile with fresh, green characteristics typical of quality Mission varieties. Perfect for drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, or simply as a finishing oil for Mediterranean dishes.

Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 2
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 2
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 3
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Livermore, 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

Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Mission 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.

Heritage & rarity

Centenarian trees (>100 years)

The oil is associated with fruit from trees listed as more than 100 years old.

Why choose it

Choose it for its connection to agricultural history, old-grove preservation and the relative rarity of fruit from long-lived trees.

Worth knowing

Tree age alone does not guarantee greater complexity, stability or quality.
