This exceptional extra virgin olive oil is crafted from Spanish Arbosana olives grown on the family's ranch in Templeton, California. The oil displays a distinctive flavour profile with prominent green tea notes balanced by nutty and woody undertones, culminating in a robust, peppery finish. Meticulously cared for from tree to bottle, this single-varietal oil represents the family's commitment to quality California olive oil production. Perfect for salads, dipping, marinating, or cooking, it offers versatility and authentic Mediterranean character.

As of May 10, 2026, while this may have been organic in the past, the certified-organic status of this oil is no longer confirmed by CCOF.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 5
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 4
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 4
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 5
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.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Templeton, California, United States, giving it a specific farm origin.

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 originTempleton, California, United StatesSingle estate
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Arbosana 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.
