Boccabella Farms

Boccabella Farms Award winning California Extra Virgin Olive Oil made by a chef and a former city girl. ❤️ Choosing an olive oil is like choosing your favorite wine. Local farm.

Boccabella's 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a locals favorite on the Central Coast. Owned by a chef and a former City girl, Boccabella makes killer olive oil from olives grown with love. Olives are harvested at the peak of perfection, and those little guys are pressed into an unctuous, delicious extra virgin olive oil. You have to taste it, savor it and appreciate it. Then, you pick what you like.

Boccabella offers two unique oils—a 100% Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, which is peppery, spicy and grassy, and a Field Blend extra virgin olive oil, a combination of Spanish and Italian varietals that is rich, buttery and fruity. Local peeps. Delish olive oil. No pesticides or other funkiness.

WHAT IS THE BEST CALIFORNIA EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL?
These days everyone has an opinion about how to find the best extra virgin olive oil. But here’s the insider’s perspective-serious olive oil producers submit their olive oils to prestigious olive oil competitions where their olive oils are judged by professional olive oil taste panels. This can level the playing field between giant olive oil behemoths and small producers (like us) because at the end of the day-it’s all about how your olive oil tastes. Judges score based on the three main criteria for extra virginity- fruitiness, bitterness and pungency and evaluate if the flavors in an olive oil are balanced and clean on the palate. That’s what makes a gold medal winning olive oil. We submit our olive oils to the New York International Olive Oil Competition each year and this year came back with a gold medal for each of our oils. The Olive Oil Times World Olive Oil Ranking currently ranks our extra virgin olive oil as #26 IN…THE… WORLD…

For our small farm, this is a huge accomplishment of which we are truly proud. But the biggest hurdle we face is not making the best California Extra Virgin Olive Oil, it’s getting the word out to all of you and encouraging you to go to the website and add a bottle to your cart to taste for yourself. If you want to help our small farm succeed, LIKE, FOLLOW, AND SHARE this post and help us spread the word. And yes, please, please click through to the website: boccabellafarms.com and let us ship you a bottle of our award winning extra virgin olive oil.

For this momentous holiday called we present our fearless, tiny terrier mix (he was a rescue so really, who knows?) Solomon Horatio Finckelstein aka Solly. Although he has acres of farm to explore, he's happiest when he's napping with at least six of his toys. And yes, we know they make dog toys specially for small doggies but he likes his toys to be roughly his same size. Go figure. This is a rare snap of him in his actual dog bed instead of his preferred locale of repose in the giant human bed.

Everyone is asking for more olive orchard updates and juicy tidbits on the behind the scenes of farming so here you go. Here’s a little bit of how farming is weird sometimes and nature makes really cool stuff. Also just trying to give you a little background on what it actually takes to grow olives in California and make olive oil. What brings you joy? This is what does it for us and it’s just one piece of how our olive oil gets from our farm to your table.

Today’s garden haul-cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini (so many zucchini this year), bell peppers, and ripe, luscious figs. If your favorite summer hobby is tooling around your garden in an unflattering hat watching the hour by hour progress of that one cucumber flower forming a tiny cucumber, playing a garden version of where’s Waldo scanning your tomato plants for the insidious tomato worm, then we’re going to be friends. Gardening isn’t about the size of the haul or bragging rights, it’s about finding pleasure and happiness in the little details-the fact that bees and ladybugs have come to give your garden their seal of approval, watching stuff grow that you planted with your own two hands and tasting a perfectly ripe tomato, still warm from the sun. It’s low tech, it’s back to basics, there are no “hacks”-it’s just you figuring it all out and enjoying every minute of it.

When Johnny left his life as a Bay Area chef to become a farmer and start making olive oil, he didn’t know how important his culinary training would become in crafting extra virgin olive oil. Now, his recipes are all focused on teaching people how to use olive oil as an ingredient that makes whatever you’re cooking pop. For him, there is a correct way to do even the simplest task in the kitchen-even if no one will ever notice. Here he’s making a simple salad with an olive oil and fresh orange juice vinaigrette with segmented oranges as garnish. This is his process. As he always says- if you prepare your food with love, it’s gonna taste better.

On those days when it’s too hot outside to cook, a simple salad just hits. Skip the bottled dressings and make your own flavorful, healthy vinaigrette using 2 parts of your best extra virgin olive oil (we recommend our Arbequina EVOO here) + 1 part acid-vinegar or lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt. Chef’s kiss. This is also a great way to make sure you’re getting all the heath benefits that come in just 1 tablespoon of real EVOO. Maybe there are times you really just have to have some ranch dressing, but in our humble opinion-save it for those wings. Dress your salad in elegance. And yes, splurging on the good stuff might seem extravagant but you definitely deserve it.

This is why I spend all my free time in my garden. Maybe my ultimate harvest won’t be exactly what I imagined but, in the end, it doesn’t matter. When I have bees and ladybugs feasting, I’ve done something that feels so satisfying-like I’ve truly accomplished something. Open to hear your gardening stories😘

Apparently, social media is calling today "relaxation day" so here you go. A calming snap of one of our olive trees during another epic summer sunset. You can say what you will about California, but at the end of the day the beauty of this place will always pull you back.
