Here's why it matters that our Extra Virgin Olive Oils win gold medals...

We want to be judged. That's right-every year after we grow these olives, hand harvest them, and mill them into olive oil, we go the extra step. First, we have them lab tested to confirm they meet California's stringent standards for EVOO, next we certify our oils with California Olive Oil Council (COOC), the preeminent EVOO certifying body in California, and finally we submit them to national and international competitions so they can be tasted by professional olive oil tasters and held up to the competition. We compete with giant olive oil corps and small producers alike and when we win gold, the professional olive oil community has decided that our olive oil is the high quality, delicious olive oil that you should be buying. So yes, we want to be judged. But don't take our word for it, you be the judge. Link in bio to order!

Big business versus small business...
You know how giant companies have complicated machinery to slap millions of labels on their products? Well, small businesses don't. We're old school here. After we make your olive oil, we hand bottle and hand label the finished product. Today is one of our labeling days and this is how it starts. So if you get a bottle of our olive oil and you notice that the label is maybe a little askew, you can tell your friends this is how artisanal olive oil is done🥰 Why does it matter that we hand label our olive oil? It tells you that at every step of the process-from orchard to bottle, an actual human has made sure that what end up in your kitchen is the exactly the highest quality EVOO that you purchased. This is more than quality control. It's about full transparency--you should know who makes your food. We take pride in our olive oil and care about our customers. You support us. You encourage us. You trust us. We couldn't do this without you. Now you know. If you want to be part of a community that supports small businesses like ours, like this post, drop us a comment or a question, share this post...and head to the website and get some olive oil!

This is what farming looks like for us after a little over 10 years. Johnny's got his two pairs of glasses, the ever present heavy duty fire extinguisher, his trusty John Deere and worry lines on his forehead. But he's out there. Watching over the orchard, carefully tending to our olive trees and waiting, trying to figure out what's going to give first-this heat wave or the rains we've been hearing about-- just waiting until it's the perfect time to harvest these olives so we can make another batch of extra virgin olive oil for you. If you are farm-curious and interested in our behind the scenes of our California farming and olive oil life, slap a like on this post, give a follow, save the post so you don't forget us and share it with a friend❤😘❤

If you ever heard your friend utter the words "I made zucchini muffins" and made a direct beeline away from the potluck table, I'm here to change your mind. Rose Levy Berenbaum's Cake Bible as never failed me and this recipe for zucchini muffins will make you a convert. Her secret to elevating zucchini muffins from dense, weird bricks to moist, airy, delicious cake orbs is cake flour and, I think, love. Although I don't always have cake flour on hand, it's easy to make your own your own with AP flour and cornstarch (1 cup flour + 2 tbls cornstarch). In full transparency, I made a couple of changes to this recipe. The recipe calls for seed oil and since you know I'm an extra virgin olive oil gal that's what I used and I think it adds more flavor to the muffins. I also was desperate to use an old mini bundt pan so did that instead of a regular muffin tin. They stuck a little so they weren't pretty but still delicious. And then, because I couldn't help myself I added a drizzle of cream cheese frosting...just 'cause. Writing this makes me realize I sound like a know-it-all from the comments section of the I swear, that's not me:-) Anyhoo, make these zucchini muffins becase they're like little, health-ish cakes.

You deserve transparency from the people who make your food. From the minute we started growing olives and making extra virgin olive oil, Johnny and I have been committed to this idea of food transparency and traceability. This is why you can always find the details about when, where and how our olives were picked and milled, along with the information about our testing and certification process. Certifying our EVOO with the means that we follow California's strict laws that require any olive oil labeled as the highest grade of extra virgin meet certain testing requirements. By law in California, extra virgin olive oil is virgin olive oil that has excellent flavor and zero defects, that meets markers like a verified level of free fatty acid content known as oleic acid which helps lower bad LDL cholesterol. You can check out all of the California laws on olive oil yourself by searching California Health and Safety Code sections 112875 to 112935. We're committed to helping you understand what you're feeding your family. And we think our olive growing, harvesting and milling process make a healthy, delicious EVOO that you can trust. To order olive oil, just go to the link in our bio. Let us know how you like it!

Why is a sharp knife the most important thing in your kitchen? Cooking, like life, is all about having the right tools. Chef Johnny's biggest pet peeve in the kitchen is a dull knife, which counterintuitively (to me anyway) is much more dangerous than a sharp knife. With a dull blade you end up exerting too much pressure which can lead to a nasty mishap. There's a whole ritual to a proper knife sharpening but to keep your knives sharp, it's a good habit to do a quick run over a stone before you start your prep. Now we all just want to know what he's cooking for dinner?! And I can guarantee you, whatever it is will be made with extra virgin olive oil...and love.

How do you know when olives are ready for harvest? The color of the olive and the oil content are what we are looking for. Right now, we walk through our olive orchard every day looking for signs of ripeness on the trees. So far everything from first olive bud to ripening has been weeks ahead of schedule. Today we can see a few olives have turned from green (unripe) to purple. The outside color of the olive is only part of the story--it's only when you cut into the olive that you can see whether it's both ripe and full of oil. To get our signature peppery, fruity olive oil we like to harvest when we see sections of the orchard with fully ripe olives and some with green olives. Using olives at different stages of ripeness gives our olive oil its characteristic pizzaz and flavor. Harvest is still weeks away but it's always fun to see the last year of hard work making its way to the finish line!
