Why We Love It

• The perfect go-to for everyday cooking, our extra-virgin olive oil is made from 100% California-grown late-harvest Arbequina olives and cold-pressed to preserve the fruit's smooth and subtle character. We chose it as our house oil for its extraordinary quality and taste – smooth and buttery, with a light peppery finish. Use this versatile oil in salad dressings and marinades, and for roasting, baking, finishing and drizzling.
