Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Grove Blend

About the producer

Every now and then we come across a farm product that is true to the old-school philosophy of producing slow food, where variety, taste and quality outweigh quantity and convenience - we love that! Meet Susan Ellsworth and Colin Dixon of Flatlands Oil & Mill, a wife and husband duo that are bucking the agricultural trend to go big on acreage and small on olive varieties. In fact, they are going in the opposite direction, continuing the tradition of organically farming and milling their own olive oil, alongside their mentors and friends, Mike and Dianne of Yolo Press. Their grove includes sixteen varieties of olives, a wide range of perennial and annual crops, hedgerows and an active habitat that help to promote a healthy and diverse ecosystem for their orchard. These olive trees require few fertilizers and minimal pest management, which make them an ideal crop for sustainable farming. Flatlands believes in getting oil to their customers that is as fresh as it can be. That's why each bottle is marked with the harvest date and best when stored in a cool, dark place.
