Our Olive Oil

Rooted in Italian craftsmanship with a bold Californian approach. Our delicious early harvest olive oil is high in antioxidants and has powerful properties that are shown to reduce inflammation, improve blood pressure, provide anti-aging benefits, and much more. 

OUR EXTRA VIRING OLIVE OILS 

Organic Olio Nuovo is only available for a few short months following the autumn harvest. Unique and seasonal, this olive oil is coveted by cooking enthusiasts and olive oil lovers alike. Olio Nuovo (Italian for “new oil”) is the freshest olive oil available, intended to be enjoyed immediately.  

Organic Limited Edition Extra Virgin Olive OiI is a reserve oil released in the late spring with the blend changing depending on that season's harvest. Each year, our Mill Master, Rigo Olivares, identifies certain olive orchards that hold particular promise and they are designated for our Certified Organic Limited Edition EVOO.

OUR AGRUMATO METHOD OLIVE OILS 

We honor the traditional practices of olive oil farming and production. We employ the Agrumato Method where we simultaneously crush olives with fresh herbs and fruits together for exceptional flavor, distinct aromatics, and a crispness you can’t find elsewhere.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SKINK ON THE LABEL

Nan McEvoy’s grandchildren spent countless hours at the Ranch looking for native lizards. The most sought after and cherished was the Western Skink. Her grandchildren's love of the Ranch’s wildlife inspired Nan to put the lizard on the original olive oil labels, where they remain to this day. The skink is a celebration of the childlike wonder that the Ranch inspires in so many, and an homage to these wonderful critters that inhabit it.

A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

We are proud to be members of organizations that help ensure quality, provenance, and organic farming standards in the production of olive oil.

California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF): We have been farming organically since 1990 here at McEvoy Ranch. Our orchards, vineyards, and gardens are tended with organically-approved methods and materials and are inspected yearly. Our Frantoio, or olive mill, is also operated organically so that nothing but the cleanest, healthiest olive oil emerges for you and your family to enjoy.

Olive Oil Commission of California (OOCC): This CDFA-mandated organization oversees sampling and testing of olive oil for all of California’s large olive oil producers to ensure that all California olive oil is labeled properly. The OOCC’s Extra Virgin standards are some of the strictest in the world; this report shows how the OOCC has had a positive impact on the industry.

Extra Virgin Alliance (EVA): This group of like-minded olive oil producers from around the world is committed to making and selling the finest-quality olive oil possible and selling it at its freshest. Our membership in EVA is voluntary and admittance is based upon meeting strict standards for Extra Virgin production
