What others are saying about us

Chosen as outstanding by November 2005 Food and Wine Magazine.

Chosen in the top 10 olive oils of the world by Der Feinschmecker Magazine 2006 (The Food and Wine of Germany. We came out ahead of over 600 European oils.)

"[One of] my favorite California olive oil producers."
- Georgeanne Brennan, Metropolitan Home

"The artisans at Apollo Olive Oils honor their craft from orchard to press and bring the nuances of both the different varietals and the diversity of the terroir that most other olive oil producers do not achieve. These oils have the diversity to be either the focal point of the dish or utilized to embellish the ingredients with which they are paired. Apollo olive oil products are as ethereal as the God they were named for."
- Executive Chef of The Lodge at Pebble Beach, Jeff Jake

"Apollo provides the best of all worlds, a small operation feel...offering a wide variety of products."
- Sierra Heritage

"I would like to thank you for introducing me to Apollo Olive Oils. In my cookbook, "Spanish Doors, Dishes, and Dreams" the majority of the recipes call for olive oil. In Spain it is unheard of to cook without olive oil. In the process of writing the cookbook, I prepared every dish that appears in the book, always making a point of using Spanish olive oil, thinking that there was no comparison. I was wrong. I have changed my opinion after trying Apollo Olive Oil. Now I almost always use Apollo. It is especially tasty on the recipes that call for drizzling olive oil over a dish. It is great in many of the tapas and salad recipes. Thanks again. "
- Francie Martinez Vicondoa, author of "Spanish Doors, Dishes, and Dreams"

"Using Apollo Olive Oil is like starting with a great wine. It invites you to organize the whole meal around it. It will never be just an ingredient. It's freshness, it's complexity and it's aromas--what aromas!-- take recipes to a different, unexpected level."
- Lynne Sanders, Bistro Aix, London

"I find Italian oils far superior to super market brands. Upon tasting your oil it surpassed the Italian oil in taste and body etc. I would recommend Apollo Olive Oil as a superior product."
- Ray Risi, customer

AWARDS

We have received very positive recognition from within the small world of oil producers in the last five years. A gathering of Provencal tasters in Les Baux found us tops among U.S. producers. A Sacramento Bee blind tasting put us on top, by a wide margin, over other California millers and a famous Italian producer. The most important olive oil competition in the New World, the Los Angeles County Fair, has consistently awarded our entries. We have won 12 medals in the past five years.
