"[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
