The Mission olive is the oldest variety in California, having arrived with Franciscan padres in the late 18 th century. Like Cabernet or Zinfandel grown in the Sierra Foothills, Mission grown in the Sierras has deeper and more robust flavors than its counterparts in the valley. Our Sierra is made of 70% Mission, with estate-grown French and Spanish varieties blended in for roundness and balance.
Sierra complements heartier dishes, such as stews, soups, ragus and all manner of meat dishes.
