Healthful and Beautiful

We all know the the olive tree supplies us with healthful olives during harvest but it is equally important in the simple everyday moments of the growing season. There is something very peaceful about a well maintained traditional olive orchard. Italian landscape architect, Alice Collantoni, says that olive trees have become the most requested tree for her country home designs. They are evergreens that provide shade all year long that require comparatively little maintenance. Their gnarled trunks seem to echo our own lives where we convert our daily struggles into a healthy beauty. We connect to the olive tree because it gives us so much in all areas of life and asks for very little. Experiencing the beauty of the olive tree is one of the many reasons why we love what we do.

Sierra is the Best of USA

Our Sierra was one of only five oils to receive an Honorable Mention for Excellence at the international Japanese Olive Oil Price competition, jooprize.com, and was also selected as BEST of USA. We’re thrilled because this competition has a very high bar – the tasting panel is composed of world renowned olive oil experts, and every judge tastes every oil – so the examination for quality is very rigorous indeed.
