We offer select varietal Sweet Mission 2025 2025 Harvest Around 1920 Sicilian immigrants began planting seeds harvested from the original mission olives planted by the Spanish Missionaries. Some of the seeds were from one hundred year old trees. Most of those early groves were abandoned but one Mill remains in the Modesto area of Central California. Beginning in Mid April of this year (2025) the oil from this original grove will be available. Hand picking the first harvest of the olives in October of 2024 results in a second crop of the Mission Olives. Availability depends on the yield but the oil is usually available for about 2 months. The oil has a sweet buttery flavor and is a finishing oil or dressing due to the low polyphenol count. The higher the poly count the better the oil holds up to the heat of the oven or pan frying. Normal single varietal poly count is 350 with some ranging into the high six hundred. The Mission is in the low 200’s. Available only in 500 mililiter (16.9 oz.) bottles, the cost is $50.00 with a two bottle minimum on the website. Also available in Los Angeles at the Studio City Farmers Market on Sunday.

Taken from the Italian method of adding either herbs, citrus, or peppers along with California Mission Olives from that years harvest.
Using the California Mission Olives gives the oil a grassy complex flavor profile that enhances the Agrumato immeasurably’ The olives and the additional ingredients are minced together and are NOT a flavoring added after the olive oil has been made. This method marries the ingredients and produces a flavored oil that tastes like the herb or citrus or pepper.
Jalapeño tastes distinctly like a jalapeño, ditto the habanero.
The rosemary, basil, and shallot have the distinct flavor of each of the herbs.
The Italian Herb blend is parsley, basil, and oregano.
These flavorful oils, added to a salad or used as a finishing oil over steamed or grilled vegetables, meat, fish and fowl turns a simple dish into something special.
Dried Chipotle Peppers, both the CHIPOTLE MECO (these are the large dried Red Jalapeños from Mexico smoked in Mesquite wood), and the smaller dried jalapeños called MORITA. The Morita are the blemished peppers that are culled out and are the peppers found in Chipotle in Adobo Sauce. The Meco is a medium heat Chile prized for its earthy smoked flavor while the Morita are smaller and darker in color and much hotter than the Meco. We take a blend of these two peppers and STEEP them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This slower process of soaking the peppers whole instead of grinding them up imparts a delicate smoke flavor with a tinge of heat. As Cousin Jimmie always sez “it’s easy to make things hot, its hard to make them taste good”
Scramble eggs, stir fry, bake vegetables, use in place of generic vegetable oil in baking bread, salad dressing. As with all our products the uses are endless.
Lemony, Minty, Peppery, with Eucalyptus undertones.
Use it to make a paste with raw garlic, crushed white peppercorns, and basil.
Then slather on a blackened tomahawk steak.
Not for the faint of heart.
