This Olive Oil is the stuff of legends.
It is grown and made by Philip Aquith, a fourth generation Olive farmer in Ojai, California, where thousands of gnarled, centuries-old trees grow. Here, the Olives are picked by hand and pressed immediately to ensure critical freshness and rich, 385 mg/kg polyphenol content. The fresh blend, milled this past November, includes tree varieties that are virtually impossible to find in the US — such as Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, and Arbequina. Resulting in a vivid green Oil with vibrant, peppery notes balanced by softer fruit, and a high smoke point that’s perfect for dipping, finishing, roasting, and baking.

Sourcing:
Flamingo Estate Olives are grown on a multi-generational family-run farm, and are hand-selected at peak ripeness then pressed immediately to ensure critical freshness. This farm operates with organic, sustainable and biodynamic principles, honoring the link between people, the land, and the community. The paste from pressing Olives is turned into natural compost tea to fertilize the trees and benefit pollinators. They also irrigate their groves with water from their pond, which is rich in soil-beneficial micro-organisms.
