Product Description

This year's olive oil is bold and asserive, and a Gold medal winner at the 2007 Yolo County Olive Oil Tasting. Reflective of the Tuscan roots - now with some added Sicilian ones, the olive oil is a a deep green color with a nose of grass and green olive. The olive oil is smooth and silky on the lips; its flavors run deep with ripe and green fruit. It rolls through these flavors with hint of olive sweetness, and without any touch of bitterness usually associated with "green" Tuscans - I attribute this to the addition of the Belice di Nocellara, a varietal from western Sicily. It has tha marvelous peppery and pungent finish that is expected of such youthful and fresh olive oil. 2006 GOLD MEDAL WINNER and Four-Time Gold Medal Winner at the Los Angeles County Fair's Olive Oils of the World Competition. 2006 GOLD MEDAL WINNER YOLO COUNTY FAIR and SAN DIEGO WINE & FOOD COMPETITION Storm Olive Ranch Estate extra virgin olive oil comes from an historic property located in a remote area on the eastern slopes of the Napa Valley. In 1992, owner Bonnie Storm armed with a dream of producing great olive oil, purchased this 130-year-old cattle and dairy ranch. This area, known as Pope Valley, remains rugged and generally unsettled. Due to its reputation for being hotter, drier and colder than the bucolic valley floor, it provides the perfect stressful climate in which olive trees are known to thrive. In 1994, unaware that her family had a history in olive oil production, Bonnie planted the 1,000 olive trees she had imported from Italy. She was astonished to find the ancestral connection that her German great grandfather settled in California in 1850 and supported himself by planting olive trees and making olive oil. All of the olives are pesticide-free and pressed at a local frantoio (olive mill) within 24 hours of picking. Bonnie Storm is proud to release the extra virgin olive oil from those trees planted on her ranch in Pope Valley.
