The love and lore of olive oil dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations traded it along the Silk Road, kings were crowned by it and, like wine, it illuminated life over the centuries. Similarly to wine, olive oil’s quality and taste are influenced by geographic factors, timing of the harvest, types of varieties/cultivars, and the good care of growers and producers.
Darioush has worked closely with several olive orchards in California's Yolo and Placer counties to produce fresh, expressive and aromatic olive oils. As with the grapes we grow and vines we tend, our olive farmers are committed to respect and care for the land.
