Olivas de Oro Olive Company

Dedicated to producing only the finest extra virgin olive oil, Frank Menacho personally manages every detail that goes into creating this distinctive California extra virgin olive oil. Our oils are all estate and sustainably grown. Our extra virgin olive oils are certified "extra virgin" by the California Olive Oil Council (COOC). Ideal Growing Conditions The oil begins with olives sustainably grown on the Menacho's Olivas de Oro 160-acre estate situated in Central California. The long hot days and cool nights provide the perfect Mediterranean climate for the 112-year-old trees. Cold Pressing Process Mission, Arbequina and Sevillano olive cultivars are harvested early in the season. This is when olives have the maximum aroma and minimum acidity. They are immediately pressed under traditional granite millstones. The Mission Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil is hand blended by the Menachos from the Mission, Arbequina and Sevillano cultivars resulting in a full-bodied unfiltered oil with an olive fruity aroma, herbaceous tones, tomato leaf and a peppery finish. This oil has won many medals from 2005 to 2014. We also produce a superior Meyer Lemon Olive Oil, Basil Olive Oil and Garlic Olive Oil. Our flavored oils are not infused; they are produced by cold pressing the herb or citrus with the olives during the first press. Each flavor oil always places gold, silver, bronze, or best in show from competitions from 2005 to 2015.
