Welcome to Gold Hill Olive Oil Company!
Born in Italy, my grandparents retired to this ranch in 1971. I
like to think they would find a lot to remind them of the Old
Country if they were here today. While the varietal names of the
fourteen hundred olive trees aren’t yet as familiar as the names
of varietal wines, their names roll off the tongue like the
finest extra virgin oils they produce - Frantoio - Leccino -
Lucca - San Felice – Itrana -Mission - Pendolino – Piqual -
Coratina - Taggiasca - Casaliva. They are known for growing well
at high altitudes and most originate in the Tuscany region of
Italy.
Just as wineries pour their finest wines for tasting, we offer
tasting of our best olive oils, extra-virgin or blended. The
tasting room was originally a barn or storage area underneath
living quarters and a stonemason has dated the rockwork as
having been built in the 1860’s. We renovated it in 2001 and
welcome visitors to come taste a bit of history at Gold Hill
Olive Oil Company as we pour Northern California extra virgin
olive oil.
