California olive oil is some of the best around. We lead the nation in olive and olive oil production. Nearly 99% of US olive oil is produced in California. California olive oils are consistently ranked as being some of the most flavorful in the world and are a great addition to any recipe or meal.
Many olive oils are infused with herbs or fruits or mixed with wines and balsamic vinegar to create unique blends for cooking and dipping. You can be assured that olive oil offered at your farmers' market is locally-grown and locally-produced pure olive oil from California.

Store
Store olive oil in an airtight container away from the light in a cool place, such as in a cupboard. If stored in the refrigerator, olive oil will become cloudy and eventually solidify. If this happens, let the olive oil come to room temperature and it will become clear and pourable again. The quality and flavor of the olive oil will not be affected.
