How it does good

Defying convention, perfecting tradition

• 

  low carbon footprint

  California Olive Ranch boasts a zero-waste production process, using the water extracted during the oil-making process to irrigate olive trees that are still growing. What they don’t use in their oil, like tree trimmings, skins, and pits, they use as fertilizer or feed for Californian cattle farmers.
• 

  responsible sourcing

  With their drip irrigation system, solar-powered by the California sun, California Olive Ranch cuts down on evaporation, so their olives are hydrated without wasting water. They choose olives with natural defenses against fruit flies and supplement these with pheromone traps and predator-encouraging owl boxes.
• 

  recyclable packaging

  Whether your oil comes in a gorgeous glass bottle or a practical plastic one, you can rest easy, knowing it’s BPA free and fully recyclable.
