Ferrari-Carano Mountain Estate Olive Oil

There is an old Italian saying that it takes five ingredients to create the ideal habitat for olive trees: the sun, stone, drought, silence, and solitude. Ferrari-Carano's Mountain Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a true reflection of the mountain terroir from where it originates. This particular olive oil is produced from four types of Italian olive trees, Frantoio, Leccino, Moraioli and Pendolino.

Because olives do not ripen all at once, we hand-pick in the cold months of November and December to ensure quality. The olives are then transported to Sonoma's McEvoy Ranch, a leader in California's olive oil production, where they are cold-processed using an Italian stone mill. The olive oil is unfiltered; resulting is a delicious, vibrant olive oil that is green-gold in color, and fruity in flavor with a touch of spice.

Two of Ferrari-Carano's Olive Oils received the California Olive Oil Council (COOC) Seal Certification award for 2008:

• Ferrari-Carano Tuscan Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Ferrari-Carano Estate Manzanillo Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil
