Silverado’s Soda Creek Ranch 2007 Olive Oil was again a gold medal winner in recent competition - Best of Class.Both maturity and youthfulness are pivotal factors in olive oil. The age of the trees is important; those at least 10 years old produce oils that are bit smoother, rounder, and more balanced. Some California olive oils may seem somewhat tannic, peppery, sharper, and fruitier than European oils, due to the age of the trees. Our Soda Creek Ranch is blessed with trees planted over 100 years ago, varieties of Mission, Pi-choline, Santagetese, and Manzanillo.
