Oregon River Ranch Olive Oil
River Ranch cultivates both Arbequina and Arbosana varieties of olives in well-tended groves nestled along the banks of the North Umpqua River in Glide, Oregon. These cold-tolerant varieties have superb olive oil attributes and exceptional flavor. The Mediterranean-like micro climate of the area provides ideal growing conditions, while thrifty watering during the growing season increases the healthful polyphenol levels in the fruit.
After months of careful tending we harvest early by hand, when not only taste but polyphenol levels, too, are at their height – and get them to press without delay. Although harvesting at this rather early stage of ripening means less oil is extracted, by doing so we produce a higher quality ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil.
Rest assured River Ranch will never mix its premium, completely Oregon-grown olive oil with other “sourced” oils, as many of our competitors do. A true gourmet boutique Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Oregon Olive Oil has a rich, buttery texture, peppery finish, and lingering pungency.
