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.
Along with its fruity tones, pleasant olive bitterness, and buttery, silk-like quality,
Oregon Olive Oil adds a layer of complex depth and perfection to the otherwise ordinary!
Specialty foods, like olive oil, wildflower honey, nuts, beef jerky, hummus, and pickled asparagus, from the Yocha Dene Wintun Nation. In our native Patwin language, ‘Séka’ means ‘blue,’ and in selecting Séka Hills as the name for our line of premium tribal products, we honor the blue hills that overlook our homeland in Northern California’s Capay Valley. For thousands of years, our people have lived in the oak forests, rolling hills and grasslands of Northern California’s Capay Valley, tending the natural resources and the land that is home to our culture, history, and traditions. Our Tribe is known as the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, meaning “Home by the Spring Water.” As we strive to preserve our language and the legacy of our ancestors, we continue to grow as a people and tend this fertile valley that is home to our culture, history and tradition.
