Ojai Olive Oil is located on the Asquith Ranch, in the east end of Southern California’s stunning Ojai Valley. Ojai is a remarkable place, with a community every bit as rich and diverse as its natural surroundings. It has become a gathering place for farmers, artists, healers and a sanctuary for those seeking a more peaceful and harmonious existence for themselves and their families.
The Mediterranean climate here is perfect for a wide range of agriculture, and happens to be particularly good for olives. The main grove on our ranch was planted by Spanish missionaries in the 1880s, back when there was a communal olive press in the valley. At that time the valley produced a significant quantity of olive oil, and the trees thrived here. There suitability to the Ojai climate is evident in the fact that the trees on our ranch have survived here for over a century, without much of any care. Through droughts, wildfires, and storms, the olive trees have persisted. Our Signature Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from these old Spanish trees, a Lechin de Sevilla varietal that produces a wonderfully robust and peppery olive oil.
