On a small olive
grove in Oroville, with a small olive press purchased from Italy, the
Giannecchini family began to press olive oil, for their family’s personal use
and to share with friends. It was only natural, since olive oil has always been
a main ingredient in the Giannecchini kitchen, passed down from their Tuscan
heritage. Franco’s boyhood experiences in Italy, working at his uncle’s olive
grove, gave him the knowledge to only pick enough olives that could be pressed
at one time. Careful processing of the oil and timely pressing produced a
wonderfully subtle buttery flavor extra virgin olive oil that surpassed the
quality of any other imported olive oil his family and friends had tasted. With
rave reviews from all who tasted it and the desire of many to have it, Franco
decided to purchase a 12 acre olive grove and turn his once hobby into a small
business.
Sunset Olive Grove extra virgin olive oil is “solely from the fruit of the olive
tree” and its high quality meets and exceeds the standards set by the California
Olive Oil Council, which certifies it to be “extra virgin olive oil”. Limited
production allows the Giannecchini family to control the quality of the olive
oil to be consistently flavorful and versatile. It is great for sautéing foods;
it can be used in baking recipes, as a finishing oil and the flavored oils are
wonderful for dipping.
Sunset Olive Grove extra virgin olive oil is truly a product of family tradition
and pride. The Giannecchini family is very proud to offer their olive oil to you
and your family and is confident it will become the olive oil of choice in your
kitchen that everyone loves.
