Taggiasca High Phenolic Monovarietal

This delicate extra virgin olive oil is crafted from the Italian Taggiasca olive variety, harvested early in November from Woodland, Placer County, California. Cold-pressed within moments of harvest using mobile processing equipment, it delivers a fresh, nuanced flavour profile with distinctive notes of eucalyptus, flowers, artichoke, herbs and green fruits. The oil's exceptional quality is recognised through multiple Best of Show awards at prestigious competitions including the Los Angeles International Olive Oil Competition and California State Fair. Perfect for drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables or as a finishing oil for delicate dishes.

Oil Character

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Phenols & structure

High phenolic

The latest release lists 504.2 mg/kg total phenols.

Why choose it

Higher-phenol oils often suit customers who enjoy assertive bitterness and peppery pungency, and phenols can contribute to oxidative stability.

Worth knowing

A total-phenol result alone does not establish eligibility for a specific regulated health claim.

Reported504.2 mg/kg
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Placer County, California, United States.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originPlacer County, California, United States
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being milled at the producing estate or farm. The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationProcessed on-siteHand picked
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Taggiasca as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
