Gold Ridge Organic Farms is located 50 miles northwest of San Francisco in the rolling hills of Sebastopol, where coastal breezes & optimal soils provide ideal growing conditions for 88 acres of olives & apples.
Farmer Brooke Hazen grows our CCOF Certified Organic olives using organic farming methods and then within hours of harvest makes them into four distinct olive oils in our onsite mill.
We are small farmers and stewards of the land. We pride ourselves in creating farm to table oils that are high in healthy antioxidants and polyphenols and are also delicious. Please enjoy them!
Gold Ridge Organic Farms Minerva Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil is 100% Estate Grown and milled right here in Sebastopol. Aromatic and bright with a toasty nose and a suave, sillky mouthfeel, Minerva offers flavors of roasted walnuts and pine nuts, followed by freshly mown hay and whie peppercorns. Highly textured and high in antioxidants. An excellent finishing oil - try drizzling over grilled vegetables or meats, hummus, tapenade, or roasted winter squash. Pair with pasta, swirl over pesto, or enjoy in robust autumn and winter salads. Medium bodied, medium pungent.
