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!
Our 2023 Harvest Minerva Blend is 100% Estate Grown and milled at our Sonoma County farm. It shows sultry and woody nuances with subtle aromatic hints of delicate fig and raw walnut. It is a foodie favorite. Flavors of artichoke and green banana; toasted walnut, matcha green tea, and a bright white pepper finish. Medium-bodied and medium pungency.
High in antioxidants, this is a great finishing and dipping oil that will bring complex flavors to grilled or raw veggies, hummus, tapenade, and cured meats. Pair with pasta, pesto, or enjoy in salads for an extra lift of flavor. An Italian blend of Minerva, Frantoio and Maurino olives with a touch of Cerasoula and Ladoelia.
The 2023 Harvest Minerva olive oil is grown and milled at Gold Ridge Organic Farms in Sebastopol and it is CCOF Certified Organic.
