With roots in the desert of Southern California, Imperial California Olive Mill is owned and operated by four generations of family farmers. From our olive groves within our lemon and date orchards, to our State of the art Mill, we have proudly produced this fresh and locally grown Extra Virgin Olive Oil. From our farm to your table, Bon Appetite!
Here in the Imperial Valley Desert, we farm a variety of olives along the lower Colorado River Basin.
Our frost free winters and hot summers create perfect growing conditions for California’s Finest Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
We drip irrigate, use little or no pesticides, and mechanically harvest for sustainability.
Each year in November, fully mature fruit is mechanically harvested allowing same day delivery to our mill for immediate processing.
Our Arbequina, Arbosana, and Koroneiki varieties are kept in separate bins to be processed and stored individually for their unique flavors.
At the mill we wash the olives, grind them (pits, skins and all) to capture all the polyphenols and antioxidants for the finished oil and gently turn the paste to allow the oil and water to separate from the pomace. We then use a centrifuge to polish the oil before storing in stainless steel tanks for racking.
Imperial California Olive Mill artfully crafts “California’s Finest” Extra Virgin Olive Oil…from our farm to your table. Bon Appetit!
