Imperial California Olive Mill

Grow

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.

Harvest

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.

Mill

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!
