In the news! Holman Ranch Olive Oil For more than 5 years, Holman Ranch has cultivated a distinctive olive grove located on a south facing hill in their Carmel Valley vineyard. The grove is comprised of 100 trees with multiple Tuscan, Spanish and French species planted. These species consist of 25 Frantoio, 25 Leccino, 10 Mission, 25 Coratina, 5 Pendolino, 10 Picholine. Holman Ranch harvests it fruit by hand in December, which is then milled, producing a superb, high quality product. Although the olive grove is not certified organic, the trees are farmed sustainably. An interesting fact is that olive trees are alternate bearing, which means that one year they may produce 180 gallons worth of oil, while next year they may produce only 10 gallons worth oil. The certified EVOO is estate-grown and bottled from Holman Ranch’s 100 Tuscan, Spanish and French varietal olive trees. The olive oil comes in 375 ML/12.6 FL. OZ bottles and costs $25.00 per bottle, and is available at the tasting room in Carmel Valley Village. thecalifornian/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2014304210005
