The Press
Within full view from the Salon Tasting Room, the commercial olive pressing facility(6685+-) is a state-of-the-art operation.

The Land
Set on three separate parcels, the fully mature orchard consists of approximately 9,500 olive trees representing 20 different varietals. Since young olive trees do not yield sizable fruit quantity until after many years of established growth, this unique property with 15 year-old fully mature olive trees is a priceless find. All of the land covered by the olive trees are under the Williamson Act providing substantial property tax advantages. The entire property is deer fenced. .8.
Parcel One: Tuscan Block (3351 Canfield Road) This parcel has a total of 2,000 mature trees, planted in 2001.

These varietals produce the popular Tuscan blend, known worldwide for its substantial, deeply complex flavors, colors and aromatics, which have won Gold, Best of Class and Best of Show Medals. This high density planting of 15 ft. between row by 14 ft. in row, allows for maximum production without sacrificing quality. The open vase scaffold of the olive trees makes it easy for harvest, allowing light penetration for even ripening. Maurino olives were planted as pollinators, laid out every 4th row, every 6th tree, for complete pollination.
