Sunset Olive Grove Giannecchini Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Information may not be reliable

On a small olive grove in Oroville, with a small olive press purchased from Italy, the Giannecchini family began to press olive oil, for their family’s personal use and to share with friends. It was only natural, since olive oil has always been a main ingredient in the Giannecchini kitchen, passed down from their Tuscan heritage. Franco’s boyhood experiences in Italy, working at his uncle’s olive grove, gave him the knowledge to only pick enough olives that could be pressed at one time. Careful processing of the oil and timely pressing produced a wonderfully subtle buttery flavor extra virgin olive oil that surpassed the quality of any other imported olive oil his family and friends had tasted. With rave reviews from all who tasted it and the desire of many to have it, Franco decided to purchase a 12 acre olive grove and turn his once hobby into a small business.
