Since the 1990s, Jordan Winery has strived to craft the best, pure olive oil in Sonoma County, California, that honors the extra virgin olive oil making traditions of Italy and Spain. This new olive oil gift box is the perfect gift for those who love to cook.

The 2016 Jordan Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil has attractive aromas of fresh-cut grass, green almonds and green banana peel with a lovely citrus note. The palate is round and buttery from the Arbequina with flavors of apples, almonds, artichoke and black pepper that carry through the deliciously smooth finish. In terms of the fruit-to-bitterness ratio, 2016 Jordan Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the most balanced, pure olive oil we've produced.

During harvest, fruit was either handpicked in the Italian brucatura tradition or shaken into special nets. Each variety of olive was kept separate from harvesting through processing to allow all four oils to fully express themselves before any blending decisions occurred. Respecting certified extra virgin olive oil standards, the olives were milled within 24 hours of harvest, and the oil was never filtered or heated during the milling process. A master blending session was conducted during winter before the single-varietal oils were combined, resulting in a silky-smooth combination of 32% Frantoio, 28% Leccino, 20% Arbequina and 20% Pendolino. After resting in our cellars for four months, the 2016 vintage was bottled and labeled by our winemaking staff.
