Meet The Coldani Olive Ranch Family Calivirgin Blood
Orange olive oil is milled exactly the same way as our premium extra virgin
olive oil, except fresh blood oranges are crushed together with the olives.
The result is a all natural, unfiltered, premium olive oil with no additives
or preservatives that has a true fresh blood orange flavor. Try this
California olive oil on salmon, salads, winter vegetables and in baking.
Replace the oil in your next chocolate cake or brownie recipe and you will
fall in love with this new combination. Meglio! From Generation to
Generation At Coldani Olive Ranch we are literally a âFamily Businessâ. Our
immediate family along with our spouses and five little ones running around
are what encompasses our family company; handling every aspect from tree to
bottle. Growing the olives, processing them into oil, bottling, packaging
design, marketing, sales and shipping are just a few of the tasks we split up
as a family. When we say we know each and every bottle inside and out, we mean
it, and we feel the passion we have to produce a healthy quality extra virgin
olive oil resonates in our finished product. Our family has been farming in
the Lodi-Delta region of California for over 80 years across four generations.
The majority of our family and sales team happen to be California Polytechnic,
San Luis Obispo graduates. After farming mostly field & row crops such as
tomatoes, corn, onions, and various grains the idea to farm olives derived
from a CalPoly senior project which originally started out as a vineyard
design but quickly became olive groves after the discovery of how well they
would grow in Lodiâs fertile soils which have produced world-class wines for
decades. Sustainable Farming When you mention California to some people they
think of Hollywood, surfing and beaches. When you mention California to our
family we think of farming, great weather, and some of the most fertile soils
in the country. We believe it is important to keep it this way and this is
reflected in our farming techniques. Sustainable and organic farm practices
help us get the most out of the ground and keep an already healthy product
even healthier. Processing water is recycled, and irrigation water is applied
through drip hoses to be as efficient as possible. Tree trimmings are mulched
and integrated back into our soils between the rows. The leftover ground up
olive pits and solids are trucked off and fed to local dairy cows as a high
source of nutrients. At Coldani Olive Ranch we are constantly looking at what
we can change to be more sustainable so in a sense. . .green farming, green
olives, and an awesome golden-green oil is what you are left with! You might
still think of movie stars and Hollywood when you hear California but
hopefully you will also think of California Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil,
and Calivirgin! 350 Awards And Counting... Most Awarded In The USA Olives
are harvested and milled into oil within hours to ensure the highest quality
possible. 104 awards in 2017 but don't take taste panels and trained judges
word for it; we invite you to try a bottle for yourself and let us know what
you think! Our family and a handful of dedicated empolyees live and breathe
this business. Like many craft or specialty food companies the fundamentals
of our business are often topic after work hours and at dinner tables. It is
with great pleasure that we share our hard work with you. We appreciate each
and every customer; if you are ever in Lodi, California stop by and say Hello!
