Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is of the Tuscan varietals grown in California. The olives, handpicked at our grove in view of the Templeton Gap, are processed less than 24 hours after harvest.

Our first harvest was November 2005. We harvested 1800 lbs of olives resulting in 42 gallons of extra virgin olive oil. The olive oil won a silver medal at the Los Angeles County Fair International Extra Virgin Olive Oil competition.
Due to weather conditions our 2006 and 2007 harvests were small and quickly sold out.
We are looking forward to a bountiful harvest this year. Please check back with us for more information on this year's extra virgin olive oil which will be available March 2009.

Tuscali Olive Grove is located on the Central Coast of California near the town of Templeton. Our first planting of 450 trees in 2001 consisted of Leccino, Frantoio, Maurino and Pendolino trees. In 2005 we planted 250 Moraiolo and 50 Frantoio trees. These are the trees grown in the Tuscany area of Italy. Thus, we have named our olive oil "Tuscali" which is a combination of Tuscany and California.
