Extra Virgin Olive Oil: California Organic

California Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from American Vinegar Works is cold-pressed from organic olives at a single family estate, blended from two complementary cultivars for balance. Expect a fresh, grassy nose, a rich mouthfeel, and a mild flavor that finishes with a small peppery wink, the kind of finishing oil that makes produce and vinegars feel dressed, not drowned.
