Bozzano Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The Bozzano Olive Ranch really is a ranch, located near Stockton, California, in the San Joaquin Valley. The central valley of California is very much like the Mediterranean in climate and soil quality. These conditions make for great olive oil.

The Bozzano family are 4th generation Italian immigrants. They devote about 45 acres to olives. As with most high-quality extra-virgin olive oils, Bozzano Ranch harvests their olives semi-mechanically. The Bozzano olives are then pressed in a state-of-the-art German Westphalia press. The Westphalia extracts the extra-virgin olive oil without heat so as to preserve the best and most subtle of the flavor characteristics of the oil.

We sell both the Toscana Blend adn the and the Spanish/Italian blend Bozzano calls A2. The California Olive Oil council certifies both as "Extra Virgin" but even better than that, they are wonderful, taste-friendly quality oils (not too bitter, not too peppery) with tons of olive and subtext flavors.

Tasting notes for the 2007 Harvest:

The Bozzano Olive Ranch Toscana Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil uses Frantoio, Leccino, and Pendolino olive varieties. This incredible extra-virgin olive oil is light to medium intensity, light green to yellow in color. The nose on this oil is delicate but complete with distinctive green scents. The taste is buttery, and delicate with excellent overtones of apple, green tea, artichokes, and almonds. This is excellent oil for people who want flavorful oil with classic Tuscan overtones.

The Bozzano Olive Ranch A2 Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a delicate blend of Ascolano and Arbequina olives. This is a medium intensity extra-virgin olive oil, light green to yellow in color, with a full, fruity, and floral nose with distinctive Ascolano olive tones. The taste is of olives with overtones of coconut, apricot honeysuckle. The finish is long and multi flavored. There are no organaleptic flaws in this fabulous oils, and you know how much we hate organaleptic flaws in our olive oils!
