Thank you so much for the feedback Sierra! We're very passionate about our olive oil. The olives are grown, pressed, and bottled all on our farm in Sicily (many olive oils are made with olives that have been shipped all over before being pressed), allowing us to ensure the highest quality EVOO available that's pressed within hours of harvest.
