We are sorry to say, KATZ Rock Hill Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil will not be available for 2021! There was a virtual crop failure on the Ranch and sadly there was no harvest. Mother Nature, as always, had the last say and the combination of climate change and the alternate bearing nature of olive trees left us without fruit to make this oil. We look forward to producing this offering again for 2022!

These accolades along with 15 other gold medals during that time speak to the consistency and quality that sets this oil apart.

It compliments simple fish, poultry and vegetable dishes, livens up your summer pestos and aiolis, adds a punch to your chicken or minestrone soup, or makes a tasty dressing for arugula or spinach salads...be inspired!
The story of Rock Hill Ranch is all about a sense of "place"...where daily we go about the work of sustainable agriculture. Whether that is tending to our olive groves, or spending time in the Carriage House crafting our vinegar, it is our unbroken commitment to small-scale farming.
Rock Hill Ranch sits on twenty acres at the southern tip of Suisun Valley, California, where breezes blow in from the west (Suisun means "west wind") creating a distinctive microclimate. The surrounding hills are full of compacted volcanic ash, called tuffo in Italian, creating a loamy soil…an ideal mix for growing olive trees. These are the same soil conditions that the Tuscans claim are responsible for making it the "best" region for growing olives...a claim we can now make for the Suisun Valley.
KATZ Rock Hill Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil contains the following olive varieties:
Taggiasca and Casaliva...100%, these varieties are native to the Ligurian and Lombardy regions of Italy respectively. Both are known for their full and persistent fruitiness with sweet overtones producing a lush mouth feel.
