Nestled in the Carneros region of the Sonoma Valley is the Original, the ONLY most highly awarded California Olive Oil producer. The Olive Press was created in 1995 by Ed Stolman and Deborah Rogers, both California olive growers and producers who were inspired by the olive pressing facilities of Italy and Southern France. Dedicated to making only the finest Award-Winning, Fresh California Extra Virgin Olive Oil, they constructed a completely unique facility designed to produce not only the best local Extra Virgin Olive Oil many have grown to know and love, but also meet the custom pressing needs of commercial producers, growers with small harvests, and hobbyists wishing to create "estate" olive oil from home grown olives. How did they do it? Their impressive state-of-the-art Pieralisi processing equipment makes it all possible, and of course the expert eyes of Master Olive Oil Maker and Olive Queen, Deborah Rogers.
