Why Fresh, Estate-Grown Olive Oil Tastes Different

Most olive oil sold in the U.S. is imported, blended from many farms, and can sit for months before it reaches your kitchen. Ours comes from a single five-acre orchard in the Sierra Foothills. We hand-pick in November and December, keep the fruit temperature-controlled, and have it milled by Nick Sciabica & Sons within 48 hours, then bottle it unfiltered so you taste the whole fruit: fresh-cut grass, green herbs, and the peppery finish that tells you the oil is fresh.

Centenarian, dry-farmed trees

More than 100 years old, planted Old World style about 40 feet apart, and grown only on rainwater. No irrigation, no pesticides, no herbicides.

Lab-tested freshness

Independently lab tested every harvest. December 2025: 0.15% free fatty acids (California's limit is 0.5%) and 381 mg/kg polyphenols.

Unfiltered & cold-pressed

We leave in the fine olive particles for a fuller, fruitier flavor and a slightly cloudy look.

Small batch, family-run

Hand-picked by our family and milled by Nick Sciabica & Sons within 48 hours. About 150 gallons in a typical year.

Centenarian Trees. Young Farmers.

In 2019 our family began caring for a five-acre olive orchard in Valley Springs that was already more than a hundred years old. By 2022 the Rose brothers had learned to prune and harvest, and they started Rose Brothers Olives to share it.

They still do the work themselves, from pruning in winter to the hand harvest each November and December. Olives have deep roots in Calaveras County; some orchards here date back to the Gold Rush.
