About Copper Hill Olive Oil

Copper Hill began as a father and son project focusing on sustainable agriculture. In 2002, twenty acres of olive trees were planted by them on what is named Copper Hill.
The name is due to the soil taking on a copper tone during sunset. The first harvest, in 2004, produced two tons of olives. And then, four years later another thirty acres were planted currently yielding three to four tons of olives an acre.
The oil is labeled with Artemis, the goddess of hunting, holding an olive branch instead of a spear. The spirit of Copper Hill now lay within the Molinaro Family. Deep-rooted in our Italian heritage, we adhere to continuing the tradition of Copper Hill: producing high-quality, California extra-virgin olive oil.
Our oils come from olives grown on the Copper Hill ranch alongside nearby family-owned Northern Californian olive groves. We currently produce three varieties of extra virgin olive oil: Arbequina, Koroneiki, and Frantoio.
The Varieties
Arbequina
is a Spanish varietal, is a medium-bodied olive oil with a freshly cut grass taste, and floral undertones, and is great for salad dressing, cooking fish, or dipping bread.
Koroneiki is a Greek varietal is a full-bodied oil with a robust, peppery finish that makes the perfect finishing oil on signature dishes.
Frantoio is an Italian varietal, grows in tall olive trees, is hand-picked, and provides a very mild flavor perfect for everyday cooking needs.
