Petroni Vineyards Sonoma Valley

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Having tasted many extra virgin olive oils, Vintner and Restaurateur Lorenzo Petroni could not find one that replicated the smooth and rich extra virgin oils of his native Tuscany. After years of searching, he decided to make his own.

In 1992 Lorenzo air-freighted 10,000 olive trees from Pescia, Italy to California. The trees were of five distinct Tuscan cultivars not commonly found in the United States; Pendolino, Leccino, Moraiolo, Frantoio, and Carotina. After the mandatory two-year quarantine only 2,000 trees survived, which were planted on the family estate in the West Mayacamas of Sonoma in 1994. Petroni Vineyard’s first 100% organic extra virgin olive oil was released in 1998. The olives are hand picked and cold pressed at Figone's of California Olive Oil Company.

This exceptionally rich, Tuscan-style extra virgin olive oil offers a robust herbal flavor and spicy finish, you'll discover this oil is the perfect complement to virtually any foods that you salt and pepper.

We received this wonderful email from one of our wine club members from Bodega Bay, California: " Thanks so much for our order. I love your wines! And your Olive Oil!! My 94-year-old Father takes a tablespoon of it every morning when he wakes up. And, he is sharp as a tack and lives in his own home! My best, Ginny Bassi"
