Hello and Welcome to
The French Olive
The French Olive Ranch rests at the base of the Sierra Foothills, in the heart of California’s warm Mediterranean climate. Our trees are of French varietals and produce a mild, buttery Extra Virgin Olive Oil ideal for dipping, salad dressings and finishing chicken, seafood, and pastas.
We encourage health and happiness through a passion for good food, a little hard work, and a community of family and friends. Our philosophy is “many hands, make light work.”
