We grow in a small southeast corner of California, but are proud to be a part of a global community of growers. We believed from the very start that people deserve more than just a bottle on a shelf — they deserve to know the story of their food. That belief has guided us every step of the way, shaping how we grow, harvest, and craft each bottle of our signature olive oil.
Our Process
We Always have a fresh olive oil every 6 months. Olives only harvest once in each hemisphere. With our connections to small farms in the Southern Hemisphere, we are able to take advantage of a 2nd growing season, which allows us to provide you with a fresh olive oil every 6 months.
Our Story
We planted 50 olive trees in 2009 with the romantic idea of being able to make our own olive oil. Our cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is milled within hours of harvest, with no heat or chemicals, to preserve delicate aromas and natural antioxidants. This means every drizzle carries the vibrant grassy notes, peppery finish, and fruit-forward character that only true extra virgin olive oil can deliver. We practice sustainable farming and partner with like-minded growers worldwide. By choosing extra virgin olive oil made in an organic style, you’re choosing a product that avoids synthetic pesticides and honors the natural cycles of the land.At first taste we looked at each other and said, this is amazing, we should plant more trees! We realized very quickly that the olive oil we had bought growing up and the olive oil we were making was very different. Our groves thrive in California, but we also collaborate with trusted family farms in the Southern Hemisphere. This allows us to harvest twice a year, ensuring that Lot22 customers enjoy olive oil that’s never past its prime. With two harvests annually, freshness is something you can taste in every pour.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
After 3 years, we harvested our first small crop, and worked through the night until morning to get the best olive oil we could.
With our connections to small farms in the Southern Hemisphere, we are
able to take advantage of a 2nd growing season which allows us to
provide you with a fresh olive oil every 6 months.
Today we still grow, but also work with many of the same family farmers
who helped us along the way to create all of our cold pressed olive
oil’s from Lot22.
