History
Suncoast organic farm was created in 1991 to grow organic fruits and vegetables. in 2003 we planted our first Tuscan Italian olive trees. They have grown exceptionally well and Fall 2007 was our first harvest. We are a small farm so we can give special attention to detail. Our orchards are certified organic by the California Certified Organic Farmers or C.C.O.F. All our olives are grown for oil and harvested in the Fall of the year. We have two main Tuscan olives called frantoio and leccino with a few pendolino and maurino to help as pollinators.
The combination of olive varieties produces a Fall oil that is high quality, delicate, fruity, with a slightly grassy,spicy, peppery kick and a smooth, fluid finish with an artichoke bouquet. Our Tuscan organic oil is certified extra virgin by the California Olive Oil Council or C.O.O.C. so you can be guaranteed that our oil is extra virgin and meets the highest standards set by C.O.O.C. Our olives are pressed by master winemaker and olive oil craftsman Alessio Carli at Pietra Santa winery using a granite stone mill and the latest Italian olive oil pressing equipment to produce the 1st cold pressed, fresh organic oil. Each bottle is dated to when the olives were pressed and to when the oil was placed in the bottle (by lot number), so you can be assured the freshest possible oil. Before bottling, the oil is stored in stainless steel vats, air tight, to keep the oil fresh. You will receive the oil in a beautiful clear bottle to use as soon as you receive it. Enjoy the oil in good health.
