Regalo - Extra-Virgin Olive Oils from the Ojai Valley

The Mission and Manzanillo varieties of olives planted by the early Spanish settlers of California and the Ojai valley remain the most common olive varieties used to make extra-virgin olive oil in California to this day. However, they are generally considered to not make the best oil.

At Regalo we produce two exemplary extra virgin olive oils: Amelia and Caterina.

According to old world tradition, our characteristic Italian extra virgin olive oil, “Amelia” (for our daughter Emily), is produced from a unique blend of Coratina, Frantoio, Leccino and Maurino olives. Regalo “Amelia” is a classic Tuscan blend sure to have delighted the discriminating palates of Caesar, Michelangelo and Dante. Et tu?

In Spain, the finest olive oils are pure varietals. Thus our classic Spanish extra virgin olive oil “Caterina” (for our daughter Catherine) is produced from 100% Arbequina olives, the finest Spanish variety for oil making. What could possibly have united Picasso and Generalissimo Franco? Love for great olive oil, like Regalo “Caterina”, of course!
