Calistoga Press, a fam­ily-owned olive oil pro­ducer located in the heart of Napa Valley, has been awarded a Silver at the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC). The com­pany is rec­og­nized for its extra vir­gin olive oil, which fea­tures a pre­dom­i­nance of Manzanillo olives with a touch of Italian vari­eties.

Operating in the United States, Calistoga Press is home to a small grove of 140 olive trees. The unique cli­mate of Calistoga, char­ac­ter­ized by hot, sunny days and cool nights, con­tributes to the qual­ity of their olives. For the past decade, the com­pany has pro­duced just under 100 gal­lons of cer­ti­fied extra vir­gin olive oil annu­ally.

Calistoga Press empha­sizes qual­ity and fresh­ness by har­vest­ing olives by hand when many are still green and milling them within a day. This method ensures the pro­duc­tion of high-qual­ity olive oil, which has now been rec­og­nized on an inter­na­tional stage at the NYIOOC.

The win­ning brands are pre­sented in the Official Guide and the Olive Oil Times World Ranking.
