If you are on a quest for the “finest” balsamic vinegar in the world, go no further. We guarantee you will be delighted with this versatile and well balanced balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!
100% Natural
Gourmet - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Straight from the Lucero Farm
Our premium extra virgin olive oil is the natural juice of hand-harvested olives with no processing, chemicals, or filtering. Consuming our oil is like consuming our place, the climate, the character of our soil, the character of our family who produced it, and the care with which it has been harvested and pressed.
The fruity flavor of our estate-grown oil is distinct to our location. Influences that differentiate olives (and wine) from region to region are soil, weather, and climate. Each will leave its trace in the final product. Our groves sit at the northern tip of the Sacramento Valley and flourishes in a unique Mediterranean climate. The cold winter chill helps set the flower bloom, and the hot summer heat brings the fruit to full flavorful maturity.
The distinguishing flavor and full nutritional content of our extra virgin olive oil is safeguarded by delivery to the press within one day. Timely pressing captures the full flavor, complexity, and character of our oil.
All Lucero Olive Oils have been awarded the COOC Seal, certifying them as “Extra Virgin Olive Oil.” To read more about the COOC click here.
Remember, there are no strict rules for which type of oil is best. It’s all a matter of taste - your taste.
