• When you think of Trattore you think of delicious wine AND Olive Oil!

• Olive trees grow well in the hot and dry summers of Dry Creek Valley.

• Late October is the beginning of olive harvest.

• Trattore farms imported an entire Italian mill from Gruppo Pieralisi, Italy.

• All olive oil extracted from the Trattore Farms mill is extra virgin.

• Not only do they mill their own olive oil, they also offer milling to olive growers.

• Local olive growers with 1,000lbs or more of olives can use Trattore’s mill.

• I think there are at least 15 olive oil and vinegar flavors to sample.

• Some interesting olive oil flavors are: Basil, Jalapeño, and Lime.
