2007 Achille's Blend Delivers Gold!

Gold Hill Olive Oil Co. is pleased to announce that our 2007 Achille's Blend has medaled twice and we are hoping for a third at the San Diego Bay Wine and Food Festival in November.

The Achille's Blend took a Gold at the Yolo County Fair in August in the Blended Extra Virgin Category as well as a Bronze in the Domestic/Sierra Foothills Category at the Super Bowl of Olive Oil competitions in the United States, The Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition.

We crushed our Achille's Blend on November 16, 2006. It is a blend of five Italian Olives grown at our ranch on Gold Hill Rd. Frantoio, Leccino, Lucca, Itrana and San Felice olives were used to create this unfiltered, robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Stay tuned for our 2007 crush, which we are estimating will be bottled by early December.

We are located at 5601 Gold Hill Rd. in Placerville, California. Please come and explore a unique experience in our 1860's tasting room where we offer several Extra Virgin Olive Oils on our bar as well as soaps, lotions and Olive-related gifts.

We are Open Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the year.
