Hillstone Olive Oil Company
The Story of Hillstone Olive Oil They are two friends, Laurie Schuler-Flynn and Amy DelBondio, who share an admiration for the age-old craft of producing olive oil and a passion for the art of food. Not satisfied with producing just another California olive oil, They founded Hillstone Olive Oil to satisfy an unceasing desire to produce the best quality, best tasting, locally grown California olive oil you can buy. At Hillstone, they have been able to achieve this high goal because of our unique rocky soil and ideal microclimate, and our willingness to work hard under a hot sun to nurture the olives with our own hands. This complex relationship gives our oil its unique character. This is our terroir. Hillstone started a couple of years ago when we worked the soil and planted their olive trees out in the rolling hills of California’sYolo County. Covered by sun-parched, toasted prairie grasses and scattered with native river stones of many beautiful colors, this landscape reminded them of the Mediterranean region, the original source of their olive trees. Tended by hand and given expert care throughout the year, our olives are allowed to reach their maximum flavor potential before picking. In the Fall, the olives are hand-harvested in one day and pressed into oil using an Italian–made press.
