Welcome!

Welcome to the Olinda Ridge olive company blog. My name is Antonella Severo, and I am one of the owners of this family-owned company. Our family hails from different parts of Southern Italy, where olive trees are in abundance. Our parents have brought over a strong tradition of using olive oil and cooking Mediterranean style, always with the freshest ingredients they could grow or buy.

For our generation, it's a great pleasure years later to be getting back to our roots by running an olive farm and business. But don't think that we are stuck on Italian olive oil. We are adding a twist to the story by discovering the great taste and health benefits of Californian olive oil. Our farm is in Northern California and it is 100% organic. We are proud to be promoting sustainable farming methods as well.

In this freeform forum, we hope to be more personal and share some of our thoughts on living with olive oil, including health benefits and recipes. In addition, we will post updates on special events and other news.

We hope you enjoy!
