What does it take to win gold at the California State Fair? Cobram Estate 100% California Extra Virgin Olive Oil starts locally with Sacramento Valley-grown olives, hand-sorted as they’re harvested off the trees, crushed within hours of picking, bottled and shipped right to the store. Tree to table, Cobram Estate California Select is how fresh extra virgin olive oil should taste.
Robust: Named the Best California Olive Oil by the 2019 California State Fair, this spicy, fruity, leafy-flavored extra virgin olive oil is not to be missed. It is an early harvest oil which means the olives were picked and pressed while they’re still green and young. Blended with Arbosana, Coratina, Mission and Manzanillo olives, it creates a medium bitterness and pungency on the palate and robust, bold notes in its aroma. It’s great for roasting, grilling, dipping bread and finishing.
Classic: This blend of Arbequina, Picual, Koroneiki and Ascolano olives has a moderate bitterness and pungency. It’s great for grilling, salad dressings or dipping breads. In addition to multiple Gold Medals at international competitions and county fairs across the state, this blend also won Gold at the 2019 California State Fair.
Mild: Also a Gold Medalist at the 2019 California State Fair, this mild and mellow-flavored oil is well worth the trying. This blend of Arbequina and Chemlali olives is sweet and clean on the palate with low bitterness and a slight pungency. The sweet and fresh aromas of red apples, vanilla and tropical fruits also make it ideal for baking and salad dressings.
