McEvoy Ranch
Olive Oil

On the hillsides of a spectacular 550-acre Marin County ranch with over ten thousand olive trees, a bounty of olive varieties are grown, including Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, Maurino, Coratina and Leccio del Corno. In 1997 a newly-installed imported state of the art Sinolea extraction system enabled the extraction of olive oil without pressure and thus heat, which destroys flavor. Harvesting of the fruit is accomplished with a combination of hand picking and the use of pneumatic combs which gently reproduce the raking action of picking by hand. Traditional stone wheels crush the olives and the oil is extracted the same day of harvest, producting the freshest olive flavor possible with varietal complexity, bountiful olive flavor and a distinct peppery bite.

Gourmet Oils and Vinegars

These products have been selected for their outstanding flavors and possible health benefits. Some are unique to the wine country and are native "organic" products. The heightened awareness we are all having regarding our health and fitness and the contribution that prudent wine consumption may have, has led researchers to find that there are a number of wine-related products that are also proving to be extremely beneficial, not only for their, in most cases, "organic" methods of processing, but also for their direct influence on certain metabolic factors. Grapeseed oils for instance not only have outstanding flavors and cooking benefits, but are being proven to aid in cholesterol control and to contribute to a healthier life style.

Mendocino Mustard HOT & SWEET mustard has been hand-prepared in small batches on the Mendocino Coast since 1977. Its unique hot/sweet flavor has been often emulated,
but never equalled.

SEEDS & SUDS debuted in 1996. This spicy seeded beer mustard combines assertive heat, subtle flavor and an intriguing crunch. Seeds & Suds is made with award-winning Red Seal Ale.

Fat-free and very low in sodium, it makes a robust addition to a sandwich, a great glaze, and is the perfect accompaniment to pretzels and beer.

Seeds & Suds has distinguished itself as an award winner in the National Food Distribution Network's Mustard Mania.
