Producer of the Month:
Robbins Family Farm
Robbins Family Farm is a partner of Beyond the Olive, and has a breathtaking estate in the rolling hills of San Louis Obispo, California. We currently carry several of their products, including their Ascolano and Mandarin Flavored EVOOs, and their wonderful 18-year aged balsamic vinegar. Here is a look at Robbins Family Farm from Robbie Robbins, owner and producer:
We are a small producer of Tuscan, Spanish, and California varietal olive oils in San Luis Obispo California. Our 1972 honeymoon in the Spanish countryside gave us our first experience of olive groves and olive oil. The site of the trees and the aroma and taste of the oil fresh from the mill remained with us. In the 1990’s after moving to the Central Coast of California we rediscovered the wonders of olive oil and planted our own orchards. We sustainably grow our trees and hand pick our olives. After harvest, our family tastes and blends with oils from our own orchards and complimentary varietals from other small orchards in San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara Counties. To maintain maximum taste and freshness we hand bottle just prior to selling or shipping. Our maritime influenced Mediterranean climate with cool mornings, warm long days and crisp evenings adds to the distinctive flavor of our oils compared to other more traditional olive growing regions. Meet the Producer:
