Nestled in California’s low desert, just outside Palm Springs, Olive Lore grows olive varieties deeply rooted in Israel and the Mediterranean—Barnea, Zuri, and Picual—alongside Hojiblanca and Mission. They thrive in our arid climate much as they do in their native lands, developing bold, complex flavors shaped by the desert sun.

Our irrigation and cultivation practices were shaped in Israel, where olive growing is both an art and a science, perfected over centuries in a climate that mirrors our grove’s own. This link also carries the weight of tradition, with the olive tree—and the oil it yields—long embodying endurance, renewal, and a timeless bond to the land, all deeply rooted in my heritage.

There is another thread, equally personal. I first learned the cadence of cultivation in my father’s vineyard, where every choice was guided by patience and respect for the earth. Olive Lore brings these legacies together—heritage and craft—into a singular expression.

Produced in small, numbered batches, our oil is hand-harvested, cold-pressed, and left unfiltered to preserve its character. With fewer than 4,000 bottles each year, Olive Lore is a rare expression of place and lineage—crafted with intention, sustained by tradition, and made for those who value the exceptional.
