To ensure the very purest quality and freshness, California Olive Ranch stores oil in world-class, stainless steel storage tanks that can hold almost half a million gallons of oil. We maintain a nitrogen blanket on top of the oil to displace oxygen which is a natural enemy to the oil. Nitrogen helps to reduce the potential for oxidative rancidity. It’s an important step in preserving the fresh taste of our EVOO.
Our tanks are situated in dark, refrigerated rooms 24 X 7 X 365. This preserves the orchard-fresh taste and integrity of the oil. California Olive Ranch strictly monitors and regulates these conditions to ensure the highest possible oil quality.
