100% California Reserve Miller's Blend
This is the gold standard for domestic oil, carrying the COOC (California Olive Oil Council) seal which enforces stricter standards than the USDA. It is consistently fresh, single-origin, and provides a harvest date on every bottle.
Ingredients & Purity
100% California-grown olives, primarily Arbequina, Arbosana, and Koroneiki varieties. Cold-pressed within hours of harvest.
Scientific Evidence
COOC Certified Extra Virgin. Third-party tested for acidity levels (consistently below 0.5%) and peroxide values to ensure lack of oxidation.
Brand Transparency
Full traceability to California groves. Harvest dates are clearly printed on the back label, unlike competitors who only provide 'Best By' dates.
Value Assessment
Excellent price-to-quality ratio for a certified single-origin oil. Widely available in US retail without the premium 'boutique' markup.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike mass-market brands like Bertolli or Pompeian, this is never blended with older oils or lower-quality imports from multiple countries. It avoids the 'Global Blend' trap that many competitors use to hide rancidity.
